PATHS Project: Reel #2: Medication for Opioid Use Disorder (MOUD) and Pregnancy

Did you know that it is safe and recommended to take medication for opioid use disorder (MOUD) during pregnancy? Meet Sami, a mother in recovery with opioid use disorder, who explains how people who start or continue MOUD treatment during pregnancy are more likely to give birth to full-term, healthy babies.

The PATHS campaign was developed by the National Institute on Drug Abuse Clinical Trials Network Dissemination Initiative (NIDA CTN DI) in partnership with the CTN-0080-A-3 research team.
