This webinar featured two PCORI-funded Engagement Award projects that have focused on engaging mothers with substance use disorders (SUDs) in areas such as addressing COVID-19 and increasing stakeholder capacity to participate in patient-centered outcomes research/comparative clinical effectiveness research (PCOR/CER).

Meaningful engagement of a wide variety of stakeholders, particularly by centering and engaging the experience of mothers, is critical to successful PCOR/CER. Early and continued stakeholder involvement throughout a study can facilitate greater use and uptake of research results by patients and stakeholders within the health care community.

Awardees discussed their project’s efforts to create and implement strategies for connecting with and empowering patients and other stakeholders to engage in PCOR/CER focused on improving health outcomes for mothers with SUDs. Awardees also discussed how their work may provide the groundwork for future PCOR/CER initiatives on this topic.
