Summary

This study involves testing how useful a technology-enhanced therapy is for pregnant people prescribed buprenorphine for the treatment of opioid use disorder, compared to medication monitoring. Participants are randomized to one of the conditions. Participants randomized to receive the therapy will attend four 60-minute therapy appointments during pregnancy with an additional 30-minute therapy session towards the end of pregnancy, and 6 additional monthly postpartum (after childbirth) sessions (0-6 months postpartum). As part of the therapy program, participants will receive access to a mobile application, which will be accessible for the duration of the study. Participants randomized to medication monitoring will be asked to log each time the medication is taken for a two month period. All participants will also be asked to complete questionnaires at enrollment and again at 3-month postpartum and 6-months postpartum, and will be contacted randomly throughout the study to perform a medication count. The total duration of the study is between 8-12 months depending on when enrollment occurs (early second trimester-mid third trimester). Compensation up to $310 is provided.

Researcher

Keywords
Pediatrics, Sleep Disorders
Summary

This research study aims to compare usual care with a patient navigation intervention for children with sleep-disordered breathing (SDB). SDB is a range of symptoms from snoring to severe obstructive sleep apnea. In the REPOSE intervention, a centralized patient navigator will find out the dynamic individual barriers that families face in caring for their child with SDB. They will also provide resources and social support for parent-child dyads. In addition, the navigator facilitates bidirectional SDB care coordination between clinical teams and parents to achieve evidence-based care. The patient navigation intervention group will be compared to the group of children receiving standard of care.
