Enhancing Delivery of Parenting Support Within a Peer Recovery Support Service Model (NCT07743359)
Relational Health Enhanced Parenting Support (RHEP) Type 2 Hybrid Effectiveness-Implementation Study
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the effectiveness and implementation of Relational Health Enhanced Parenting Support (RHEP), an implementation strategy designed to improve delivery of evidence-based parenting support within family-focused peer recovery support services (PRSS), for parents with substance use disorders (SUDs) receiving services through the FIRST Steps Together (FST) home visiting program. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Does FST plus RHEP improve parenting-related outcomes, substance use disorder treatment retention, and reduction in substance use compared with FST alone? 2. How do implementation processes vary across sites, and what role do peer recovery support specialists play in implementation and effectiveness outcomes? Researchers will compare FST alone to FST plus RHEP to determine whether RHEP enhances parenting support delivery and improves parent and recovery outcomes. Participants will: 1. Receive family-focused peer recovery support services through the FIRST Steps Together (FST) program; 2. Complete surveys and assessments related to parenting, recovery, and substance use over time; 3. Participate in follow-up data collection to evaluate treatment retention and recovery outcomes. Peer recovery support specialists participating in the study will: 1. Receive training and consultation. 2. Use implementation tools and supports designed to improve delivery of evidence-based parenting support. 3. Participate in implementation-related assessments and activities.
