Alcohol and drug use during pregnancy is a major risk factor for maternal morbidity and neonatal complications, but the prevalence of substance use by women that are pregnant or are of childbearing age is quite high. Early detection by screening of all pregnant women and those planning pregnancies should be a priority. These modules address the assessment of women broadly, and detailed information with regards to alcohol, tobacco and opioid use.
