Perinatal Care and Medication Assisted Treatment: Carbon/Emery Counties

November 9, 2020 updated by: Jerry Cochran, University of Utah
The purpose of this study is to enhance perinatal opioid use disorder (OUD) treatment in a rural setting by developing an evaluated curriculum of perinatal OUD provider education.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

The research team will establish and evaluate a perinatal model of care for OUD serving two counties, Carbon and Emery, which have high rates of OUD and overdose. This model of care will entail University of Utah medical clinicians providing education and webinars to healthcare providers in Carbon/Emery counties who care for pregnant women with OUD and their babies. This model of care will also help other social and behavioral health care providers in the area to understand how to treat and better coordinate care. No clinical services are being provided by University of Utah investigators or staff.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Self-report of linkage and adherence to treatment as assessed by the Treatment Service Review- 6 (TSR-6)
Time Frame: This data will be collected from each participant during a baseline assessment, a pre-delivery assessment occurring between 34 and 40 weeks of gestation, and a final assessment conducted within 30-days following delivery.
Patients will complete the Treatment Services Review-6 (TSR-6) in order to measure changes in service across time. The TSR-6 is a clinically validated 56-item measure with excellent reliability for assessing drug and alcohol treatment engagement, medication use (including drug, alcohol, psychiatric, and physical health medications), psychiatric care, family services, financial/employment/housing, and legal services. This measure captures linkage/retention in care, that is to say: initiation and daily engagement in services. Specifically, the research team will capture frequency of meetings/sessions/days in OUD and other substance counseling and psychiatric care and social services. The research team will also use the TSR-6 medication use section to capture adherence to buprenorphine or methadone. Data collected will be used to measure change across time in linkage and retention in health and behavioral health services.
This data will be collected from each participant during a baseline assessment, a pre-delivery assessment occurring between 34 and 40 weeks of gestation, and a final assessment conducted within 30-days following delivery.
