Toolkit contents: 2023 AWHONN National Conference, National Nurse Practitioner Symposium, 2023 NPWH National Conference
As part of preconception and prenatal care, this toolkit is designed to help women’s healthcare providers meet their patient’s needs to prevent or manage a healthy pregnancy by addressing alcohol use.
The goal of the toolkit is to help clinicians treat people of reproductive age with efficient, evidence-based strategies and resources related to alcohol screening and brief intervention (SBI) so that personal health outcomes are achieved. Alcohol SBI is an effective clinical preventive service designed to identify and help clients reduce harms associated with excessive alcohol use.
On this page you can find the complete contents of the hard copy toolkit distributed at the AWHONN 2023 conference, with the added advantage of being able to select which items to download.
