Summary

This trial will test if a provider education program can help increase adoption of evidence-based practices for treating OUD during pregnancy, and improve maternal-child health outcomes.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for prenatal care providers who treat pregnant women with opioid use disorder (OUD). Providers must be English-speaking and work at obstetric sites. While patient data will be used, only a small group of English-speaking pregnant women meeting OUD criteria will be directly involved in interviews.
What is being tested?
The STEPuP intervention is being tested against usual care to see if it improves the adoption of evidence-based treatments for OUD during pregnancy by prenatal providers. The goal is to enhance maternal-child health outcomes through better provider practices.
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial focuses on education and training programs for healthcare providers rather than direct medical interventions, there are no traditional side effects associated with the study.
