Historically, research on opioid use during pregnancy has occurred in urban settings and it is unclear how urban and rural populations compare. We examined socio-demographic and other variables in opioid-using pregnant women seeking treatment and screened for participation in a multi-site randomized controlled trial. Women screened in rural Burlington, Vermont (n = 54), were compared to those screened in urban Baltimore, Maryland (n = 305). Rural opioid-using pregnant women appear to have some characteristics associated with better treatment outcomes (e.g., less severe drug use, greater employment). However, they may face additional barriers in accessing treatment (e.g., greater distance from treatment clinic).
从历史上看,关于孕期使用阿片类药物的研究多在城市环境中进行,目前尚不清楚城乡人口情况有何差异。我们对寻求治疗并被筛选纳入一项多中心随机对照试验的阿片类药物使用孕妇的社会人口统计学及其他变量进行了研究。将在佛蒙特州伯灵顿市农村地区筛选的女性(n = 54)与在马里兰州巴尔的摩市城市地区筛选的女性(n = 305)进行了比较。农村阿片类药物使用孕妇似乎具有一些与更好治疗结果相关的特征(例如,药物使用不太严重、就业情况更好)。然而,她们在获得治疗方面可能面临更多障碍(例如,距离治疗诊所更远)。
