A Low-threshold Comprehensive Shared Medical Appointment Program for Perinatal Substance Use in an Underserved Population

Conclusions A low-threshold, comprehensive perinatal shared medical appointment program had high retention rates, increased access to evidence-based MOUD, and high rates of opioid-negative urine toxicology. Participants enrolled after wraparound services began had a lower hazard of disengagement. Future research in perinatal substance use should evaluate the most optimal and cost-effective components of comprehensive programs to inform standard of care.
