NNPQC Thematic Webinar Mandatory Reporting & Public Health: An Increase in Preventable Harms

Congenital syphilis cases are on the rise, as are calls from health care providers to state child abuse and neglect hotlines. Join Dr. Mishka Terplan and Lauren Paulk, JD to learn about how mandatory reporting requirements can deter pregnant people — especially pregnant people who use substances — from seeking prenatal and other care, and frustrate health care providers committed to delivering high-quality, patient-centered care. This presentation will detail the legal and ethical parameters of mandatory reporting and provide resources and community to best support pregnant patients who use substances.  We look forward to seeing you there!
