Navigating pregnancy and addiction recovery: Patient perspectives on perinatal care interventions for women with opioid use disorder in Kentucky, USA

In Kentucky, USA, there appears to be a high level of acceptability for a pregnancy-specific opioid use disorder recovery education intervention among pregnant patients on medications for opioid use disorder (MOUD). Major recommendations include prioritizing the expansion of integrated prenatal and addiction care, including through the use of telehealth in communities with insufficient clinical capacity, and engaging the entire perinatal healthcare team in stigma training and foundational training on MOUD, which may reduce episodes of enacted stigma in the care setting.
