Growing Together: Women in Opioid Treatment and Their Infants
Sponsor: Boston University Charles River Campus
Summary
This study evaluates the effectiveness of the home-based therapeutic parenting intervention BRIGHT with pregnant women and postpartum mothers with opioid use disorders (OUDs) and their infants. It examines whether participation in the BRIGHT intervention improves parent-child relationships, parenting capacities, the mother's overall mental health, participation in OUD treatment, infant social-emotional development and decreases the likelihood of child maltreatment. Approximately half of the participants will receive the BRIGHT intervention, monthly handouts, and the standard of care at the maternal-fetal medical clinic and the other half will receive STAR, or Enhanced Treatment as Usual (TAU+), which includes monthly handouts and the standard of care from the medical clinic.
