NCT ID: NCT04584502

Last Updated: 2025-07-31

Results Overview

We were not able to obtain clinical record data from partner settings due to high staff demand and considerable stress at partner settings due to the impact of COVID-19 pandemic. Data regarding retention in medication treatment was obtained via self-report in assessment surveys.

Participant Flow

Significant recruitment challenges due to narrow eligibility (buprenorphine received in maternity care setting) and COVID restrictions. Recruitment ran from April 2022 to July 2023, after institutional and funder approvals were finally obtained for the revised protocol to use a virtual intervention delivery format. Recruitment occurred through partner maternity care settings primarily with flyers placed in high patient traffic areas and clinician distribution of study materials to patients.

One participant enrolled but could not be contacted to complete baseline assessment.
