For Parents

Participate in Research

The Pregnancy, Postpartum, and Parenting Engagement Resource Center (PERC) invites individuals impacted by substance use disorders (SUD) to participate in research focused on improving treatment access, engagement in treatment, recovery supports, and outcomes for parents. Participants contribute valuable insights that help shape policies and support resources for pregnant, postpartum, and parenting individuals affected by SUD.

 

Your participation helps advance research dedicated to supporting parents with SUD, contributing to a compassionate, informed approach to treatment and recovery.
