Summary

This study tested a web-based toolkit called MOM CARE designed to help jail staff provide better care for pregnant people with opioid use disorder. The toolkit includes medical guidance and best practices from intake to release. Researchers worked with 22 jail staff members to see if the tool was easy to use and improved their readiness to provide care. The study also gathered feedback from pregnant people in custody about their experiences.
