Association of prenatal substance use with prenatal and postpartum care: Evidence from the Pregnancy Risk Assessment Monitoring System, 2016-2019.

ABSTRACT: The objective of this study was to build on existing qualitative research to estimate the association of prenatal substance use with prenatal and postpartum care. We used data from the 2016-2019 Pregnancy Risk Assessment Monitoring System for 9 states. We conducted adjusted linear regression to compare month of gestation of first prenatal visit and adjusted logistic regression to compare receipt of adequate prenatal care and a postpartum healthcare visit among women who reported prenatal use of any opioids, prescription opioids, marijuana, and illicit drugs to those who did not report use of each substance. Women who reported prenatal use of any opioids (Risk Difference(RD) = 0.16; 95% Confidence Interval (CI) = 0.04, 0.28), prescription opioids (RD = 0.16; 95% CI = 0.04, 0.28), marijuana (RD = 0.25; 95% CI = 0.10, 0.41) and illicit drugs (RD = 0.52; 95% CI = 0.09, 0.95) initiated prenatal care later than those who did not report use of each substance. Women who reported prenatal use of any opioid (Odds Ratio (OR) = 0.82; 95% CI = 0.68, 1.00), prescription opioids (OR = 0.84; 95% CI = 0.69, 1.02), marijuana (OR = 0.59; 95% CI = 0.48, 0.73) and illicit drugs (OR = 0.29; 95% CI = 0.20, 0.42) were less likely to receive adequate prenatal care. Women who reported prenatal use of any opioid (OR = 0.82, 95% CI = 0.65, 1.04), prescription opioids (OR = 0.83; 95% CI = 0.66, 1.05), marijuana (OR = 0.65; 95% CI = 0.51, 0.82) and illicit drugs (OR = 0.47; 95% CI = 0.30, 0.72) had a lower likelihood of a postpartum visit than those who did not report use of each substance. Results indicate potential intervention points for pregnant women who use substances.

Project description:BackgroundIn addition to its health and nutritional benefits, breastfeeding can save low-income, food insecure mothers the cost of infant formula so that money can be spent on food and other necessities. Yet breastfeeding may exacerbate food insecurity by negatively affecting maternal employment. The relationship between food insecurity and breastfeeding has been explored previously, with varying results. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between prenatal food insecurity and breastfeeding initiation and early cessation (< 10 weeks) among U.S. mothers.MethodsData were pooled from 2012 to 2013 (Phase 7) of the Pregnancy Risk Assessment Monitoring System, a population-based cross-sectional survey of postpartum women administered 2-4 months after delivery. The analytic sample was drawn from Colorado, Maine, New Mexico, Oregon, Pennsylvania, and Vermont, and limited to mothers aged 20 years and older whose infants were alive and living with them at the time of the survey (n = 10,159). We used binomial and multinomial logistic models to assess the predictive association between food insecurity and breastfeeding initiation and early cessation, respectively, while controlling for confounders.ResultsMost women reported prenatal food security (90.5%) and breastfeeding initiation (91.0%). Of those who initiated breastfeeding, 72.7% breastfed for > 10 weeks. A larger proportion of food secure women compared to food insecure women, initiated breastfeeding (91.4% vs. 87.6%, P < 0.01), and patterns of early breastfeeding cessation differed significantly between the two groups (P < 0.01). In the final models, prenatal food insecurity was not associated with breastfeeding initiation or early cessation, with one exception. Compared to food secure mothers, mothers reporting food insecurity had a lower risk of breastfeeding for 4-6 weeks than for > 10 weeks, independent of covariates (relative risk ratio 0.65; 95% CI 0.50, 0.85; P < 0.01). Women who were married, had a college degree, and did not smoke were more likely to initiate breastfeeding and breastfeed for a longer time, regardless of food security status (P < 0.01).ConclusionsSocioeconomic, psychosocial, and physiological factors explain the association between prenatal food insecurity and breastfeeding outcomes among this U.S.SampleMore targeted and effective interventions and policies are needed to encourage the initiation and duration of breastfeeding, regardless of food security status.

