Computer interviews effectively screen pregnant patients for substance abuse and behavioral risks. This validated method improves data collection for better pregnancy outcomes.

Area of Science:

  • Obstetrics and Gynecology
  • Behavioral Science
  • Digital Health

Background:

  • Substance abuse and behavioral risk factors in pregnant patients are linked to adverse pregnancy outcomes.
  • Traditional screening methods may not fully capture these sensitive behavioral data.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the acceptability and validity of a patient-interactive computerized assessment program for collecting behavioral risk data in pregnant patients.
  • To determine if computer interviews can improve the identification of risk factors compared to standard record review.

Main Methods:

  • A cohort of 265 pregnant women completed a computer-based interview.
  • Computer-generated reports on substance use and physical abuse were compared with prenatal medical records.
  • Urine drug screens were used to validate self-reported substance use from the computer interview.

Main Results:

  • Over 95% of participants found the computer interview favorable.
  • Significantly higher rates of reported drug use and physical abuse were identified via computer interview versus medical records.
  • Urine drug screens confirmed a high concordance with self-reported substance use.

Conclusions:

  • The computerized assessment is well-received by pregnant patients.
  • This digital tool provides valid data on behavioral risk factors, aiding in the prevention of adverse pregnancy outcomes.
