Substance-Related Disorders Clinical Trial
Official title:
Growing Together: A Pragmatic Clinical Trial of a Parenting Intervention for Women in Opioid Treatment and Their Infants
This study evaluates the effectiveness of the home-based therapeutic parenting intervention BRIGHT with pregnant women and postpartum mothers with opioid use disorders (OUDs) and their infants. It examines whether participation in the BRIGHT intervention improves parent-child relationships, parenting capacities, the mother's overall mental health, participation in OUD treatment, infant social-emotional development and decreases the likelihood of child maltreatment. Approximately half of the participants will receive the BRIGHT intervention, monthly handouts, and the standard of care at the maternal-fetal medical clinic and the other half will receive STAR, or Enhanced Treatment as Usual (TAU+), which includes monthly handouts and the standard of care from the medical clinic.

Primary | Coding Interactive Behavior (CIB) system (Observer-rated parent-infant video), measuring Maternal Sensitivity (representing the parent-child relationship) | CIB is a rating of mother-child interactions which has three 5-point Likert subscales: Maternal Sensitivity (MSense, primary outcome), Maternal intrusiveness (MIntrude), and Child involvement. (CInvolve). High scores on CIB scales indicate more evidence of the behavior/dimension. Moderate scores typically indicate presence of the behavior/dimension approximately 50% of the time. Low scores indicate that the behavior/dimension is never/infrequently observed. The CIB has been validated with healthy and at-risk populations. The study is assessing the change in CIB score between the time points. | t1 (6-8 Weeks postpartum), t2 (6-8 months postpartum) | |
Primary | The Adult- Adolescent Parenting Inventory-2 (AAPI), measuring the Risk of Child Maltreatment | Responses to the inventory provide an index of risk for practicing behaviors known to be attributable to child abuse and neglect. Answers are recorded on a scale from Strongly Agree to Strongly Disagree. Subscales include: Construct A - Inappropriate Expectations of Children, Construct B - Parental Lack of Empathy Towards Children's Needs, Construct C - Strong Parental Belief in the Use of Corporal Punishment, Construct D - Reversing Parent-Child Family Roles, Construct E - Oppressing Children's Power and Independence. 32-item inventory assessing parenting and child-rearing attitudes associated with risk for child maltreatment. Five parenting interaction constructs include, 1) inappropriate expectations for child, 2) empathic awareness of child's needs, 3) belief in corporal punishment, 4) role reversal and 5) oppressing children's power. Construct validity is well-established. Test-re-test reliability is .76. The study is assessing the change in AAPI score between the time points. | t1 (6-8 weeks postpartum), t2 (6-8 months postpartum), t3 (9-11 months postpartum) | |
Secondary | Karitane Parenting Confidence Scale (KPCS), measuring Parenting Capacity | 15-item self-report measure of perceived parental self-efficacy, for parents of infants birth-12 months .82 The KPCS has good internal validity and test-re-test reliability is .88. Each item on the KPCS is scored 0, 1, 2, or 3, with scores summed to produce a total score. The general rule is that a high score indicates the parent is feeling confident on that item. | t1 (6-8 weeks postpartum), t2 (6-8 months postpartum), t3 (9-11 months postpartum) | |
Secondary | Parenting Stress Index/Short Form (PSI/SF), measuring Parenting Capacity | 36-item self-report measure of parenting stress in 3 domains: parental distress, parent-child dysfunctional interaction, and parent's perceptions of child's difficulty. A high total stress score (above 90) indicates a greater level of parenting stress. The PSI/SF has excellent external validity, and test-re-test reliability is .76. Screening and triage measure for evaluating the parenting system and identifying issues that may lead to problems in the child's or parent's behavior. Focuses on three major domains of stress: child characteristics, parent characteristics and situational/demographic life stress. 1-5 Likert scale. 3 subscales: Parental Distress, Parent-Child Dysfunctional Interaction, and Difficult Child. Child and Parent domains combine to form Total Stress Scale. | t1 (6-8 weeks postpartum), t2 (6-8 months postpartum), t3 (9-11 months postpartum) | |
