Abstract
PURPOSE: This community-based participatory research project explored the feasibility of delivering parenting and recovery supports through digital technology for mothers recovering from addictive substances. DESIGN AND METHODS: A community advisory board of key stakeholders (n = 7) served as a focus group of advisors to discuss needed supports. Data were analyzed through qualitative descriptive analysis. FINDINGS: Results revealed themes about challenges and supports needed, and whether supports delivered through digital technology may improve recovery and parenting. PRACTICE IMPLICATIONS: Future exploration needs to examine the extent to which the use of community-guided, tailored digital support applications that supplement prescribed treatment can enhance parenting and recovery.
