Pregnancy Related Clinical Trial
Official title:
Implementation of a Patient-centered, Reproductive Planning Decision Support Tool (MyPath) Among Women With Substance Use Disorder in the Immediate Postpartum Period
This is a study to determine the effect of a novel patient-centered, reproductive planning decision support tool developed by the research team called MyPath on postpartum contraceptive decision-making among women with SUDs.
The reproductive health needs of women with substance use disorders (SUDs) are unmet. Over 80% of pregnancies among women with SUDs are unintended, compared to 45% of the general population, and over 20% of women with SUDs have had a short interpregnancy interval (i.e. ≤ 18 months after a previous birth). Adverse reproductive health outcomes are perpetuated by contraceptive decisions that are inconsistent with women's reproductive goals. In an evaluation of women in opioid use disorder (OUD) treatment, only half of sexually active women not wanting to get pregnant used contraception, with condoms the most frequent method used. Pregnancy is a unique opportunity to address contraceptive needs due to increased healthcare access and expanded Medicaid eligibility, increased access to highly effective methods such as long-acting reversible contraception (LARC) and enhanced motivation to avoid rapid, repeat pregnancy. Despite this, over 75% of women with OUD do not use postpartum contraception and less than 2% receive LARC. Currently, there are no effective strategies to improve postpartum contraceptive decision-making for women with SUDs. As an initial step to address this gap, the investigators conducted an observational study of postpartum contraceptive choices among 194 women with OUD at our maternity hospital (Plan NOW). Per usual care, women were provided with information about all contraceptive options, consistent with "information-based" counseling, and access to all methods including immediate postpartum LARC. Several findings informed this proposal. First, women's postpartum contraceptive decisions were often inconsistent with their childbearing goals. Among women who did not want another child, 36% did not choose a highly effective method and 10% had a repeat pregnancy within one year. Second, women had limited contraceptive knowledge and frequent misconceptions about their fertility and vulnerability to pregnancy. Third, women's decisional autonomy regarding sex and contraception was often threatened due to ongoing illicit drug use and reproductive coercion by partners. Fourth, women who wanted another baby did not feel supported and often felt pressured to choose a highly effective method. Therefore, failure to frame contraceptive decisions within the larger reproductive health context of women with OUD was a major barrier to high quality decision-making. The goal of this research is to help women with SUDs make informed decisions about their reproductive health that align with their preferences, values and reproductive goals. Our objective in this application is to determine the effect of a novel patient-centered, reproductive planning decision support tool developed by the research team called MyPath on postpartum contraceptive decision-making among women with SUDs. Designed to facilitate high-quality decisions regarding pregnancy and contraception, MyPath helps women a) review their thoughts about pregnancy and children, b) learn about fertility and preconception health and c) prioritize their preferences for various contraceptive method characteristics (e.g. effectiveness, side effects). As such, MyPath uses a patient-centered approach to help women frame their contraceptive decisions in the context of their goals and health and is a critical first step towards addressing reproductive health inequities among women with SUDs. Our overarching hypothesis is that patient-centered, reproductive planning decision support will facilitate high quality decision-making and thus improve postpartum contraceptive utilization and reproductive health outcomes among women with SUDs. To test this hypothesis, the investigators propose a hybrid type 1 effectiveness-implementation randomized controlled trial, guided by the following aims: Aim 1: Assess the effect of patient-centered, reproductive planning decision support (MyPath) on postpartum contraceptive utilization and reproductive health outcomes among women with SUDs Aim 2: Determine if the relationship between MyPath and contraceptive utilization is mediated by decision quality. Decision quality will be measured using four patient-centered components of decision-making: knowledge, values concordance, decisional conflict and involvement. The investigators hypothesize that improvements in decision quality will mediate the relationship between MyPath and contraceptive utilization. Aim 3: Identify barriers and facilitators to integrating MyPath into routine postpartum clinical care. The investigators will gather process evaluation data during the randomized controlled trial (RCT) and conduct qualitative interviews with key patient, provider and health system stakeholders to identify potential barriers and facilitators to future implementation in maternity settings and routine postpartum clinical care, if MyPath is found to be effective. ;
