Critique of Minneapolis Police Response to Domestic Violence Has Implications for Children
This Global Rights for Women study of the Minneapolis Police Department found that officers seldom pursued perpetrators of domestic violence once they left the scene, and the Department makes far fewer reports and arrests than is typical nationally. Our study of child fatalities similarly showed that failed responses to domestic violence contributed to 28% of children’s deaths. Join Rich Gehrman for a full discussion and analysis in this week's podcast.

What the New Task Force on Prenatal Alcohol and Drug Use Will Mean for Women and Children
A new state task force on prenatal Substance Use Disorder (SUD) will likely consider whether to end mandated reporting of SUD to child protection, both prenatally and at birth. Medical associations’ policy positions uniformly state that mandated reporting of prenatal SUD inhibits women from seeking medical care. While the research isn’t as clear-cut as they say, creative outreach efforts to engage high-risk women in prenatal care is probably the best current option for protecting children. Join Rich Gehrman for a full discussion and analysis in this week's podcast.

Is There a Best Way to Reduce Prenatal Substance Abuse?
We have been reviewing research on prenatal Substance Abuse Disorder (SUD) because of this legislation proposing a task force on the issue. The American College of Gynecologists and similar organizations have issued statements opposing mandated reporting of SUD, which they believe deters women from getting prenatal care. This (open access) article on alcohol addiction supports that view. However the organizations’ statements don’t address some nuances of the issue, and none mention the potential health consequences of SUD for children, particularly from alcohol use. Join Rich Gehrman and Jeff Montpetit for a full discussion and analysis in this week's podcast.
