NCT06423664

Brief Summary

The INTACT trial is a multisite pilot feasibility study aimed at testing the effectiveness of the INTACT Intervention program in improving neurodevelopmental outcomes in infants prenatally exposed to cannabinoids. The trial will enroll 20 birthing parent/infant dyads across three sites and will evaluate feasibility endpoints rather than clinical outcomes. The study duration is 22 months, including study start-up, enrollment and intervention, and data analysis and manuscript preparation.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (3)

  • Percentage of approached participants that are eligible for study participation

    Whether a potential participant approached for study participation will eventually be consented and determined to be eligible for study participation.

    3 months

  • Percentage of participants that complete their final visit

    Whether a birthing parent/infant dyad will complete the final coaching session when the child is 12 months of age.

    12 months following enrollment

  • Percentage of participants that receive a sufficient number of coaching sessions

    Whether a participant will complete the sufficient number of INTACT intervention coaching sessions, defined as completion of at least 8 out of 12 coaching sessions.

    12 months following enrollment

Study Arms (1)

Personalized coaching sessions

EXPERIMENTAL

A novel program to train birthing parents in contingent responding with the goal of improving neurodevelopmental outcomes in infants prenatally exposed to cannabinoids. 1 personalized coaching session per month for 12 months.

Behavioral: Play and Learn Strategies (PALS) Program

Interventions

Monthly modules and personalized coaching sessions designed to strengthen maternal responsiveness and sensitivity which, in turn, improves infant social-emotional behavior and development outcomes.

Also known as: ePALS
Personalized coaching sessions
