Summary

Nearly 9 of every 10 pregnant opioid-dependent women report that the current pregnancy was unintended and the majority of non-pregnant opioid-maintained women do not use contraception or use less effective methods like condoms. This proposal aims to further test a novel contraceptive management program to increase use of more effective contraceptives among opioid-maintained women at risk of unintended pregnancy.
