What this trial studies

This study evaluates a novel parenting intervention that uses video coaching to enhance responsive parenting among mothers who are in treatment for opioid misuse. It involves a randomized trial with opioid-using women and their children aged 0-36 months, assessing the impact of the intervention on caregiver recovery, psychological well-being, and child development. The study aims to understand how improvements in caregiving can mediate recovery from addiction and improve child outcomes through changes in caregiver functioning and self-concept.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates are adult women aged 18-50 who are biological parents of children aged 0-48 months and are currently receiving treatment for a substance use disorder.

Not a fit: Patients who are pregnant, have certain medical conditions, or do not meet the age and treatment criteria may not benefit from this study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this intervention could significantly improve parenting skills and recovery outcomes for mothers struggling with opioid addiction, benefiting both the mothers and their children.

How similar studies have performed: Other studies have shown promise in using video coaching for parenting interventions, suggesting potential success for this novel approach.
