( Birth . 2024;51(3):541-558. doi:10.1111/birt.12809) Rates of opioid prescriptions and amount of medication prescribed for postpartum women vary significantly worldwide, which presents a concern since opioid use itself may lead to addiction. This study focused on understanding the situations in which opioids were prescribed to patients, with the hope to improve postpartum prescribing practices.
