About

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.

Full 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.
