The objective of this conference is to provide health care providers with the tools they need to screen for alcohol abuse, diabetes, smoking and other risk factor;to identify patients at risk or those participating in risky behavior, and promote options that lead to a healthier population, prevention of birth defects, and prevention of disease. Participants will be able to identify and implement ways to positively affect standards of care and clinical practices that promote the prevention of birth defects, enhance disease prevention/health maintenance, and encourage early diagnosis and culturally sensitive clinical care. Participants will also be able to identify and implement systems intervention strategies in the assessment and treatment of women and neonates in Level I hospitals, low risk maternity units, or ambulatory health centers. The conference will provide lectures and workshops that not only address medical conditions related to birth defects but also address other related perinatal conditions. Conference participants will also be given resources and publications from ACOG that are the standard of care for the country in obstetrics and gynecology. Conference speakers are chosen for their expertise in topics being offered, and for their teaching skills, as well as for experience in Indian health settings. The conference will be held August 15-18, 2010 in Salt Lake City, Utah for approximately 110 providers. * Estimated number of people to be served as a result of the award of this grant. 110 !"!#$ Project Abstract The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologist is applying for conference funding to convene a four-day Conference on Native Maternal/Child Health: Prevention of Birth Defects, Health Promotion, and Disease Prevention.
