Best practices require that all pregnantwomen are questioned at prenatal visits about ATOD use. However, few OB/GYN’s screen women foralcohol and <strong>the</strong> majority need assistance with training and resources. In a recent survey conducted byCADFP among OB/GYN providers in Santa Clara County (SCC), 98% of providers reported asking <strong>the</strong>irpregnant patients about tobacco use, but only 11% screened for alcohol use.Sixty seven percent of OB/GYN providers needed assistance in identifying ATOD users--validatingCADFP’s mission to raise <strong>the</strong> capacity of perinatal service providers to prevent and treat perinatalsubstance use.SETTINGIn our county, CADFP provides perinatal health professional’s with education, resources and capacitybuilding tools to implement a universal Screening, Brief Intervention, and Referral to Treatment (SBIRT)program.
