El lado oscuro de las pruebas de drogas en el embarazo

Las pruebas de drogas a personas embarazadas, durante el embarazo o en el parto, se analizan como una práctica con efectos desiguales. El video sostiene que afectan mucho más a las personas BIPOC y de bajo nivel socioeconómico que a las personas blancas más acomodadas. Señala que un resultado positivo puede deberse a sustancias legales usadas en otros estados o a medicamentos administrados en el hospital. También describe casos en los que una denuncia a los servicios de protección infantil llevó a separar al bebé de su madre o padre.

• Desigualdades raciales y socioeconómicas en las pruebas al nacer
• Falsos positivos por sustancias legales y medicamentos hospitalarios
• Denuncias a protección infantil y separación familiar

Drug testing pregnant people during pregnancy or at birth is…complicated, and my feelings on it are complicated. But what’s NOT complicated is the ways in which drug testing affects BIPOC people and lower socioeconomic status people a whole lot more than it does wealthier white people. A positive drug test could be due to partaking legally in other states or even from medications given to the pregnant person while they’re in the hospital, but I’ve seen cases where this happens, CPS is called, and the baby is separated from its parent. The fact that his happens at all, let alone frequently across the US, is a travesty. Let’s talk about why and how we can do better. 00:00 - Intro 00:17 - Background [TX Experience] 2:13 - Calling CPS 2:49 - False Positives 5:17 - Implicit Bias in Testing 8:37 - Separating Babies/Parents 10:06 - More Resources 10:36 - Treating Substance Abuse 13:16 - Q&A 16:01 - Do No Harm Podcast Resources: Scientific Publications: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2859171/, https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37769307/, Axios: https://www.axios.com/2023/04/17/study-bias-drug-testing-pregnant-patients Texas Medical Association: https://www.texmed.org/Template.aspx?id=54015 ProPublica: https://www.propublica.org/article/how-some-alabama-hospitals-drug-test-new-mothers-without-their-consent Alabama story: https://www.al.com/news/2020/02/false-positive-shines-light-on-alabama-hospital-drug-testing-policies.html Killing the Black Body: https://www.amazon.com/Killing-Black-Body-Reproduction-Meaning/dp/0679758690 Crack Babies Ep. of You’re Wrong About: https://youtu.be/C4zT351MvMI?si=cPSXFtPxw4sT4RYV Do No Harm Podcast: https://wondery.com/shows/do-no-harm/ Watch next: Making a Global Impact on Maternal Mortality: https://youtu.be/hJFTkY50YVk?si=_FLi4HeE-f5rp8CL The Shocking Story of Octomom’s CORRUPT Fertility Doctor: https://youtu.be/CkKo7QQoDXc?si=qpY3TapazNnjUp6p The Hormone Balancing Hoax: https://youtu.be/LJUxL5uytW4?si=Q68ZTFjEpLi7UMXb Become a channel Membryo to connect & access perks! https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCrPhcbDwqWRc-3tteE2BS6g/join MDJ Secret Second Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCAkrMPc856DvoxX99IyGYmw I stream on Twitch weekly (usually Sundays): https://www.twitch.tv/mamadoctorjones - Playlist of full-length Twitch streams for channel membryos: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLVH2Gpf8wKeRO7TL3vfzJkfsF9eHmQGkP FOLLOW ME ON SOCIAL: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mamadoctorjones Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/mamadoctorjones TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@mamadoctorjones ** The information in this video is intended to serve as educational information and is not intended or implied to be a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis or treatment.
