AB - Birthing people with opioid use disorder (OUD) face unique stressors during the transition from pregnancy to postpartum that can negatively impact the maternal-infant dyad. This study aimed to describe the development of a family-centered, technology-delivered intervention tailored to help pregnant people receiving medication for OUD (MOUD) prepare for this transition. Formative data from patients and providers identified intervention content: (1) recovery-oriented strategies for the pregnancy-to-postpartum transition; (2) guidance around caring for an infant with opioid withdrawal symptoms; and (3) preparation for child welfare interactions. The content was reviewed in successive rounds by an expert panel and modified. Pregnant and postpartum people receiving MOUD pre-tested the intervention modules and provided feedback in semi-structured interviews. The multidisciplinary expert panel members (n = 15) identified strengths and areas for improvement. Primary areas for improvement included adding content, providing more structure to help participants navigate the intervention more easily, and revising language. Pre-testing participants (n = 9) highlighted four themes: reactions to intervention content, navigability of the intervention, feasibility of the intervention, and recommendation of the intervention. All iterative feedback was incorporated into the final intervention modules for the prospective randomized clinical trial. Family-centered interventions tailored for pregnant people receiving MOUD should be informed by patient-reported needs and multidisciplinary perspectives.
