- Study HIC#:2000027031
- Last Updated:01/30/2024
Project SMART (Support Models for Addiction Related Treatment) is a study that compares two models to support for obstetricians in treating pregnant and postpartum women who have an Opioid Use Disorder (OUD). Project SMART works with obstetric providers so that women who are pregnant and have OUD can receive treatment for opioid use and prenatal care together.

Trial Purpose and Description
The investigators are proposing a cluster randomized clinical trial to compare the effectiveness of two models of support for reproductive health clinicians to provide care for pregnant and postpartum women with an OUD: 1) a collaborative care (CC) approach based upon the Massachusetts Office-Based-Opioid Treatment (OBOT) Model that would provide onsite training, and support to providers and participants through the use of care managers (CMs) vs 2) a telesupport approach modeled on the Project Extension for Community Healthcare Outcomes (ECHO), a remote education model that provides mentorship and guided practice and participation in a learning community, via video conferencing.