Secondary | The Parental Reflective Functioning Questionnaire (PRFQ), measuring Parenting Capacity | Multidimensional assessment of parental reflective functioning in parents with children 0-5 years old. 1-7 Likert scale (1= Strongly Disagree, 7= Strongly Agree). 39-item measure of levels of reflective functioning - parent's ability to reflect upon and "see" their child's internal experiences, including wishes, fears, intentions, and emotions that drive children's behavior. Higher levels of reflective functioning indicate abilities to respond in a more empathetic and supportive manner. The PRFQ has good internal consistency and discriminant validity. | t1 (6-8 weeks postpartum), t2 (6-8 months postpartum), t3 (9-11 months postpartum) | |
Secondary | The Brief Symptom Inventory (BSI), measuring Maternal Mental Health (including continuation of OUD treatment) | Provides an overview of a patient's psychological symptoms and their intensity at a specific point in time. 0-4 Likert scale, lower scores are "better." 53-item self-report measure of mothers' psychological distress. Dimensions include depression, somatization, obsession-compulsion, anxiety, hostility, phobic anxiety, interpersonal sensitivity, paranoid ideation, and psychoticism. The BSI is known to have good reliability and validity. | t0 (3rd trimester), t1 (6-8 weeks postpartum), t2 (6-8 months postpartum) | |
Secondary | The Life Stressor Checklist- Revised (LSC-R), measuring Maternal Mental Health (including continuation of OUD treatment) | 22-item, self-report measure of traumatic or stressful life events. Stressful events are rated for occurrence (yes/no) and the age(s) of occurrence. The LSC-R maintains good criterion validity and test-retest reliability. A lower score is "better." | t0 (3rd trimester) | |
Secondary | Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale-10 (CD-RISC 10), measuring Maternal Mental Health (including continuation of OUD treatment) | 10-item assessment of resilience, specifically hardiness and persistence, has demonstrated strong psychometric properties. CDRS measures "bounce-back" and adaptability in relationship to stress. 0-4 Likert scale (0= Not true at all; 4= True nearly all the time). Higher scores are considered "better." | t0 (3rd trimester), t1 (6-8 weeks postpartum), t2 (6-8 months postpartum) | |
Secondary | Post Traumatic Stress Disorder Checklist (PCL-5), measuring Maternal Mental Health (including continuation of OUD treatment) | 20-item self-report questionnaire, corresponds to DSM-5 symptom criteria for PTSD. Rating scales span 0-4 for each symptom. The wording of PCL-5 items reflects both changes to existing symptoms and the addition of new symptoms in DSM-5. Preliminary validation work suggests a cut point of 38. 0-4 Likert scale (0= Not at all; 4= Extremely) Lower scores are considered "better." | t0 (3rd trimester), t1 (6-8 weeks postpartum), t2 (6-8 months postpartum) | |
Secondary | Addiction Severity Index (ASI), measuring Maternal Mental Health (including continuation of OUD treatment) | Semi-structured interview designed to address misuse of alcohol and drugs in the past 30 days and lifetime use in days and years. Lower numbers are considered "better." | t0 (3rd trimester), t1 (6-8 weeks postpartum), t2 (6-8 months postpartum) | |
Secondary | Devereaux Early Childhood Assessment for Infants and Toddlers (DECA-I/T), measuring Infant Social-Emotional Development | Standardized assessment of protective factors and screens for social/emotional risks and development in very young children, has demonstrated very good reliability and validity.89 Parents report perceptions of their child's qualities/abilities, yielding 2 scales: infant initiative and attachment, with an overall protective factors scale. It is recommended as a research tool to assess infants' and toddlers' social-emotional outcomes. 0-4 Likert scale (0= Never, 4= Very Frequently), higher values represent better outcomes | t1 (6-8 weeks postpartum), t2 (6-8 months postpartum), t3 (9-11 months postpartum) | |
Secondary | Parent Development Interview (PDI)- Short Form Revised 2016, measuring Parental Reflective Functioning | A semi-structured clinical interview that asks parents to describe the child, their internal experience of parenting, and their experience of the relationship with the child. The PI is coded by a trained and reliable PI coder using the Reflective Functioning Scale. -1 through 9 scale (-1: Negative; 9: Full or Exceptional). Higher scores indicate a high level of reflective functioning sophistication. | t0 (3rd trimester), t2 (6-8 months postpartum) |
