An Intervention Mapping Approach to Closing the Gap in Maternal OUD and Infant NAS Care (SUPPORT)
Sponsor: University of Pennsylvania
Summary
The purpose of this study is to address the gap in maternal OUD treatment and infant neonatal opioid withdrawal syndrome care. The research team will develop a treatment model and a set of strategies to provide evidence-based OUD treatment to postpartum mothers in NICUs. First, the investigators will conduct a needs assessment via in-depth qualitative interviews with NICU mothers and clinicians. Then, with the expertise of the advisory board, the the researchers will create a protocol for implementing maternal OUD treatment at the NICU bedside. The researchers will then implement the protocol in two partner NICUs and evaluate the acceptability and feasibility to patients, providers, and clinical, and administrative leaders. The goal of this research study is to integrate maternal mental health and substance abuse treatment in pediatric settings and to refine, test, and examine the acceptability and feasibility of applying the adapted model.

Interventions
An implementation model for co-located Medications for Opioid Use Disorder (MOUD) prescription in the NICU
We will use implementation mapping to develop a suite of implementation strategies to deliver evidence-based MOUD prescription to mothers attending the bedside of their infants hospitalized in the NICU. The intervention itself is buprenorphine induction and treatment, however the model for delivery is not yet developed, consistent with the need for results from Aim 1 to inform the approach used to develop the implementation model in Aim 2.
