The Arizona Health Care Cost Containment System (AHCCCS), in collaboration with Arizona State University (ASU), launched a project to address the medication for opioid use disorder (MOUD) treatment disparities for Pregnant and Parenting Women (PPW) with Opioid Use Disorder (OUD). This initiative focused on developing a comprehensive mapping system to capture and illustrate a wide range of clinic, geographic, and demographic data, offering a detailed view of treatment availability and needs across Arizona. We created a unique composite risk score to measure the community-level risk for future opioid overdoses. The maps show MOUD treatment location for providers with or without PPW expertise. In addition, one map shows location of primary care clinics with integrated behavioral healthcare.
