Naloxone use during pregnancy-data from 26 US jurisdictions, 2019-2020
Board A , D'Angelo DV , Miele K , Asher A , Salvesen von Essen B , Denny CH , Terplan M , Dunkley J , Kim SY . J Addict Med 2024 OBJECTIVES: We aimed to determine the prevalence of self-reported naloxone use during pregnancy among people in the United States with a recent live birth. A secondary objective was to characterize people at increased risk of overdose who did and did not use naloxone. METHODS: We analyzed data from the Pregnancy Risk Assessment Monitoring System from 26 US jurisdictions that conducted an opioid supplement survey from 2019 to 2020. Respondents with increased risk of experiencing an opioid overdose were identified based on self-reported use of illicit amphetamines, heroin, cocaine, or receiving medication for opioid use disorder (MOUD) during pregnancy. Weighted prevalence estimates and 95% confidence intervals were calculated for reported naloxone use at any point during pregnancy among people with an increased risk of overdose. RESULTS: Naloxone use during pregnancy was reported by <1% of the overall study population (unweighted N = 88/34,528). Prevalence of naloxone use was 5.0% (95% CI: 0.0-10.6) among respondents who reported illicit amphetamine use, 15.2% (1.8-28.6) among those who reported heroin use, and 17.6% (0.0-38.1) among those who reported cocaine use. Naloxone use was 14.5% (8.4-20.6) among those who reported taking MOUD. Among people with increased risk of overdose, no significant differences in naloxone use were observed by age, race/ethnicity, education level, residential metropolitan status, or insurance status. CONCLUSIONS: Prevalence of naloxone use among people with an increased risk of overdose during pregnancy ranged from 5.0% to 17.6%. Access to naloxone, overdose prevention education, and treatment for substance use disorders may help reduce morbidity and mortality. |

J Subst Use Addict Treat 2023 155 209083 INTRODUCTION: Screening for opioid misuse and treatment for opioid use disorder are critical for reducing morbidity and mortality. We sought to understand the extent of self-reported past 30-day buprenorphine use in various settings among women of reproductive age with self-reported nonmedical prescription opioid use being assessed for substance use problems. METHODS: The study collected data from individuals being assessed for substance use problems using the Addiction Severity Index-Multimedia Version in 2018-2020. We stratified the sample of 10,196 women ages 12-55 self-reporting past 30-day nonmedical prescription opioid use by buprenorphine use and setting type. We categorized setting types as: buprenorphine in specialty addiction treatment, buprenorphine in office-based opioid treatment, and diverted buprenorphine. We included each woman's first intake assessment during the study period. The study assessed number of buprenorphine products, reasons for using buprenorphine, and sources of buprenorphine procurement. The study calculated frequency of reasons for using buprenorphine to treat opioid use disorder outside of a doctor-managed treatment, overall and by race/ethnicity. RESULTS: Overall, 25.5 % of the sample used buprenorphine in specialty addiction treatment, 6.1 % used buprenorphine prescribed in office-based treatment, 21.7 % used diverted buprenorphine, and 46.7 % reported no buprenorphine use during the past 30 days. Among women who reported using buprenorphine to treat opioid use disorder, but not as part of a doctor-managed treatment, 72.3 % could not find a provider or get into a treatment program, 21.8 % did not want to be part of a program or see a provider, and 6.0 % reported both; a higher proportion of American Indian/Alaska Native women (92.1 %) reported that they could not find a provider or get into a treatment program versus non-Hispanic White (78.0 %), non-Hispanic Black (76.0 %), and Hispanic (75.0 %) women. CONCLUSIONS: Appropriate screening for nonmedical prescription opioid use to assess need for treatment with medication for opioid use disorder is important for all women of reproductive age. Our data highlight opportunities to improve treatment program accessibility and availability and support the need to increase equitable access for all women. |
Trends in alcohol use among pregnant women in the U.S., 2011-2018
Denny CH , Acero CS , Terplan M , Kim SY . Am J Prev Med 2020 59 (5) 768-769 Alcohol is a teratogen, a leading preventable cause of intellectual disability in the U.S., and the cause of fetal alcohol spectrum disorders.1 The prevalence of these disorders ranges from 1.1% to 5.0% among first graders in 4 U.S. communities.2 Alcohol use has been increasing among reproductive-aged women.3 This study investigates increased alcohol use during pregnancy using national data from 2011 to 2018. |
Obstetrician-gynecologists' practices and attitudes on substance use screening during pregnancy
