Annual Research Review: Prenatal opioid exposure – a two-generation approach to conceptualizing neurodevelopmental outcomes
Paper from the JCPP Special Issue: Annual Research Review 2023 – ‘Opioid use during pregnancy impacts the health and well-being of two generations: the pregnant person and the child.
