Brief Summary

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

The majority of men experiencing opioid use disorder and receiving treatment are fathers. Substance use, transitions between in-patient and out-patient treatment, and reunification as a family, all create considerable strain and are predictive of a host of negative long-term outcomes including increased rates of relapse for fathers and elevated risk for behavioral, emotional, and substance use problems in their children. Evidence-based parenting interventions for fathers are lacking in general, yet are exceedingly rare for fathers participating in opioid use disorder treatment, even though the extant research literature suggests the integration of services is not only timely but may help engage and retain fathers in treatment and produce protective factors for children. The goal of this project is to develop and evaluate a prototype of a usable innovative web-based program that integrates existing evidence-based parenting programs, yet tailored specifically to fathers with opioid use disorder and designed for the opioid treatment context in order to promote the implementation and dissemination of father specific empirically-supported treatment.

Detailed Description

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

Investigators will recruit participants for this project through substance use treatment centers in Oregon. Recruitment for the 30 fathers for the evaluation testing will be coordinated in collaboration with substance use treatment center staff members who will contact potentially eligible fathers to give a brief description of the project and ask for permission for Oregon Research Behavioral Intervention Strategies (ORBIS) staff to contact them to provide further information about the study. Fathers that do not give permission for treatment center staff will not be contacted by ORBIS, though they can contact ORBIS directly using the contact information in a brochure that they will receive from treatment centers. Once treatment center staff receive permission from a father for ORBIS to contact them, project staff will call to further explain the details of the project, confirm eligibility requirements and discuss confidentiality. If the father expresses interest in participating, we will send him an information packet and schedule an interview (or a visit if we feel that is necessary to ensure that he understands the project and what we are asking of him).

A total of 30 individual fathers that are eligible and consent to participate will be enrolled in the study. Over a 5-week period (1 week for pretest assessments, 3 weeks for training and skills practice, 1 week for posttest assessments) fathers will participate in using the Fathering In Recovery (FIR) program. To address promise of efficacy, the primary approach for the evaluation of the phase I prototype will be by assessing improvements on pre-intervention to post-intervention outcomes including, parenting knowledge, parenting efficacy, parenting skill, and pre-post reductions in substance use. Fathers will receive a total of $200 for participation in the study.

Fathering In Recovery

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

Fathering In Recovery (FIR) will be designed to address the unique needs of fathers in treatment for opioid misuse. FIR integrates evidence-based parenting interventions that have well-documented positive outcomes on children, parents, and families, with innovative web-based mobile technology to maximize accessibility, fidelity, and consistency of intervention and support.
