Introductory Paragraph

Early identification of substance use allows for early intervention and treatment which minimizes potential harms to the mother and her pregnancy. [1] Selective screening based on “risk factors” perpetuates stigma and misses most women with problematic use. [2]

This article builds upon information provided in the SAFE Solutions article titled "Expand SBIRT Program." [3]

Key Information

The goals of SBIRT are directly applicable to the use in maternity care and include: [4]

  • Educate people about the risks of alcohol and other drugs
  • Make people aware of their use and whether it may be creating health risks for them
  • Decrease general use so as to reduce the societal risk and burden of the effects of overuse
  • Identify individuals who have dependence and provide rapid access to care

Relevant Research

This study showed that real-time ultrasound feedback focused on the potential effects of smoking on the fetus may be an effective treatment adjunct to improve smoking outcomes.[5] This could be adapted and used to treat women with other types of SUDs as well.

This SAFE Project program, offered in-person and virtually, guides community leaders through an action-oriented model to systemically integrate prevention and recovery systems to strengthen programs and improve outcomes. BPR is a 3.5 day training program that culminates with 6 technical assistance sessions tailored to each community’s unique set of needs to support implementation and sustainability of joint prevention and recovery community projects.[6]
  • See the wiki titled "Expand SBIRT Program" for more detailed information on the Screening, Brief Intervention, and Referral to Treatment (SBIRT) tool used as an prevention/early intervention method at screening for substance misuse in the general population.[7]

Additional Tools & Resources:

  • New England’s SBIRT-based Prenatal Screening Outline. This provides recommended tools, how to align them with SBIRT, a process map, examples, billing/coding guides, brief intervention guide, and treatment referral plan. [8]

Promising Practices

  • Medical students. A study in an obstetrics and gynecology rotation documented the benefits of placing students in a residential treatment center for pregnant women. The results of their specialized training showed improvements in assessing and educating patients about substance abuse during pregnancy compared to those in a regular rotation. [9]