Project description:AimsWe aimed to determine the association between stressful life events (SLEs) in the year prior to childbirth with (1) pre-pregnancy cannabis use, (2) cessation of cannabis use during pregnancy and (3) postpartum relapse to cannabis use.DesignWe used data from the Pregnancy Risk Assessment Monitoring System (PRAMS) 2016, a cross-sectional, population-based surveillance system.SettingMailed and telephone surveys conducted in five states-Alaska, Colorado, Maine, Michigan and Washington-in the United States.ParticipantsWomen (n = 6061) who delivered a live infant within the last 6 months and had data on cannabis use.MeasurementsSelf-reported data included SLEs (yes/no response for 14 individual events in the 12 months prior to childbirth) and cannabis use [yes/no prior to pregnancy, during pregnancy, and at the time of the survey (approximately 2-6 months postpartum)]. The associations between SLEs and cannabis use (primary outcomes) were examined in logistic regression models adjusted for maternal demographics (e.g. age, race, education), geography (i.e. state of residence) and cigarette smoking.FindingsPre-pregnancy, 16.4% (997/6061) of respondents endorsed using cannabis, with 36.4% (363/997) continuing cannabis use during pregnancy. Among the 63.6% (634/997) who did not report use during pregnancy, 23.2% (147/634) relapsed to cannabis use during the postpartum. Nine of the 14 possible SLEs were associated with increased odds of pre-pregnancy cannabis use [e.g. husband/partner or mother went to jail, adjusted odds ratio (aOR) = 2.16, 95% confidence interval (CI) = 1.30-3.62] and four were associated with increased odds of continued cannabis use during pregnancy (e.g. husband/partner lost job, aOR = 2.19, 95% CI = 1.21-3.96). The odds of postpartum relapse to cannabis were significantly associated with two SLEs (husband/partner said they did not want pregnancy, aOR = 2.86, CI = 1.10-7.72; husband/partner or mother went to jail, aOR = 0.37, 95% CI = 0.13-1.00).ConclusionsStressful life events during the year prior to childbirth appear to be linked to greater odds of women's cannabis use during the perinatal period, especially during pre-pregnancy.

Project description:BackgroundThe status of care in the preconception and pregnancy periods in women who use substances can have an impact on maternal and neonatal health. This study aimed to assess the provision of preconception care, prenatal care, and postnatal mother-to-child bonding among pregnant women who use substances.MethodsAn ambidirectional cohort study was conducted, involving 69 pregnant women who reported substance use and had it confirmed using a ten-parameter panel kit (M10T) manufactured by Hannan Teb Pars Company. These women were selected from a referral maternity hospital between January and December 2020, using a convenience sampling method. Sociodemographic information, obstetric and medical history, and information about preconception and prenatal care were collected. All maternal and neonatal outcomes were recorded from the time of admission to the time of discharge for both the mothers and their neonates. Neonatal abstinence syndrome and mother-to-child bonding were assessed using modified Finnegan's neonatal abstinence tool and a postpartum bonding questionnaire, respectively. The data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential tests using SPSS software version 22.ResultThe mean age of the women was 32.8 ± 5.7 years. The mean duration of substance use was 5.1 ± 3.5 years. 48% of the pregnancies were reported as unwanted. A total of 94.2% and 50.7% of pregnant women did not receive preconception care and prenatal care, respectively. There was no association between pregnancy wantedness and receiving preconception care (P = 0.287), but a significant association was observed for prenatal care (P < 0.001). 31% of the mothers experienced a mother-to-child bonding disorder, with 75% of those who had unwanted pregnancies reporting such a disorder.ConclusionThe findings of this study indicate that the majority of pregnant women who use substances did not receive preconception care, and prenatal care was inadequate with fewer visits than recommended. One-third of the pregnant women who use substances experienced a mother-to-child bonding disorder. It was also observed that women with unwanted pregnancies had poorer perinatal care and mother-to-child bonding.
