Abstract
NAS reports increased significantly over time, most pronounced between 2010 and 2014, while the trend for FASD reports did not show significant change over the study period. Moreover, the child welfare reports data obtained from the 10 state sample aligned with national NAS incidence data. Although recent efforts to curb prescribing and other means of supply have been implemented, it remains to be seen whether the large rise seen will continue or be ameliorated by these public health initiatives. However, overall these findings suggest that immediate efforts are needed to prepare the child welfare system for this trend, as well as to treat opioid addiction among women of child bearing age.
