Frequency and associated risk factors of non-fatal overdose reported by pregnant women with opioid use disorder.

CONCLUSIONS: In this sample, past year non-fatal overdose was common, younger age was a risk factor, and most participants had received a naloxone kit. Further work is needed to understand whether younger age is a risk factor in the general population of pregnant women with opioid use disorder and to identify other potential risk factors for overdose in this population.
