Strengthening the System Supporting Perinatal People with Substance Use Disorder in the Midwest Using Group Model Building.

Introduction: Providing comprehensive, evidence-based care to perinatal people with substance use disorders (SUD) requires multi-stakeholder collaboration and alignment. The National Maternal and Child Health Workforce Development Center facilitated a system-strengthening process with the Midwest substance use in pregnancy (SUPper) club, a regional collaborative of health care providers, state public health agencies, and community-rooted organizations.

Methods: Facilitators led a 2 day group model building (GMB) workshop with 20 participants and two semi-structured interviews.
