Overview
Brief Summary
This purpose of this study is to use the existing infrastructure and therapeutic relationships developed by Early Intervention, a national system of child development programs, to make an evidence-based intervention for parents with substance use disorder, Mothering from the Inside Out, more readily accessible to postpartum women with substance use disorder. This study will assess the feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary outcomes of the intervention in a pilot randomized controlled trial. We will also identify key implementation domains that impact successful delivery. We hypothesize that the intervention will be feasible and acceptable to the study participants.

- •Willing to receive parenting supports for the index child through EI
- •Geographically based within the catchment area of participating EI programs

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
The number of intervention sessions completed by mothers
Time Frame: Through intervention period, an average of 6 months
The total number of sessions completed
Early Intervention and additional services received by mothers after intervention period
Time Frame: Post-intervention up to 3 months
Services received qualitatively listed by mothers
Qualitative perceptions of intervention sessions from mothers
Time Frame: Through intervention period, an average of 6 months
Open-ended feedback of intervention sessions
Qualitative perceptions of intervention sessions from mothers after intervention period
Time Frame: 3 months after the completion of the intervention
Open-ended feedback via a 30-minute interview
Adherence of providers to the intervention according to a revised 9-point "Mothering from the Inside Out" Adherence Rating Scale
Time Frame: Through intervention period for each mother participant, an average of 6 months
The revised Mothering from the Inside Out (MIO) Adherence Rating Scale is a 9-item measure rated on a 3-point scale for frequency of occurrence (never or seldom, sporadically, or consistent) and competence (poorly executed, adequately executed, or well-executed) of intervention delivery. The measure uses intervention session audio- or video- recordings and includes MIO specific fidelity and a measure of therapeutic alliance.
