our approach has changed substantially at vanderbilt based on best practices around the country. no longer do infants that have drug withdrawal come to the neonatal intensive care unit. they stay with their mom in possible in the newborn nursery and then go to a hospital outside the icu. we find that keeping mom and babies together it decreases the severity of the drug withdrawal and keeps the bonding from early on, it's so important. your questions around long-term outcomes are really important. one of the things that we need say dishl research to understand. there really aren't large prospective studies to follow infants as they go to kindergarten. we have some older studies that suggest that there may be some issues with attention, maybe with language, but there aren't robust studies. it's an area that needs to be funded. as we think through this and react to what we're doing now, one of the vital things that we do is support infants for those first few years of life and includes partnering with child welfare. so every infant that's substance exposed should be referred for ear
