The purpose of RCORP-NAS is to reduce the incidence and impact of Neonatal Abstinence Syndrome (NAS) in rural communities by improving systems of care, family supports, and social determinants of health.
RCORP-NAS award recipients will receive up to $500,000 over a three-year period of performance to achieve the following goals:
- Reduce structural-and systems-level barriers (e.g., transportation challenges, limited workforce, reimbursement issues, etc.); to
- Increase access to behavioral health care, especially substance use disorders, including opioid use disorder (SUD/OUD), services for rural pregnant and postpartum women and their families; and
- Address community risk factors and social determinants of health.
- Strengthen the quality and sustainability of behavioral health care services for rural pregnant and postpartum women and their families by implementing coordinated, evidence-based, trauma-informed, family-centered SUD/OUD and other services. RCORP-NAS recipients will implement activities that benefit pregnant women and women of childbearing age who have a history of, or who are at risk for, SUD/OUD and their children, families, and caregivers who reside in rural areas.
