Abstract
What is already known on this subject?
The opioid epidemic in the United States has claimed millions of lives in the past two decades. The epidemic is associated with neonatal abstinence syndrome and traumatic event exposure to young children, which has detrimental effects on children’s development. Young children affected by the opioid epidemic are being referred at high rates to early intervention services.
What this study adds?
We consolidated the evidence-based research on the topics and provided them in an asynchronous web-based training to the early childhood workforce. We then examined the feasibility and significance of the training on early childhood workforce knowledge.
