What this research studies
This research focuses on supporting mothers with opioid use disorder (OUD) by implementing a video-coaching intervention called THRIVE, which aims to enhance their parenting skills. The program is designed to be accessible and effective, particularly for mothers during the critical preschool years when children are at high risk for behavioral issues. By improving parenting behaviors, the intervention seeks to reduce the emotional and behavioral difficulties faced by children exposed to opioids in utero. The approach is based on parent-child interaction therapy principles and aims to provide mothers with practical strategies to foster responsive parenting.
Who could benefit from this research
Good fit: Ideal candidates for this research are mothers with opioid use disorder who have children aged 0-5 years.
Not a fit: Patients who do not have opioid use disorder or whose children are older than 5 years may not benefit from this research.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this research could lead to improved parenting practices among mothers with OUD, ultimately benefiting their children's emotional and behavioral health.
How similar studies have performed: Previous research has shown that parenting interventions for mothers with OUD can be effective, indicating that this approach has potential for success.
