Women often begin substance use because of family or partner use, a mood disorder such as depression or anxiety, or an eating disorder. Women who have a substance use disorder (SUD) are also more likely to have experienced trauma such as sexual or physical abuse or abuse during childhood. In this webinar, Carolyn Warner-Greer, MD, medical director of the Bowen Recovery Center in Fort Wayne, will provide guidance about the particular needs of women dealing with an SUD, as well as approaches to treating and supporting them, including key messages and recommendations for screening and assessment.

The committee’s overarching mission is to increase awareness of the issues surrounding pregnancy-related death, identify problems contributing to these deaths and promote change among individuals, communities and health care systems in order to reduce the number of deaths. This presentation by MMRC Chair Mary Pell Abernathy, MD, MBA, will describe the details and aggregated data from the reviews completed by the MMRC over the past several years.
