OBJECTIVES/GOALS: The purpose of this study is to determine critical recovery support factors (SDOH, postpartum and post-discharge continuity of care), to optimize continuity of recovery and to determine the best intervention among postpartum and parenting women for treatment retention. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: Through a mixed methods approach, we will review retrospective hospital discharge data to identify hospital-based gaps in treatment. We will conduct key informant interviews with postpartum women, treatment providers and stakeholders to broaden understanding of critical recovery factors from lived experiences and test a parent-centered evidence-based intervention for a comprehensive and targeted approach to recovery. RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: This research will lead to new understanding of critical maternal recovery support factors for sustaining treatment retention for 6-12 months after childbirth and to improve long term maternal health outcomes. DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE: The recovery journey and postpartum period are challenging and lack specific recovery support evidence. Recovery support and continuity of care protocols are unclear after childbirth. Maternal opioid-related overdose deaths occur 6-12 months after childbirth. Therefore, this study will impact and inform recovery retention strategies.
