Abstract
Between 2014 and 2016, there were 94 maternal deaths in Colorado. Of those 94 deaths, 75% were preventable. Nearly 60% of the maternal deaths during that time were associated with mental health concerns or substance use. Since early 2020, with the rise in COVID-19 infections, the rates of mental health concerns and substance use disorders have been increasing. To reduce preventable maternal death in Colorado, early recognition is crucial. The screening, brief intervention, and referral to treatment (SBIRT) modality is an effective model that can be implemented in the short duration of admission in labor and delivery units.
