Prevent Language Delays and Disorders Among Children of Caregivers With Substance Use Disorders With Community Groups and Individualized Services
Sponsor: University of Oregon
Summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to test ways to improve early language development among young children of parents with substance use disorder (SUD). Children of parents with SUD are at increased risk for language delays, and early supports may help prevent long-term learning challenges. This study will examine whether adding additional supports to group-based parenting intervention improves child language outcomes compared to the group intervention alone.

Conditions
Interventions
Comilia Group
Parents participate in six weekly 90-minute in-person groups led by a trained facilitator and offered in English or Spanish. Groups use modeled caregiver-child interaction videos and guided discussion to teach evidence-based communication strategies.
Interaction Review Enhancement
Parents receive three one-hour telehealth coaching sessions with a licensed speech-language pathologist to review caregiver-child interactions, practice communication strategies, and receive individualized feedback.
Practical Support Enhancement
Participants receive three one-hour telehealth sessions focused on identifying barriers to using the communication strategies introduced in the group sessions. Interventionists work with parents to develop structured supports (e.g., mindfulness tools, visual aids, tracking logs, timers) and set goals to address planning, attention, or memory challenges that may interfere with implementation.
