Brief Summary:
Nearly 9 of every 10 pregnant opioid-dependent women report that the current pregnancy was unintended and the majority of non-pregnant opioid-maintained women do not use contraception or use less effective methods like condoms. This proposal aims to further test a novel contraceptive management program to increase use of more effective contraceptives among opioid-maintained women at risk of unintended pregnancy.
Detailed Description:
The rate of unintended pregnancy among opioid-dependent women is extremely high: nearly 9 of every 10 pregnant opioid-dependent women report that the current pregnancy was unintended, a rate 2-3 times that of the general population. Despite these dire statistics, there is a dearth of scientific knowledge about contraceptive use in this population and about how to promote use of more effective contraceptives (e.g., birth control pills, intrauterine devices (IUDs), implants).
The aim of this Stage II Behavioral and Integrative Treatment Development Program application is to further test a novel contraceptive management program to increase use of more effective contraceptives among opioid-maintained (OM) women. OM women at risk for unintended pregnancy (N=195) will be randomly assigned to one of three conditions: (1) usual care, (2) the World Health Organization (WHO) contraception protocol, and (3) the WHO contraception protocol + financial incentives. Participants in the usual care condition will receive a referral to local contraceptive providers. Participants in the WHO alone condition will receive the WHO contraceptive initiation protocol and their choice of prescription contraceptive in consultation with a nurse practitioner. These participants will also subsequently be offered the opportunity to attend 13 follow-up visits where vital signs and a urine pregnancy test will be administered. Side effects of any prescription contraception will also be assessed and participants will have the option to change their prescription contraceptive method at any time. Participants in the WHO + incentives condition will also receive the WHO contraceptive initiation protocol and their choice of prescription contraceptive in consultation with a nurse practitioner. These participants will also subsequently be offered the opportunity to attend 13 follow-up visits where vital signs and a urine pregnancy test will be administered. Side effects of any prescription contraception will be assessed and participants will have the option to change their prescription contraceptive method at any time. Participants in the WHO + incentives condition participants will also earn vouchers exchangeable for goods and services for attending these visits. Contraceptive use by all participants will be evaluated at assessments scheduled 1, 3, 6, and 12 months after trial intake.
