range of healthcare professionals in the safe and
effective prescribing of opioid medications for the
treatment of pain, as well as the treatment of
substance use disorders, particularly opioid use
disorders, with medication-assisted treatments.

Prevalence of Prenatal Substance Use
• Legal substances are the most problematic in terms
of effect and magnitude
▪ Alcohol (18% in the first trimester)
▪ Cigarettes (15.4%)
▪ Prescription opiates (<2.5%*)
• Illicit substances are less common and less
problematic (5.4%)
▪ Marijuana, Cocaine, Heroin

Identification of Prenatal
Substance Use
![Page 19: Innovative Methods for Addressing Substance Use …...1 Innovative Methods for Addressing Substance Use in Pregnancy Grace Chang, MD, MPH Professor of Psychiatry, Harvard Medical School](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022013010/5f0a53927e708231d42b1b2e/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
19
Some Challenges
• Patients are reluctant to disclose alcohol or other
substance use
▪ Fear of stigma or sanction
• Biological tests of exposure
▪ Urine, hair, breath
▪ Need informed consent
• Limitations of biological tests
▪ Measure recent exposure (alcohol)
▪ None clearly superior
![Page 20: Innovative Methods for Addressing Substance Use …...1 Innovative Methods for Addressing Substance Use in Pregnancy Grace Chang, MD, MPH Professor of Psychiatry, Harvard Medical School](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022013010/5f0a53927e708231d42b1b2e/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
20
Questionnaires
• Offer many advantages
▪ Quick, inexpensive
▪ Well studied for prenatal alcohol exposure
• Major disadvantage
▪ Lack a validated measure that reflects current
patterns of use, including multiple substances

A RCT of Screening and Brief Interventions
for Substance Misuse in Reproductive
Health
Martino, Ondersma, Forray, et al., 2018
![Page 48: Innovative Methods for Addressing Substance Use …...1 Innovative Methods for Addressing Substance Use in Pregnancy Grace Chang, MD, MPH Professor of Psychiatry, Harvard Medical School](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022013010/5f0a53927e708231d42b1b2e/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
48
Purpose
• To determine whether “screening, brief intervention,
and referral to treatment” that is delivered either
electronically or by clinician are more effective than
enhanced usual care in decreasing days of primary
substance use
![Page 49: Innovative Methods for Addressing Substance Use …...1 Innovative Methods for Addressing Substance Use in Pregnancy Grace Chang, MD, MPH Professor of Psychiatry, Harvard Medical School](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022013010/5f0a53927e708231d42b1b2e/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
49
Study Design
• Women from 2 reproductive centers who smoked cigarettes or misused alcohol, illicit drugs, or prescription medications
▪ Urn randomization to one of 3 conditions:
▪ 1) E-SBIRT
▪ 2) Clinician delivered SBIRT
▪ 3)Educational pamphlet + treatment as usual
• Assessments completed at baseline, 1-, 3-, and 6-months after the baseline
• Co-primary outcomes
▪ Days/months of primary substance use
▪ Post intervention treatment use

![Page 51: Innovative Methods for Addressing Substance Use …...1 Innovative Methods for Addressing Substance Use in Pregnancy Grace Chang, MD, MPH Professor of Psychiatry, Harvard Medical School](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022013010/5f0a53927e708231d42b1b2e/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
51
Mean Days of Substance Use by
Treatment Group
• E-SBIRT and SBIRT significantly reduced days of primary substance use of Enhanced TAU
• No interaction for pregnancy status, response similar
• At 3 months: 4 (E-TAU) vs. 7 (ESBIRT) vs. 6.3 (SBIRT)
• Differences attenuated at 6 months
![Page 52: Innovative Methods for Addressing Substance Use …...1 Innovative Methods for Addressing Substance Use in Pregnancy Grace Chang, MD, MPH Professor of Psychiatry, Harvard Medical School](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022013010/5f0a53927e708231d42b1b2e/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
52
Treatment Seeking
• 121 women (27.6%) used substance use treatment
or self help programs after SBIRT
• Half of the services sought were for smoking
cessation
• Study treatment group had no impact on substance
use treatment seeking afterwards
![Page 53: Innovative Methods for Addressing Substance Use …...1 Innovative Methods for Addressing Substance Use in Pregnancy Grace Chang, MD, MPH Professor of Psychiatry, Harvard Medical School](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022013010/5f0a53927e708231d42b1b2e/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)
53
Conclusions

of primary substance use compared with enhanced
TAU
▪ Mode of delivery did not appear to affect
outcomes
• No interaction for pregnancy status
• Most effect at 3 months follow up
• No impact on Substance Use Treatment seeking

63
Buprenorphine
• Informed consent about lack of longitudinal data
• Advantages
▪ Lower risk of overdose
▪ Fewer drug interactions
▪ Outpatient basis
▪ Evidence of less severe neonatal abstinence syndrome
• Disadvantages
▪ Hepatic dysfunction
▪ No long-term data about infant and child effects
▪ Clinically important drop out rate
▪ More difficult induction, risk of precipitated withdrawal
▪ Increased risk of diversion
![Page 64: Innovative Methods for Addressing Substance Use …...1 Innovative Methods for Addressing Substance Use in Pregnancy Grace Chang, MD, MPH Professor of Psychiatry, Harvard Medical School](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022013010/5f0a53927e708231d42b1b2e/html5/thumbnails/64.jpg)
64
Buprenorphine
• Single agent product recommended
▪ Same dose for mono-product if switching
• Monitor for diversion
• Inappropriate for patients needing more intensive
structure and supervision
![Page 65: Innovative Methods for Addressing Substance Use …...1 Innovative Methods for Addressing Substance Use in Pregnancy Grace Chang, MD, MPH Professor of Psychiatry, Harvard Medical School](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022013010/5f0a53927e708231d42b1b2e/html5/thumbnails/65.jpg)
65
Buprenorphine vs. Methadone
• Indications for buprenorphine are in flux
▪ Past: refuses/unable to take methadone,
methadone unavailable
▪ Current: prefers to methadone, gives informed
consent, capable of adherence and safe
administration, understands potential of adverse
long-term outcomes
• Transition from methadone to buprenorphine is not
recommended
