Study Population

Healthcare workers may include Specialist Midwives, Obstetricians, Substance Misuse Charge Nurses, Neonatologists and Health Visitors. Women using substances are defined as those who are being seen at the clinic (either due to self-referral, or due to referral by a healthcare worker), at any time during their pregnancy. I have personal experience of working in this clinic, which is run in an NHS hospital on the South Coast of the UK.

You may qualify if:

• Healthcare workers will be recruited based on their employment status; they must currently provide some form of antenatal are for women who engage in problematic use of substances (limited to illicit drugs, excluding tobacco and alcohol).
• Healthcare workers will not be restricted by age, and all genders will be included. As the research is qualitative, a representative same is unnecessary.

You may not qualify if:

• Healthcare workers will be excluded if they do not have experience of providing ante-natal care for women who engage in problematic substance misuse (limited to illicit drugs, excluding tobacco and alcohol) during their pregnancy.
