OBJECTIVES/GOALS: This study explored personal recovery support, including social determinants of health and psychosocial needs to understand factors for sustaining recovery among parenting and pregnant women with opioid use disorder. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: This study used a mixed method quantitative/qualitative design and recruited women from residential/transitional facilities in an urban area. We used the Accountable Health Communities Health-Related Social Needs tool to assess social determinants of health factors, level of physical activity, family/community support, and mental health (stress). Through focus groups, we interviewed women to describe challenges to recovery and to resources including access to providers, housing, childcare, and food assistance from lived experiences. RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: Survey analysis showed social determinants of health factors such as food and transportation were partially mitigated by residential living; however, parenting and pregnant women with opioid use disorder remained concerned about housing and finances; and encountered low levels of physical activity and significant stress. Preliminary results from the focus groups revealed a theme of positive recovery and retention experiences from residential living. DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE: Evidence from studies suggests focused interventions for recovering women to reduce relapse risk factors and adverse maternal outcomes. Opportunities for improving personal recovery capital are accessible in residential facilities, however, further exploration of unmet social determinants of health factors are needed for recovery retention.
