MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING
2. PURPOSE AND SCOPE OF AGREEMENT
2.1. Purpose
The Safe, Healthy Infants & Families Thrive (SHIFT) Collaborative was created in July 2018 to
develop plans for improved care in Maricopa County for babies and families affected by substance
use and prenatal exposure to drugs and alcohol. The SHIFT Collaborative is comprised of members
from the Superior Court in Maricopa County Juvenile Department Family Treatment Court,
Department of Child Safety, substance use disorder treatment providers, Medication Assisted
Treatment (MAT) providers, maternal and infant health care providers, and Maricopa County
Department of Public Health. Through the SHIFT Collaborative’s work, the Prenatal Coordinated
Care Pilot project was formed.
Currently intervention for pregnant women with substance use disorder happens at the birth event
when a positive screen initiates an investigation by the Department of Child Safety to determine if
the child is safe to go home with the parent in a very short period of time. The Prenatal Coordinated
Care Pilot facilitates intervention to begin during pregnancy increasing the likelihood of the woman
having a healthy pregnancy and a healthy infant by receiving treatment and support services before
the birth event.
The Prenatal Coordinated Care Pilot seeks to increase cross-systems collaboration in the care of
parents with substance use disorder as early as possible in the pregnancy. The premise of the pilot
is to improve coordination of care between providers and systems already serving these families.
The evaluation of the project hopes to show that using collaborative strategies has an overall positive
impact on health and wellbeing outcomes for both the parents and the infant and families.
MCDPH agrees to submit data to University via REDCap as outlined in section 2.2.1 of this
MOU for purposes of program evaluation.
The University shall use the data supplied by MCDPH solely for the SHIFT (Safe, Health Infants &
Families Thrive) Statewide Project as well as Institutional Review Board (IRB) approved projects to
promote prenatal care under the SHIFT program (the “Project”). It is understood that the University
will be collecting, compiling, and analyzing data from a number of different sources as part of the
Project.
2.2. Scope
MCDPH will submit data to the University, via REDCap , collected from women enrolled in
MCDPH Home Visiting programs who have revealed the use of substance use during pregnancy,
and who voluntarily consent to participate in the Prenatal Coordinated Care Pilot. Data elements
that MCDPH will provide in the data sets may include any data element permitted by this MOU.
2.2.1. Selection Criteria
MCDPH will submit data to the University, via REDCap , collected from women enrolled in
MCDPH Home Visiting programs who have revealed the use of substance use during
pregnancy, and who voluntarily consent to participate in the Prenatal Coordinated Care Pilot.
Data elements that MCDPH will provide in the data sets may include any data element
permitted by this MOU.
2.2.2. Data Requests
MCDPH will submit data to University on a mutually agreed upon schedule (Exhibit A).

Regulatory Determinations/Comments:
• Criteria for Approval has been met (45 CFR 46.111): The criteria for approval listed
in 45 CFR 46.111 have been met (or if previously met, have not changed) in that (1)
Risks to subjects are minimized: (i) By using procedures which are consistent with sound
research design and which do not unnecessarily expose subjects to risk, and (ii) whenever
appropriate, by using procedures already being performed on the subjects for diagnostic or
treatment purposes. (2) Risks to subjects are reasonable in relation to anticipated benefits,
if any, to subjects, and the importance of the knowledge that may reasonably be expected
to result. In evaluating risks and benefits, the IRB should consider only those risks and
benefits that may result from the research (as distinguished from risks and benefits of
therapies subjects would receive even if not participating in the research). The IRB should
not consider possible long-range effects of applying knowledge gained in the research (for

