About this trial

This study is evaluating a randomized clinical trial and a quasi-experimental observational study combined. Pregnant women with substance abuse issues are referred to the Substance Use Treatment and Recovery (STAR) prenatal clinic, and those who consent to participate in the study will be randomized to the STAR + maternal Attachment Biobehavioral Catchup (mABC) home visiting model or to the STAR only treatment group. Those who opt out of receiving prenatal care at STAR will be recruited as a control group for the QED portion. Those randomized to STAR + mABC will receive additional supports from a licensed therapist, including up to 12 home visits focused on substance exposed babies and positive parenting.
