Objective: The purpose of this study is to validate the 4P's Plus screen for substance use in pregnancy.Study Design: A total of 228 pregnant women enrolled in prenatal care underwent screening with the 4P's Plus and received a follow-up clinical assessment for substance use. Statistical analyses regarding reliability, sensitivity, specificity, and positive and negative predictive validity of the 4Ps Plus were conducted.Result: The overall reliability for the five-item measure was 0.62. Seventy-four ( 32.5%) of the women had a positive screen. Sensitivity and specificity were very good, at 87 and 76%, respectively. Positive predictive validity was low ( 36%), but negative predictive validity was quite high ( 97%). Of the 31 women who had a positive clinical assessment, 45% were using less than 1 day per week.Conclusion: The 4P's Plus reliably and effectively screens pregnant women for risk of substance use, including those women typically missed by other perinatal screening methodologies.
