October 27, 2026 3:00 PM - 4:00 PM (EDT)

Description

  • The science and treatment of SUD
  • An overview of laws and policies directing newborn positive drug test results to law enforcement
  • Issues and disparities surrounding testing and referrals
  • A public health approach recently legislated in Illinois
