Learning Objectives:
Communicate the current recommendations for long-term monitoring of infants with NAS.
Describe the prevention interventions that can help mitigate any potential long-term effects of NAS.
Communicate the current science on potential long-term health and educational outcomes for infants with NAS.
Practice using terms and preferred language to help reduce stigma and discrimination around substance use and recovery.
Describe SAMHSA’s three E's of Trauma: Events, Experience, and Effect of trauma.
Explain how health care settings can apply Trauma-Informed Care (TIC) principles.
Discuss common misconceptions about medication-assisted recovery and strategies to address them.

Obesity has become a major health problem among American Indians. Lifestyle risk behaviors include nutrient-poor food and drink choices, larger food portions, and physical inactivity.
The Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates that 48 million people get sick, 128,000 are hospitalized, and 3,000 die from foodborne diseases each year in the US. US consumers report that they consider health professionals as the most trustworthy sources of food safety information, especially for the elderly (older than 65) who are vulnerable to foodborne illnesses.
