Data were derived from the Dutch national database, Perined, complemented with data from questionnaires completed by pregnant women. A stepwise-wedge design was employed; multilevel intention-to-treat analyses and propensity score matching were the main analytic approaches. Propensity score matching resulted in sample sizes of 305 nulliparous women in both the individual care (IC) and the matched control group (control-IC) and 267 in the CP and control-CP groups. For multiparous women, 354 matches were found for IC and control-IC groups and 152 for CP and control-CP groups.

The Colorado Perinatal Care Quality Collaborative led a 3-pronged intervention to address these challenges and improve perinatal care. The first intervention, the Colorado Alliance for Innovation on Maternal Health Substance Use Disorder quality improvement initiative, partnered with birthing hospitals statewide to institute universal screening and timely referral for individuals at risk of substance use disorder (SUD) and perinatal mood and anxiety disorders. The second intervention, the Improve Perinatal Access, Coordination, and Treatment for Behavioral Health initiative, established a perinatal support network within communities. This program assists individuals with SUD, perinatal mood and anxiety disorders, or social needs to navigate the perinatal period. The third intervention, the Colorado Maternal Overdose Matters Plus program, has enhanced in-hospital access to pharmacotherapy for pregnant and postpartum individuals with SUD through training and technical support.

This is especially true for the majority of community and direct entry midwives in the United States who have historically been unable to legally provide effective contraceptive methods. Recently, licensed midwives in Washington state were the first in the nation to achieve prescriptive authority, enabling their clients to directly obtain contraception and access to medications for common prenatal and postpartum conditions. Sustained advocacy efforts in the state's capitol enabled the Midwives’ Association of Washington State to build relationships over time with legislators and government agencies to achieve this long-term goal. We present a successful midwifery-led innovation that achieved scope expansion for licensed midwives whose practice authority was limited by restrictive laws. Lessons learned are described and strategies offered to aid midwives and their advocates in other locales who want to improve health equity and access to contraception.
