Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to test ways to improve early language development among young children of parents with substance use disorder (SUD). Children of parents with SUD are at increased risk for language delays, and early supports may help prevent long-term learning challenges. This study will examine whether adding additional supports to group-based parenting intervention improves child language outcomes compared to the group intervention alone.

Interventions

BEHAVIORALComilia Group

Parents participate in six weekly 90-minute in-person groups led by a trained facilitator and offered in English or Spanish. Groups use modeled caregiver-child interaction videos and guided discussion to teach evidence-based communication strategies.

BEHAVIORALInteraction Review Enhancement

Parents receive three one-hour telehealth coaching sessions with a licensed speech-language pathologist to review caregiver-child interactions, practice communication strategies, and receive individualized feedback.

BEHAVIORALPractical Support Enhancement

Participants receive three one-hour telehealth sessions focused on identifying barriers to using the communication strategies introduced in the group sessions. Interventionists work with parents to develop structured supports (e.g., mindfulness tools, visual aids, tracking logs, timers) and set goals to address planning, attention, or memory challenges that may interfere with implementation.
