“…In [Massachusetts], parents working to reunite with their children should be involved in EI, though this is not common practice. Thus, the solution proposed by the panel to purposefully include this population could provide needed support and engagement while paying special attention to their unique risks (Holland et al, 2022). Although research guidelines and requirements help ensure the physical and psychological safety of research participants, protocols still need to be tailored to unique risks as the safety measures built into the research process may not be adequate or readily apparent to potential participants.…”

Background The objective of this study was to assess potential challenges, prioritize adaptations, and develop an implementation and research approach to integrate and study a parenting intervention for mothers in recovery from substance use disorders in community-based home-visiting programs. Method An explanatory mixed-methods design, guided by process mapping with Failure Modes and Effects Analysis tools, and an Advisory Panel of 15 community members, identified potential implementation challenges and recommended solutions for the proposed intervention within five pre-specified domains. Thematic content analysis identified themes from detailed field notes. Results The Advisory Panel identified 44 potential challenges across all domains. They determined that the recruitment domain was most likely to create challenges. Regarding the potential challenges, two cross-domain themes emerged: (1) development of mistrust in the community and (2) difficulty initiating and sustaining engagement. Potential solutions and adaptations to protocols are reported. Conclusion Mistrust in the community was cited as a potentially important challenge for the delivery and study of an evidence-based parenting intervention for mothers in recovery through home-visiting programs. Adaptations to research protocols and intervention delivery strategies are needed to prioritize the psychological safety of families, particularly for groups that have been historically stigmatized. Plain Language Summary Effective evidence-based public health interventions for women and children face common implementation challenges in community-based settings, frequently yielding lower benefits to participants. Adaptation can improve the integration of interventions in these settings. In this study, implementation process mapping was a particularly effective approach to adapt a complex community-based intervention to a population that has been stigmatized. This tool may be useful for adapting other community-based interventions.

In retrospective cohort studies of interventions disseminated to communities, it is challenging to find comparison groups with high-quality data for evaluation. We present one methodological approach as part of our study of birth outcomes of second-born children in a home visiting (HV) program targeting first-time mothers. We used probabilistic record linkage to link Connecticut's Nurturing Families Network (NFN) HV program and birth-certificate data for children born from 2005 to 2015. We identified two potential comparison groups: a propensity-score-matched group from the remaining birth certificate sample and eligible-but-unenrolled families. An analysis of interpregnancy interval (IPI) is presented to exemplify the approach. We identified the birth certificates of 4822 NFN families. The propensity-score-matched group had 14,219 families (3-to-1 matching) and we identified 1101 eligible-but-unenrolled families. Covariates were well balanced for the propensity-score-matched group, but poorly balanced for the eligible-but-unenrolled group. No program effect on IPI was found. By combining propensity-score matching and probabilistic record linkage, we were able to retrospectively identify relatively large comparison groups for quasiexperimental research. Using birth certificate data, we accessed outcomes for all of these individuals from a single data source. Multiple comparison groups allow us to confirm findings when each method has some limitations. Other researchers seeking community-based comparison groups could consider a similar approach.birth outcomes, home visiting, maternal-child health, quasi-experimental method Administrative datasets are created for purposes other than research but can have important advantages when utilized in research. These datasets include electronic medical records, insurance claims, state agency records, and community program data. While primary data collection can often be costly and burdensome, use of administrative datasets may allow for exploration of new research questions faster and at lower cost, as these datasets can provide a much larger sample size for a lower cost per participant (Jutte et al., 2011). Use of administrative datasets may also allow for evaluation of interventions after dissemination into the community, and the larger size of administrative datasets may be helpful for examining infrequent events or complex interactions such as the intersectionality of race and gender (Bauer et al., 2021).
