Abstract Details

2021, Doctor of Education, Miami University, Educational Leadership.
Longitudinal data on the long-term effects of prenatal opioid exposure (POE) is sparse, and studies on educational interventions for children with POE are virtually inexistent. Parents raising children with POE were recruited from social media platforms: 56 parents participated in interviews and 116 responded to surveys. Questions focused on the child’s development (including early delays, medical diagnoses, behavioral and mental health struggles, and educational performance) as well as on parents' experiences coordinating with schools and with medical and therapeutic providers. Quantitative results were analyzed in SPSS, and qualitative results were analyzed in the coding software Dedoose. Overall, parents of children with POE reported high rates of mental health, behavior, and neurological problems in their children. The children were more likely to be enrolled in therapies and more likely to have additional medical needs. Parents described their difficulties finding information, troubles advocating for their child, and issues coordinating with schools and health-care providers.
