The investigators are testing two models of support for pregnant women with an opioid use disorder (OUD)
The investigators are proposing a cluster randomized clinical trial to compare the effectiveness of two models of support for reproductive health clinicians to provide care for pregnant and postpartum women with an OUD: 1) a collaborative care (CC) approach based upon the Massachusetts Office-Based-Opioid Treatment (OBOT) Model that would provide onsite training, and support to providers and participants through the use of care managers (CMs) vs 2) a telesupport approach modeled on the Project Extension for Community Healthcare Outcomes (ECHO), a remote education model that provides mentorship and guided practice and participation in a learning community, via video conferencing.

| Label | Type | Description | Intervention Names |
|---|---|---|---|
| Collaborative Care (CC) | Experimental | The CC team includes an obstetrical provider and a nursing case manager. The obstetrician will see all participants, initially to discuss preferences for addiction treatment, buprenorphine, methadone (MAT) or no MAT. The obstetrician will see participants every 1-2 weeks, as needed and will provide prenatal care. The care team will meet at least monthly and review the participants' status. For research purposes, the CM will obtain informed consent, collect and enter results of the urine drug screen (UDS) into a database. At enrollment and at 26 and 34 weeks' gestation the care manager will ask participants to complete an assessment battery of self-reported measures. |
|
| Extension for Community Healthcare Outcomes (ECHO) | Active Comparator | ECHO is a remote education model that provides mentorship and guided practice and participation in a learning community, via video conferencing. The practice members who participate in ECHO will include obstetricians and nurses as well as other members of the care team who wish to join. Providers are given access to a password-protected website containing the recorded sessions, a discussion board, and resource library. CME credits are available for each session and can motivate providers to attend. |
|
| Name | Type | Description | Arm Group Labels | Other Names |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Collaborative Care (CC) | Behavioral | The sites randomized to CC will have 4-6 on-site support visits at the outset of the study. These visits will occur during the first 3 months of the project. During these visits, study staff will again review buprenorphine induction procedures (heretofore referred to as "initiation" rather than "induction") and dosing of buprenorphine as well as therapeutic behavioral treatments. The investigators will provide the center with forms and educational materials as well as an "app" that can be run to help dosing during initiation procedures. At the same time, the investigators will teach obstetricians, nurses and support staff the principles of motivational interviewing. The investigators will set up visits for the CM to meet with a recovery coach trainer provided by the investigators' community partner. |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Treatment Engagement | Dichotomous - A participant completes engagement if the baseline assessment is completed and the participant has had greater than 2 visits for treatment of OUD | 30 days from baseline |
| Treatment Retention | Dichotomous- A participant is considered to have been successfully retained in the study if the participant remained in treatment with no stoppage of greater than 1 month. The numbers reported below for 3 months postpartum differ from those in the Participant Flow, as the numbers in the Participant Flow represent only completed REDCap survey assessments. For the retention outcome, we could utilize additional sources of data collection, such as medical records, site reports, and treatment utilization forms (which were done more frequently than survey assessments), thus resulting in a higher N for this outcome. | delivery and three-month post-partum |
| Patient Activation Measure (PAM) | The PAM is a patient-centered questionnaire that measures health care knowledge, beliefs, skills and confidence in managing illnesses. The PAM has 13 items with a 5-point Likert response scale. The raw scores are summed and transformed to 0-100 metric (0 = lowest activation level, 100 = highest). The Week 26 numbers below are lower than those in the Participant Flow because participants were allowed to enter the study after 26 weeks of pregnancy and did not have a separate baseline and Week 26 PAM assessment; instead, it was counted as their baseline PAM assessment only. However, other study assessments were unique to week 26 and were completed concurrently with baseline assessments, which were counted separately, accounting for the higher N for Week 26 in the Participant Flow. The postpartum ECHO sample size is 85 rather than 86 because one participant skipped the PAM questions during their 3-month postpartum assessment. | baseline, week 26, week 36 and 3-monhts post-partum |

230 pregnant participants were enrolled; however, two participants had their pregnancies end before they could engage in the intervention. Therefore, only 228 participants underwent the intervention.
Recruitment of participants occurred at one of the participating clinical sites. Clinical sites, not participants, were randomized to either CC or ECHO; therefore, all participants recruited from the same clinical site were randomized to the same model, CC or ECHO.
