Advancing Clinical Trials in Neonatal Opioid Withdrawal (ACT NOW) Program
With
National Institutes of Health (NIH)
This study will randomize institutions in blocks to transition from usual institutional care for infants with NOWS to the ESC care approach at a randomly allocated transition period (from usual care to the ESC care approach).
During the initial birth hospitalization, the clinical site research team will collect data under waiver of consent for infants who meet eligibility criteria.
The site research team will obtain informed consent from the legal guardian(s) to obtain long-term outcomes for eligible infants and caregivers. Clinical site research team members may obtain this consent at any point during the hospital stay for infants who meet the trial's inclusion criteria. This data will allow the protocol study team to short- and long-term outcomes for infants managed with the ESC care approach compared to usual institutional care.
