Programs and practices that support pregnant people who use drugs' access to sexual and reproductive health care in Canada: a scoping review.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Pregnant people who use unregulated drugs (PPWUD) are at high risk of health complications yet experience a range of barriers to sexual and reproductive health care. Given that improving maternal health and access to reproductive health care are key targets underpinning the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG), there is an urgent need to improve access to appropriate supports and services for this population. Little is known about what programs and practices exist to support PPWUD's access to sexual and reproductive health care. This scoping review aimed to identify the available literature on these programs and practices in Canada.

Methods

A scoping review was conducted using JBI methodology and reported using PRISMA guidelines. Scholarly databases and grey litera
