ABSTRACT
Background:
Substance use disorders (SUD) and mental health conditions are often comorbid and highly prevalent in pregnancy and postpartum.
Objective:
We tested the feasibility of a brief behavioral intervention, Promoting Healthy Families (PHF), delivered within a case management program Parent Child Assistance Program (PCAP), for pregnant and parenting individuals with SUD.
Methods:
Eligible clients were assigned to either PCAP alone (control) or to PHF in PCAP (intervention). We assessed feasibility using an anonymous survey, and preliminary effectiveness using Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9), Generalized Anxiety Disorder Assessment-7 (GAD-7) and PTSD checklist (PCL-6) at baseline and four, six and twelve months.
Results:
PCAP CMs reported that it was feasible to deliver the PHF intervention to their clients. The trial was not powered to assess effectiveness.
Conclusions:
It is feasible to deliver PHF to clients enrolled in a case management program for SUD in pregnancy or postpartum. Further studies are needed to assess effectiveness.
