Interventions

• SBIRT Intervention — BEHAVIORAL
  Project IMPACT intervention will follow a Screening, Brief Intervention, and Referral to Treatment (SBIRT) Model. In the proposed study, staff at community sites will deliver a tailored SBIRT model for people seeking to get pregnant as our "Project IMPACT intervention". SBIRT was originally developed as a public health model designed to provide universal screening, secondary prevention (detecting risky or hazardous substance use before the onset of abuse or dependence), early intervention, and treatment for people who have problematic or hazardous alcohol problems within primary care and other health care settings. Morehouse School of Medicine (MSM) has adapted this SBIRT model for people who are seeking to get pregnant to assess their risks and provide early intervention to at-risk people of reproductive age who want to get pregnant. Brief preconception counseling interventions addressing multiple behavioral risk factors have been found to be effective in prior studies.

Study Details

With support from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute, The Center for Maternal Health Equity at Morehouse School of Medicine is conducting a research study to test the implementation of Pre-Pregnancy Counseling in community-based settings.