Ko JY , Tong VT , Haight SC , Terplan M , Stark L , Snead C , Schulkin J . J Perinatol 2019 40 (3) 422-432 OBJECTIVE: To describe obstetrician-gynecologists' practices and attitudes related to substance use screening in pregnant patients. STUDY DESIGN: A 2017 cross-sectional survey assessed US obstetrician-gynecologists' (n = 462; response rate = 34%) practices (substance use screening frequency and methods) and attitudes (practice priority of screening, confidence in treating, and responsibility statements). Chi-squared tests and adjusted modified Poisson regression were used to estimate associations between practices and attitudes. RESULTS: Of 353 respondents with screening information, 79% frequently screen for substance use and 11% used a validated instrument. Confidence was the highest for treating pregnant patients using tobacco (81%). Respondents whose practices make it a high priority to screen for all substances were 1.2 times as likely to frequently screen as their counterparts (95% CI: 1.1-1.3). CONCLUSIONS: Four out of five obstetricians-gynecologists reported a high frequency of substance use screening in pregnant patients. Findings highlight the importance of increasing priority of substance use screening by obstetrician-gynecologists. |
Obstetrician-gynecologists' practice patterns related to opioid use during pregnancy and postpartum - United States, 2017
Ko JY , Tong VT , Haight SC , Terplan M , Snead C , Schulkin J . J Perinatol 2019 40 (3) 412-421 OBJECTIVE: To describe obstetrician-gynecologists' practices and attitudes related to opioid use among pregnant and postpartum women. STUDY DESIGN: A 2017 cross-sectional survey assessed U.S. obstetrician-gynecologists' (N = 462; response rate = 34%) practices (management) and attitudes (knowledge, preparedness, confidence, barriers, and resources needed) related to opioid use among pregnant and postpartum women. Modified Poisson regression determined adjusted prevalence ratios (aPR) for advising medication-assisted therapy (MAT) for pregnant women with opioid use disorder (OUD) by knowledge, confidence, and preparedness. RESULTS: Of respondents, 33% always or usually advised MAT to pregnant women with OUD. Confidence in treating pregnant women who use opioids (aPR: 1.3, 95% CI: 1.0-1.8) and knowledge that substance use services were covered under the Affordable Care Act (aPR: 1.4, 95% CI: 1.1-1.8) were associated with advising MAT. CONCLUSION: Evidence suggests that efforts are needed to enhance physician confidence to manage pregnant and postpartum patients who use opioids, which may increase optimal care of this patient population. |
The role of screening, brief intervention and referral to treatment (SBIRT) in the perinatal period
Wright TE , Terplan M , Ondersma SJ , Boyce C , Yonkers K , Chang G , Creanga AA . Am J Obstet Gynecol 2016 215 (5) 539-547 Substance use during pregnancy is at least as common as many of the medical conditions screened for and managed during pregnancy. While harmful and costly, it is often ignored or managed poorly. Screening, Brief Intervention and Referral to treatment (SBIRT) is an evidence-based approach to manage substance use. In September 2012, the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention convened an Expert Meeting on Perinatal Illicit Drug Abuse to help address key issues around drug use in pregnancy in the United States. This manuscript reflects the formal conclusions of the expert panel that discussed the use of SBIRT during pregnancy. Screening for substance use during pregnancy should be universal. It allows stratification of women into zones of risk given their pattern of use. Low-risk women should receive brief advice, those classified as moderate-risk should receive a brief intervention, whereas those who are high-risk need referral to specialty care. A brief intervention is a patient-centered form of counseling using the principles of motivational interviewing to SBIRT has the potential to reduce the burden of substance use in pregnancy and should be integrated into prenatal care. |
Clinical care for opioid-using pregnant and postpartum women: the role of obstetric providers
Jones HE , Deppen K , Hudak ML , Leffert L , McClelland C , Sahin L , Starer J , Terplan M , Thorp JM Jr , Walsh J , Creanga AA . Am J Obstet Gynecol 2014 210 (4) 302-10 We review clinical care issues that are related to illicit and therapeutic opioid use among pregnant women and women in the postpartum period and outline the major responsibilities of obstetrics providers who care for these patients during the antepartum, intrapartum, and postpartum periods. Selected patient treatment issues are highlighted, and case examples are provided. Securing a strong rapport and trust with these patients is crucial for success in delivering high-quality obstetric care and in coordinating services with other specialists as needed. Obstetrics providers have an ethical obligation to screen, assess, and provide brief interventions and referral to specialized treatment for patients with drug use disorders. Opioid-dependent pregnant women often can be treated effectively with methadone or buprenorphine. These medications are classified as pregnancy category C medications by the Food and Drug Administration, and their use in the treatment of opioid-dependent pregnant patients should not be considered "off-label." Except in rare special circumstances, medication-assisted withdrawal during pregnancy should be discouraged because of a high relapse rate. Acute pain management in this population deserves special consideration because patients who use opioids can be hypersensitive to pain and because the use of mixed opioid-agonist/antagonists can precipitate opioid withdrawal. In the absence of other indications, pregnant women who use opioids do not require more intense medical care than other pregnant patients to ensure adequate treatment and the best possible outcomes. Together with specialists in pain and addiction medicine, obstetricians can coordinate comprehensive care for pregnant women who use opioids and women who use opioids in the postpartum period. |
