Trial Design

2Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Active Control
Group I: Adapted NAS tool InterventionExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Pregnant women in this condition will receive the adapted mobile-based NAS instructional tool and TAU. Women in this condition will go through the NAS instructional tool at least once during pregnancy, with their choice of going through the modules gradually while waiting at the OAT clinic to receive their dose, or by scheduling a time to review the modules. Participants will have free online access to the tool throughout their third trimester as well as through 12-weeks postpartum so they can access the modules at any time, and as many times as desired, including after giving birth.
Group II: Treatment-as-Usual (TAU)Active Control1 Intervention
Pregnant women in this condition will receive care as usual that involves continued enrollment in OAT and continued obstetric care. We will also provide them with a printed handout containing information on NAS and local resources. Participants in the TAU condition will not receive iPads with accompanying modules, however the handout constitutes more information than they normally receive.
