Study Summary

This trial is testing whether the Wraparound intervention can help families with substance use disorders who have children placed outside the home or are at risk of such placement. The investigators hypothesize that families receiving Wraparound will have better parenting and family functioning outcomes, child safety, permanency, and well-being, and parental recovery than families receiving treatment as usual.

Who is the study for?
Parents or guardians with children up to age 17, living in specific areas of New Hampshire or Vermont, who have substance use disorders and are at risk of having their child placed out of the home. Participants must be over 18, able to consent, and not planning to move soon. Children already in foster care can join if a birth parent participates.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial is testing 'Wraparound,' a family-centered support process lasting for 12 months aimed at improving parenting and family functioning. It compares families receiving Wraparound with those getting usual treatment to see which group fares better in terms of parenting outcomes and child well-being.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since Wraparound is a supportive intervention rather than a medication, it does not have physical side effects. However, participants may experience emotional discomfort when addressing personal issues during the process.

2Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Active Control
Group I: WraparoundExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Wraparound is a 12-month intervention including a family-centered discovery process to identify values, needs, and strengths to help the family be successful in reaching family functioning and parental recovery goals; weekly or twice weekly family meetings with the Wraparound coordinator; intensive care coordination among systems and providers (substance use disorder, mental health, schools, pediatrics, homeless shelters, etc.); and bi-monthly family-centered team meetings (including the family's natural and professional supports) to discuss strategies, progress and continued needs. Wraparound coordinators (2) work with up to 10 families at a time and receive extensive training (including observation) and supervision by expert trainers at University of New Hampshire.
Group II: treatment-as-usualActive Control1 Intervention
The treatment-as-usual group will receive a packet of local services and referral contacts and "treatment as usual" as directed by any healthcare providers working with the family. The project team will contact treatment-as-usual families on a monthly basis to confirm any services the family may be receiving, provide reminders of scheduled assessment dates, and give small incentives ($10 gift card) when families report changes in contact information to reduce risk for loss to follow-up.
