The Incubator Channel · 25 Apr 2026 · 9 min
Summary
Dr Ward Rice presents two-year neurodevelopmental and behavioural follow-up data from the ACT NOW Eat, Sleep, Console trial, comparing infants exposed in utero to buprenorphine versus methadone. He explains why short-term advantages of buprenorphine did not translate into differences at two years, why both groups scored below population norms on Bayley testing, and how longer follow-up may inform prenatal and neonatal decision-making.
