A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This interventional, family-centered study examines how access to treatment services near where parents spend time and engagement with family peer mentors influence parental recovery and child outcomes in rural Ohio. It builds on the Ohio START program, which links child welfare involvement with behavioral health services and peer recovery support. The study will observe whether proximity to SUD services and active mentoring lead to positive changes in parents' social networks and activity spaces, and whether these changes correlate with improvements in child wellbeing and family resilience. Outcomes of interest include treatment engagement, parental health behaviors, and indicators of child welfare and family functioning. The trial is conducted in collaboration with Ohio State University, NICHD, and the University of Michigan.
