Personally-tailored opioid-overdose and medication for opioid use disorder (MOUD) education (TOME) significantly increases MOUD and overdose knowledge in peripartum individuals: Results from a randomized controlled pilot trial.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Overdose is a leading cause of pregnancy-associated mortality in the US. Our personally-tailored opioid-overdose (OOD) and medication for opioid use disorder (MOUD) education intervention has been shown to significantly improve MOUD/OOD knowledge in out-of-treatment persons using illicit opioids. We evaluated the ability of the intervention modified for peripartum (pregnant or within one year postpartum) individuals, the personally-tailored OOD and MOUD education (TOME) intervention, to increase MOUD (primary) and OOD (key secondary) knowledge.

Methods

A six-site, two-arm, open-label, trial with 131 peripartum individuals receiving MOUD (methadone or buprenorphine) randomized to TOME, a 15-minute, computer-facilitated, individually-tailored intervention, or Contro
