Abstract Background The RE-AIM framework was applied to the Mindfulness Based Parenting (MBP) intervention to evaluate the feasibility and effectiveness of this innovative trauma informed model in a drug treatment program. The MBP intervention is aimed at mitigating the stress experienced by women in treatment for substance use disorders, and thereby improving parenting and dyadic attachment between mother and child. Methods This was a single arm pre-test post-test design using repeated measure data collected between 2013 and 2016. The design also includes comprehensive process and impact evaluation data. Participants were 120 parenting women enrolled in an opioid treatment program between 2013 and 2016 in Philadelphia, PA. The MBP intervention included weekly 2-h MBP group sessions over 12 weeks, including three dyadic sessions with their child. The main outcomes of this study include the five facets of RE-AIM: Reach, Effectiveness, Adoption, Implementation, and Maintenance. Results The MBP intervention was associated with improvements in parenting across participants. Data showed implementation and sustainability are contingent upon a strong multidisciplinary team and clinical staff support and “buy-in”. Iterative adaptations of interventions used in the general population may be necessary when working with a traumatized population burdened by low literacy levels, trauma history and co-occurring disorders. Conclusions MBP is a feasible and effective intervention for improving parenting and dyadic attachment between women with opioid use disorder and their children, and may be useful for other programs that serve parenting women with substance use disorders.

What is already known on this subject? Parenting is challenged in women who are in medication assisted treatment for opioid use disorder, with limited resources and interventions available to support a healthy relationship with their child. What this study adds? The RE-AIM evaluation of the trauma-adapted Mindfulness Based Parenting Intervention identifies the necessary supports and resources to implement the model
