P.A.R.E.N.T.S.S. (Parents Adopting Recovery Management through New Technology for Self-Care and Support [for Mothers] Project) 

OUD during pregnancy and postpartum

Dr. Phyllis Raynor received a K23 Career Development Award by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) for her research, Parents Adopting Recovery Management through New Technology for Self-Care and Support (for Mothers) Project (P.A.R.E.N.T.S.S.).

Using a community-based participatory research (CBPR) approach, she partners with a community advisory board to develop a customized digital intervention and determine its feasibility and preliminary effects in supporting women with Opioid Use Disorders (OUD) during the pregnancy and postpartum period.

This career development award will provide Dr. Raynor the mentoring and training needed to develop knowledge and skills in rural health disparities, CBPR methods, digital intervention development and program evaluation, population health interventions, and advanced research training.

For this vulnerable population, it is hard to retain ongoing treatment and support services, especially once they transition back into their communities. With this research, we hope to understand successful ways to support positive parenting and ongoing recovery efforts. This critical work ultimately facilitates positive health outcomes for the entire family.
