🔬 Just published! Check out our latest paper challenging the reporting of prenatal #cannabis use to #CPS in Child Abuse & Neglect. Most racial disparities in exposure to the CPS system start at the point of reporting. bit.ly/4fl8n2N 🧵1/4

‼️ New pub‼️ Implications of #xylazine exposure in pregnancy: a narrative review @shang_maggie @gmcmurtrie7 @PittGIM @UPMC @MageeOBGYNRes pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/3916…
3/ And equitable tox testing and case-based rather than reflexive mandatory reporting as highlighted by @rohankhaz in tinyurl.com/JAMAPedsCPS Thanks to @pnqinma @MassDPH @Mass_HPC for entrusting us to do this work and most importantly the women who shared their experiences.

1/ 🚨💡🧵 *NEW from #PAS2024 & now out in @JAMAPediatrics*
Our quasi-experimental analysis shows @The_BMC reduced #ChildProtectiveServices reporting for prenatal substance exposure by 45pp w/o adverse consequences during the birth hospitalization.

Incredibly imp work led by @rohankhaz, @HEHsuMD & more @The_BMC. Changing from reflexive mandated reporting to case-based led to drop in filings w/o change in custody disposition. Multidisciplinary hospital-based team decision making can identify protective factors and risks.

We talked to #MassandCass encampment residents, who told us that tents felt safer (bc people were there to watch over them while they used) and more personalized/private than standard shelters, but that once swept away…

Happy to share the new ABM guidelines for breastfeeding in the setting of SUDs @SaiaKelley @miriamh_harris @mkomaromyMD @davida_schiff @KateStandish7 @The_BMC liebertpub.com/doi/10.1089/b… – at Newton, MA
What started as a fellowship project in 2015 to explore the utility of restrictive breastfeeding guidelines for birthing people with SUD (pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/3306…), thx to @miriamh_harris's advocacy and determination has led to an updated ABM protocol: liebertpub.com/doi/10.1089/b…
Key updates: support of birthing ppl initiating breastfeeding w/o use at delivery and approaches to support motivated ppl w/ recent use to establish a milk supply to initiate breastfeeding when safe to do so. @elisha_wachman @SaiaKelley @KateStandish7 Serra Muftu @mghfc @The_BMC
