What this research studies
This research focuses on supporting mothers with opioid use disorders (OUD) during pregnancy and after childbirth by developing a digital technology program tailored to their needs. It aims to address the unique challenges these mothers face, such as stigma, legal concerns, and access to resources. Through community engagement, the project will customize an evidence-based self-management recovery program that provides accessible parenting and recovery resources. The goal is to improve both maternal and infant health outcomes by enhancing recovery management and parenting skills.
Who could benefit from this research
Good fit: Ideal candidates for this research are pregnant or postpartum women with opioid use disorders who are seeking support for recovery and parenting.
Not a fit: Patients who are not mothers or who do not have substance use disorders may not receive any benefit from this research.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this research could provide mothers with OUD the tools and support they need to improve their recovery and parenting, ultimately benefiting both them and their children.
How similar studies have performed: Previous research has shown success in using technology-based interventions for substance use recovery, indicating potential for this approach to be effective.
