The objective of this project is to implement and evaluate a group model of well child care for mothers in treatment for opioid use disorder and their children that addresses the specific health needs and concerns of opioid-exposed infants, is trauma informed, and is embedded within a maternal opioid use disorder treatment program. 108 mother-infant dyads will be randomized 1:1 to group well child care or individual well child care, and followed over an 18 month period. Qualitative and quantitative data will be collected at multiple time points. The efficacy of group well child care to improve health and healthcare-related outcomes will be evaluated.
