Summary

This pilot study tests whether a 4-week virtual mindfulness-based group intervention with social support is feasible and acceptable for pregnant individuals at higher risk for substance use. Participants join weekly video conference groups focused on grounding, thinking patterns, self-compassion, and self-care. The study measures interest, attendance, and satisfaction, along with stress and psychological distress. The goal is to see if this approach can foster well-being and social support in this population.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

What this could lead to
If successful, this could offer a practical, accessible way to support mental health and reduce substance use risk in pregnant individuals.
What could go wrong
This is a small pilot study focused on feasibility, not effectiveness. Results may not generalize, and the intervention's impact on substance use is not yet proven.
