Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the initial efficacy of a yoga-mindfulness intervention to promote ongoing recovery for pregnant and parenting women with Opioid Use Disorder (OUD) receiving perinatal services and medication treatment for OUD from maternity care practices in New Hampshire.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

In this R33 project, the study team will conduct a randomized controlled trial to evaluate the efficacy and implementation of the Mindful Moms intervention (MMORE) with a group of pregnant women with identified OUD receiving medication treatment for OUD at partner maternity care practices. The study team will evaluate the impact of Mindful Moms as an adjunct to treatment as usual on retention in medication for opioid use disorder (MOUD) treatment, substance use, and relapse-related risks.

This study has three Specific Aims:

Aim 1: Evaluate MMORE in a randomized controlled study with pregnant women as an adjunct to MOUD treatment as usual care for impact on treatment retention, opioid abstinence, and relapse risks.

Aim 2: Examine mechanisms of effect of MMORE on outcomes.

Aim 3: Evaluate barriers and facilitators to sustainable implementation of MMORE as an adjunct to MOUD for pregnant and parenting women.

Investigators Outcome Assessors
The study will be blind to the Principal Investigators, the statistician, and to those on the team responsible for participant data collection. The study team will work to try to blind clinicians delivering treatment as usual to participant assignment but there is a chance that patients will reveal their condition to clinicians despite our best efforts. To achieve blindness, treatment assignment will done by the Project Manager, who will not be directly involved in evaluation data collection. Data collection will be conducted by the study Research Assistant who will be blinded to participant treatment assignment.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Intervention as adjunct to Treatment as Usual

Participants will attend via Zoom an 8-session group-based yoga-mindfulness intervention offered over the course of approximately 10 consecutive weeks. Participants will also be asked to use a mobile companion app once a week during the intervention period. All intervention participants also receive treatment as usual for OUD at the partner practice, which includes medication for OUD, individual and/or group counseling, and case management.
