Abstract

ABSTRACT The purpose of our study was to obtain expert opinions with respect to the barriers, strengths, and strategies related to community-based services for children ages 0 to 3 years who were born with NAS and their mothers' post-hospital discharge. Participants consisted of the Department of Social Services (DSS) and Children’s Developmental Service Agency (CDSA) employees in 10 western North Carolina counties. We used a Delphi study approach with an online survey consisting of three rounds of surveys over 4 months. Information yielded from this study can be used to help guide policy-level efforts in improving long-term outcomes for children and their families.
