Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Ideal participants are University of Utah Hospital staff who directly interface with birthing individuals and can communicate in English.

Probably not a fit

Some providers may see minimal change in stigma or practice patterns despite training.

What this trial studies

INSPIRE delivers three modules including online SUD in birth training, an in-person simulation, and an empathy-building online module. The study uses a quasi-experimental design to measure changes in provider stigma over 6 months among up to 300 University of Utah healthcare team members who directly interact with birthing individuals. Assessments are taken at baseline, 1 month, 3 months, and 6 months. All participants receive the training, and outcomes focus on stigma scores analyzed with paired comparisons and mixed-effects models.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, INSPIRE could reduce provider stigma and improve person-centered care for birthing people with SUD.

How similar studies have gone: Previous studies suggest that targeted interprofessional training and simulations can reduce stigmatizing attitudes in clinical settings, supporting potential benefit here.
