Improving Effective Contraceptive Use Among Opioid-maintained Women
In Brief
A Phase 1 clinical trial evaluating Contraceptive management program and Usual care for Contraceptive Usage and Opioid Dependence. Completed, enrolled 31 participants across 1 site.
Detailed 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 develop and test a novel contraceptive management program to increase use of more effective contraceptives among opioid-maintained women and to examine the impact of more effective contraceptive use on condom use. The proposed research may reduce unintended pregnancy among opioid-dependent women without increasing their risk of sexually transmitted infections and the knowledge gained will also have implications for addressing high rates of unintended pregnancy in the general population.

Timeline
Interventions
The contraceptive management program will consist of two components: (1) the World Health Organization's contraception protocol and (2) reinforced follow-up visits.
The usual care condition will be given general information about contraceptive options and contact information for clinics and providers that provide contraceptive services.
