这项研究的目的是探索使用国家实施研究网络六边形讨论和分析工具在注射器交换项目中提供自愿怀孕筛查的可行性。我们在女性注射器更换客户中进行了一项调查，评估了如果她们接受了阳性怀孕筛查，她们在育儿和进入治疗方面的感知需求、价值观和行为意图，并在员工和核心志愿者中进行了调查，以评估组织适合性、能力和需要的支持。参与者和工作人员报告说，在更换注射器时需要进行怀孕筛查，需要扩大能力以提供服务。在更换注射器时进行妊娠筛查有可能导致早期发现怀孕。在注射毒品的妇女中及早发现怀孕可能会改善产前护理，包括药物使用治疗和传染病的治疗，否则不太可能接受产前护理的妇女。
The purpose of this study was to explore the feasibility of offering voluntary pregnancy screening at syringe exchange programs using the National Implementation Research Network Hexagon Discussion and Analysis Tool. We conducted a survey among female syringe exchange clients that assessed perceived needs, values, and behavioral intentions for parenting and entering treatment if they received a positive pregnancy screen and surveys among staff and core volunteers to assess organizational fit, capacity, and needed supports. Participants and staff reported that pregnancy screening was needed at syringe exchange and that capacity needs to be expanded to provide services. Pregnancy screening at syringe exchanges holds the potential to lead to early detection of pregnancy. Early detection of pregnancy among women who inject drugs may result in improved prenatal care, including substance use treatment and treatment of infectious diseases, for women who would otherwise be unlikely to receive prenatal care.
