Primary outcomePrimary: Nurse Stigma Toward Perinatal Substance Use — 2.89; 2.93; 3.54; 3.1 score on a scale — p=<.05

Summary

The goal of this pilot clinical trial is to evaluate the feasibility and limited effectiveness of a digital, arts-based educational intervention addressing nurse stigma towards perinatal substance use. The main questions it aims to answer are: * What is the the feasibility of delivering the training through an asynchronous, web-based platform? * What is the limited effectiveness of the program on nurse stigma towards perinatal substance use? Participants will access and complete the training, including completion of a perinatal substance use stigma scale at baseline, immediately post, and 1-2 months month later. Participants will also be invited to participate in an interview. Researchers will compare the intervention and control groups to see if the training reduces nurse stigma towards perinatal substance use.
