Have 8 Minutes? Share Your Thoughts on Client Substance Use

Feb 3, 2026

We’re listening! We want to learn about your work with clients on alcohol and other substance use.

In just eight minutes, you can help us better train and educate social workers who serve clients at risk for substance-related problems, including substance use disorders and substance-exposed pregnancy. Your responses will be completely anonymous.

NASW, along with other leading professional groups, is part of the Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders National Partner Network, a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) initiative.

In partnership with NASW Foundation and the Health Behavior Research and Training Institute (HBRT) at The University of Texas at Austin School of Social Work, we’re working to address alcohol and other substance use during pregnancy by improving practice, education, and awareness among health professionals.

We appreciate your feedback and support for the NASW community.
