About
This study will determine the feasibility of offering expanded continuous labor support by trauma- and addiction-trained medical paraprofessionals (i.e. doulas) at no cost to pregnant women receiving care for substance use disorders (SUD). The long-term goal of this transdisciplinary multilevel intervention is ultimately to reduce a major existing behavioral health disparity in the state. This cross-campus multi-disciplinary collaboration, is in partnership with Young Women United (a research and policy organization in NM) and doulas of the UNM Birth Companion Program. Through this partnership, women receiving combined OB/SUD treatment at the Milagro Program at UNMHSC will be offered expanded doula services.
