Summary
This study tests a training program called INSPIRE designed for healthcare teams caring for people with substance use disorder during childbirth. The program includes online learning and in-person simulations. Researchers want to see if the training changes healthcare providers' attitudes and behaviors toward these patients. About 300 staff at the University of Utah Hospital will take part.
