Improving Reproductive Health for Women in Opioid Medication-Assisted Treatment (OMAT)

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Contraception

In brief

Recent research suggests that women with substance use disorders may be at a higher risk of unintended pregnancy. There is a paucity of interventions specifically focused on this population. Through using mixed methods, this study proposes to develop a brief peer-led intervention (based on the Health Belief Model) to prevent unintended pregnancies among women entering opioid medication-assisted treatment; to assess acceptability, feasibility and the initial efficacy of the behavioral intervention; and to conduct exploratory analyses to identify the Health Belief Model constructs that are most influential on use of long-acting reversible contraception methods. Future research would include testing the intervention in a larger scale trial and with other populations.
