This one-hour, on-demand, journal article-based activity presents original research on the prescribing of medications for alcohol use disorder (MAUD) among birthing people with an alcohol-related diagnosis. Although safety and effectiveness of medications for alcohol use disorder (MAUD) are generally well established for adults, the literature on its use in pregnancy is limited. To better understand the benefit and risks of medications for AUD in pregnancy, this study offers an analysis of insurance claim data to estimate the prevalence of birthing people currently receiving prescriptions for medications for alcohol use disorder.

This one-hour, on-demand, journal article-based activity presents original, qualitative research on development of collaborations between community-based health care providers and those who work with patients in carceral settings to ensure continuity of MOUD upon release. Though recognized as critical, little guidance is available about developing this kind of collaboration.
