🔬 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. https://t.co/n7pnI9L8aL 🧵1/4

3/ And equitable tox testing and case-based rather than reflexive mandatory reporting as highlighted by @rohankhaz in https://t.co/UmTyWs24oA Thanks to @pnqinma @MassDPH @Mass_HPC for entrusting us to do this work and most importantly the women who shared their experiences.

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.

1/ 🚨💡🧵 *NEW from #PAS2024 & now out in @JAMAPediatrics*

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…

What started as a fellowship project in 2015 to explore the utility of restrictive breastfeeding guidelines for birthing people with SUD (https://t.co/Of3NYnVM65), thx to @miriamh_harris's advocacy and determination has led to an updated ABM protocol: https://t.co/kTuCns5I4D
