Summary
This study is developing and testing a mobile app to teach pregnant women with opioid use disorder how to care for newborns who may experience neonatal abstinence syndrome (NAS). The app provides training on comforting techniques like swaddling, skin-to-skin contact, and feeding. Researchers will test the app with 30 pregnant women to see if it is easy to use and helpful, and measure effects on maternal drug relapse and newborn hospital stays.
