The Substance Abuse Distance Learning to Enhance MCH Service (SADLE) Project seeks to reduce the harm caused by substance abuse in the MCH population by providing distance education addressing the prevention and management of alcohol and tobacco use and its consequences to MCH professionals and students. The SADLE Project will provide accessible, to up-to-date information on how to plan, implement and evaluate substance abuse interventions. One course will be developed each year for a total of three courses. The SADLE courses will address targeting prevention and treatment programs for women of child bearing age including pregnant and lactating women (Course 1), managing the consequences of substance abuse on infants and children (Course 2), and targeting prevention and treatment programs for adolescents (Course 3).

The SADLE Project is conducted by the University of Arizona Department of Family and Community Medicine and the Mel and Enid Zuckerman College of Public Health on behalf of the Rocky Mountain Public Health Education Consortium (RMPHEC). This project was suported with funds from the Maternal Child Health Bureau (MCHB) of the Health Resource and Services Administration (HRSA) of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS).
