Background of the Study
Healthcare providers play a crucial role in preventing substance abuse among pregnant women by providing education, screening, counseling, and intervention services. Effective healthcare provider engagement can significantly reduce maternal substance abuse and improve pregnancy outcomes (Adeyemi et al., 2024).
In Kogi State, healthcare facilities often face challenges such as inadequate staffing, lack of specialized training, and cultural barriers that hinder effective intervention against maternal substance abuse. Understanding the role of healthcare providers and identifying gaps in service delivery are essential for improving maternal healthcare.
Statement of the Problem
Despite efforts to curb substance abuse during pregnancy, many pregnant women in Kogi State continue to engage in risky behaviors due to a lack of awareness or inadequate healthcare provider intervention. Factors such as insufficient screening, limited substance abuse education, and cultural constraints prevent healthcare professionals from fully addressing the issue. This study aims to examine the role of healthcare providers in preventing maternal substance abuse and explore ways to enhance their effectiveness.
