Summary

"This trial aims to improve treatment for mothers with Opioid Use Disorder (OUD) and care for infants with neonatal opioid withdrawal syndrome. Researchers will develop a treatment model and strategies to provide evidence

Who is the study for?
This trial is for postpartum mothers with Opioid Use Disorder (OUD) who have infants experiencing Neonatal Abstinence Syndrome (NAS) in the NICU. The study aims to help these mothers by providing treatment at their baby's bedside.
What is being tested?
The trial is testing a new model where Medications for Opioid Use Disorder (MOUD) are prescribed right in the NICU. It involves assessing needs, creating protocols with experts, and evaluating how well this approach works in two NICUs.
What are the potential side effects?
Since this study focuses on implementing a care model rather than a specific medication or medical procedure, it does not directly involve side effects as typically understood with drug trials.
