Improving Neurodevelopmental ouTcomes After Prenatal Cannabinoid in uTero Exposure

Description

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.
