Summary

This trial will study if the mABC Intervention, adapted for use with peripartum mothers receiving medication-assisted treatment for opioid use disorder, is more effective than a control intervention in improving parenting and infant outcomes.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for opioid-dependent pregnant women in their third trimester who are on medication-assisted treatment. There are no specific exclusion criteria listed, so it may be open to a wide range of individuals within this group.
What is being tested?
The study is testing the effectiveness of a parenting intervention called modified Attachment and Biobehavioral Catch-Up (mABC) for mothers with opioid use disorder. It aims to improve nurturing behavior and emotional regulation in both mothers and infants compared to a control group receiving standard care.
What are the potential side effects?
Since mABC is a behavioral intervention rather than a medical drug, there aren't typical side effects like you'd expect from medication. However, participants might experience emotional discomfort or stress during therapy sessions.
