What this trial studies

This study evaluates the effectiveness of a modified intervention designed to improve parenting skills and infant development among opioid-dependent mothers receiving medication-assisted treatment. Pregnant women in their third trimester will be randomly assigned to either the modified Attachment and Biobehavioral Catch-Up (mABC) intervention or a control intervention. The study aims to enhance maternal sensitivity and nurturing behaviors, which are expected to lead to better outcomes for both mothers and their infants in terms of attachment and physiological regulation.
