First seen Jul 06, 2026 · Last updated Jul 07, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study aims to create a way for mothers with opioid use disorder to receive treatment (buprenorphine) while visiting their babies in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). Researchers will interview mothers and healthcare providers to understand barriers and then develop a practical care model. The goal is to make it easier for mothers to get help and improve outcomes for both mother and infant.