example, the possible effects of the research on public policy) as among those research risks
that fall within the purview of its responsibility. (3) Selection of subjects is equitable. In
making this assessment the IRB should take into account the purposes of the research and
the setting in which the research will be conducted and should be particularly cognizant
of the special problems of research involving vulnerable populations, such as children,
prisoners, pregnant women, mentally disabled persons, or economically or educationally
disadvantaged persons. (4) Informed consent will be sought from each prospective subject or
the subject's legally authorized representative, in accordance with, and to the extent required
by 46.116. (5) Informed consent will be appropriately documented, in accordance with, and
to the extent required by 46.117. (6) When appropriate, the research plan makes adequate
provision for monitoring the data collected to ensure the safety of subjects. (7) When
appropriate, there are adequate provisions to protect the privacy of subjects and to maintain
the confidentiality of data. (b) When some or all of the subjects are likely to be vulnerable to
coercion or undue influence, such as children, prisoners, pregnant women, mentally disabled
persons, or economically or educationally disadvantaged persons, additional safeguards have
been included in the study to protect the rights and welfare of these subjects.
• Vulnerable Population - Pregnant Women (45 CFR 46.204): As documented in the file,
research that where scientifically appropriate, preclinical studies, including studies on
pregnant animals, and clinical studies, including studies on nonpregnant women, have been
conducted and provide data for assessing potential risks to pregnant women and fetuses; the
risk to the fetus is caused solely by interventions or procedures that hold out the prospect of
direct benefit for the woman or the fetus; or, if there is no such prospect of benefit, the risk
to the fetus is not greater than minimal and the purpose of the research is the development
of important biomedical knowledge which cannot be obtained by any other means; any
risk is the least possible for achieving the objectives of the research; if the research holds
out the prospect of direct benefit to the pregnant woman, the prospect of a direct benefit
both to the pregnant woman and the fetus, or no prospect of benefit for the woman nor the
fetus when risk to the fetus is not greater than minimal and the purpose of the research is
the development of important biomedical knowledge that cannot be obtained by any other
means, her consent is obtained in accord with the informed consent provisions of subpart
A of this part; if the research holds out the prospect of direct benefit solely to the fetus then
the consent of the pregnant woman and the father is obtained in accord with the informed
consent provisions of subpart A of this part, except that the father's consent need not be
obtained if he is unable to consent because of unavailability, incompetence, or temporary
incapacity or the pregnancy resulted from rape or incest; each individual providing consent
is fully informed regarding the reasonably foreseeable impact of the research on the fetus
or neonate; for children as defined in 46.402(a) who are pregnant, assent and permission
are obtained in accord with the provisions of subpart D of 45 CFR 46.; no inducements,
monetary or otherwise, will be offered to terminate a pregnancy; individuals engaged in the
research will have no part in any decisions as to the timing, method, or procedures used to
terminate a pregnancy; individuals engaged in the research will have no part in determining
the viability of a neonate.
• Vulnerable Population - Children (45 CFR 46.404 and 21 CFR 50.51): As documented in
the file, research involving not greater than minimal risk and adequate provisions are made
for soliciting the assent of the children and permission of their parents or guardians, as set
forth is 45 CFR 46.408 and 21 CFR 50.55 .

• Waiver of Parental Permission for pregnant minors (45 CFR 46.116(d) and 21 CFR
50.55(d)): As documented in the file, the research involves no more than minimal risk
to subjects; the waiver or alteration will not adversely affect the rights and welfare of
the subjects; the research could not practicably be carried out without the waiver or
alteration; and whenever appropriate, the subjects will be provided with additional pertinent
information after participation.
• Waiver of Assent for newborns (45 CFR 46.408(a) and 21 CFR 50.55(c)(1)): As
documented in the file, the IRB has taken into account the ages, maturity, and psychological
state of the children involved and determined that the capability of some or all of the
children is so limited that they cannot reasonably be consulted; therefore, the assent of
the children is not a necessary condition for proceeding with the research. Note that if assent
is not obtained from a child, the reason why it was not obtained must be noted on the
appropriate Minor's Assent Form.
• Vulnerable Population - Neonates (45 CFR 46.205(d)): Viable neonates. A neonate, after
delivery, that has been determined to be viable may be included in research only to the
extent permitted by and in accord with the requirements of subparts A and D of this part.
• Expedited Continuing Review (45 CFR 46.110 Category 9): Continuing review of research,
not conducted under an investigational new drug application or investigational device
exemption where categories (2) through eight (8) do not apply but the IRB Committee has
determined and documented at the convened meeting that the research involves no greater
than minimal risk and no additional risks have been identified.
This project has been reviewed and approved by the convened IRB.
• No changes to a project may be made prior to IRB approval except to eliminate apparent
immediate hazard to subjects.
• The University of Arizona maintains a Federalwide Assurance with the Office for Human
Research Protections (FWA #00004218).
• All research procedures should be conducted according to the approved protocol and the
policies and guidance of the IRB.
• The current consent with the IRB approval stamp must be used to consent subjects.
• The Principal Investigator should notify the IRB immediately of any proposed changes that
affect the protocol and report any unanticipated problems involving risks to participants or
others. Please refer to Guidance's Investigators Responsibility after IRB Approval and
Reporting Local Information.
• For projects that wish to continue after the expiration date listed above please submit the
Renewal/ Closure of Human Research form, forty-five (45) days before the expiration date to
ensure timely review of the project.

