MNPQC is currently collecting Postpartum Patient Experience Surveys on Navigating Perinatal Healthcare with Substance Use Disorder in Minnesota. We seek responses from individuals who have been pregnant in the past 5 years while using drugs or alcohol, though those who did not are also welcome. The anonymous survey takes 15-20 minutes to complete, and participants can receive a $20 gift card. Available in English, Spanish, Hmong, and Somali.

Guest speaker, Tolu Odebunmi, MBBS, MPH, will review current recommendations for screening perinatal mental health concerns, including depression and anxiety, during pregnancy and postpartum. Participants will learn the optimal timing for screenings at key touchpoints like prenatal visits and pediatric follow-ups, aligning with national guidelines. The session will also discuss strategies for integrating screening into workflows to improve care continuity for birthing individuals and their families.
