MOUD Brown Bag: Addressing the Stigma of Opioid Use Disorder in Pregnancy 

Treating maternal opioid use disorder (MOUD) in pregnant women requires integration of provider, patient, and health system needs and fostering collaboration among intersecting disciplines for comprehensive management of pregnant and parenting women, often beyond the skillset of any one health care provider.

Stigma has been identified as a patient-specific barrier to treatment. Stigma from health care providers can result in treatment delays and lack of adherence and program retention. Presenters aim to improve understanding of perceived stigma and to identify interdisciplinary strategies for managing patients with maternal opioid use disorder. 

Registration is offered at no cost thanks to funding from the University of Maryland, Baltimore Center for Interprofessional Education.

Attendees are encouraged to bring their own lunch.
