A Mobile Approach to Empower Perinatal Women with Opioid Use Disorder and Enhance Neonatal Abstinence Syndrome Care

Ekaterina Burduli, PhD, MS
Washington State University

ABSTRACT:
Substance use during pregnancy and parenthood presents significant public health challenges, with potentially severe consequences for mothers and infants with Neonatal Abstinence Syndrome (NAS). Addressing this issue requires innovative, comprehensive interventions and patient-centered approaches to improve care for perinatal women and families impacted by substance use disorders (SUD). This presentation will describe a NIDA-funded K01 study that focuses on developing and assessing the usability, acceptability, and feasibility of a mobile educational tool designed to support pregnant women with OUD in navigating the perinatal period and infant NAS care. Qualitative data that guided the tool's development will be presented, alongside findings from user testing and a pilot randomized trial.

CDIAS PSMG: Tanya Saraiya

Addressing Underlying Trauma in Opioid Use

Tanya Saraiya, PhD
Medical University of South Carolina

ABSTRACT:
Up to 90% of people with opioid use disorder (OUD) have trauma exposure and up to 41% have posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). However, studies estimate that less than 12% of people with OUD and co-occurring PTSD receive treatment for their PTSD. Dr. Saraiya will present her early career work on assessing and addressing underlying trauma among people struggling with opioid use. Specifically, she will share findings from a new integrated therapy for opioid use disorder and PTSD and the development of a digital toolkit to assess for intimate partner violence in three opioid treatment programs in South Carolina. Throughout this talk, other projects and associated reflections on how systemic racism and healthcare barriers influence trauma and opioid use treatment will be discussed.

It takes a village: Implementing a pragmatic trial to evaluate a group telehealth intervention for family members affected by opioid use disorder

Karen Osilla, PhD
Stanford University School of Medicine

ABSTRACT:
Opioid use disorder (OUD) has devastating effects on individuals, families, and communities. This presentation describes eINSPIRE (INtegrating Support Persons Into REcovery), a pragmatic randomized trial that tests the Community Reinforcement Approach and Family Training (CRAFT) intervention delivered via group telehealth therapy compared to usual care. CRAFT is an evidence-based approach for the family members or close friends (referred to as Support Persons; SPs) of individuals with a substance use disorder. Patients and SP dyads were recruited across five community health systems in Southern and Northern California that provide buprenorphine treatment and mental health services. This presentation will describe our dyadic recruitment and implementation insights on the adoption, reach, and feasibility of intervening with SPs in these settings.