Project Abstract
Background: Provide the scientific or scholarly background for the proposed Human Research. Discuss relevant prior
experience or preliminary data (e.g., existing literature). (Limit 10000 Characters including spaces)
In response to the nation’s prescription drug and opioid epidemic, Congress passed the Comprehensive Addiction
and Recovery Act of 2016 (CARA). Section 503 of CARA aims to help states address the effects of substance use
disorders on infants and families by amending provisions of the Child Abuse Prevention and Treatment Act (CAPTA),
first enacted in 1974, that are related to infants with prenatal substance exposure. Specifically, CAPTA tasked states
with developing policies and procedures that require health care providers to notify the child protective services
system if they are involved in the delivery and care of an infant born and identified as being affected by substance
abuse or withdrawal symptoms resulting from prenatal substance exposure, or a Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder.
The recent legislation, CARA, expanded “substance exposure” to include both illegal and legal substances. CARA
requires states to define what population of infants and families are identified as “substance affected”, what a Plan
of Safe Care is, and who is responsible for developing and monitoring the Plan of Safe Care.
A recognized national model of collaboration is the North Carolina Plan of Safe Care Interagency Collaborative (NC
POSCIC), a group that was developed to draft the necessary responses of the federal requirements as well as ongoing
monitoring. The collaborative is made up of Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) Agencies, community
agencies and subject matter experts. Overall, NC's implementation of CARA is an effort to better link infants and
families to services and resources.
Pregnancy can be an opportunity for women and those close to them to change behaviors and seek treatment
around alcohol and substance use. It is important for all providers to understand the complexity of a woman's social,
environmental, mental and physical conditions to best provide support throughout pregnancy, in the postpartum
period and throughout parenting.
Purpose: Describe the purpose, specific aims, objectives, questions to be answered, hypotheses, and/or primary and
secondary study endpoints of the Human Research.
The purpose of the pilot project is to increase coordinated care during pregnancy that will work to identify at-risk
pregnant women and their partners with substance use disorders to engage them in services and community
supports as early as possible in and during their pregnancy while increasing collaboration and planning with
community partners. The intended outcomes are to decrease trauma for both the infant and parents at the birth
event and beyond, decrease for the need for removal from the parent’s care, and an increase in reunification for
children removed from their parent’s care with tracking characteristics of prenatal substance exposure on mother

and infant. To increase community support resource collaboration for parents through coordination of care.
Lay Summary: Provide a brief description of the proposed research using terms that someone who is not familiar
with the science or your discipline can understand. (Limit 2000 Characters including spaces)
This project is a collaborative data collection project in which all sites will proceed with their standard of care/
operations, but will submit data about their patient/client into a REDCap database that Dr. Manriquez will operate.
The data being collected for research and entered into the database can be found in the prenatal family care plan
document, which is collected regardless of the research. Each site will only have access to their own data they are
putting in, except for Dr. Manriquez, who will have access to all data. The data will be entered into REDCap coded,
and each site will maintain their code, but also provide the code to Dr. Manriquez. Mr Manriquez will analyze the
data and will provide each site with a de-identified analysis. This solely is just a collection of data to see how well
collaboration efforts are working; this program evaluation will not take data and make suggestions for a patients/
clients direct care. While it is intended to evaluate this specific program, we do intend to make generalizable
statements.
Currently, we are finalizing all multi-site documents for the protocol; all sites will be added via an amendment after
the project is approved.
Resources: Describe the resources (personnel, facilities, time, emergency resources, etc.) available to recruit,
consent, conduct study procedures, and analyze data.
Each site will recruit, consent, and add data to the REDCap database about their patient/client. UACOMP will house
data on REDCap and UA Box Health. Dr. Manriquez will use her time to analyze the data and provide de-identified
reports to each site.

Please provide details of the research procedures, including a description of procedures already being performed
on subjects for diagnostic or treatment purposes. Be clear to identify which procedures are specifically for research,
and which study population will be completing each study procedure.
Each collaborating site will follow their standard of care/operations protocols pertaining to identifying their at-risk
pregnant women and partners with substance use disorders to help engage them in services and community
supports as early as possible in and during their pregnancy. The only research occurring from this standard of care/
operations is the collection of data from the Prenatal Family Care Plan document, which will be collected at the
patients/clients standard visits with their respective doctor/agency. This information on the prenatal family care
plan would be collected regardless of research, but for research purposes, this data will now be entered into
REDCap by the respective doctor/agency. As the document is fairly long, the data collected on that form could be
at several different standard visits. This is to help not overwhelm the patient/client. Due to COVID, this may also be
