NCT ID NCT03866694
First seen Jul 20, 2026 · Last updated Jul 21, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests a home-based parenting program called BRIGHT for pregnant women receiving treatment for opioid use disorder. The program starts in the third trimester and continues for six months after birth, focusing on the parent-child relationship, mental health, and infant development. Half of the 60 participants receive BRIGHT plus standard care; the other half receive only handouts and standard care. Researchers will measure changes in parent-child interaction and parenting attitudes to see if the program reduces the risk of child maltreatment and improves family well-being.
