PROTOCOL: Investigating the Intersection of Parenting and Substance Use Recovery Identities: A Qualitative Scoping Review

ABSTRACT This is the protocol for a Campbell systematic review. The objectives are as follows: (1) What qualitative themes and sub‐themes characterize the experience of parenting and addiction recovery in parents who self‐identify as being in recovery or who are identified by the study authors as a sample in recovery (e.g., in the process/have resolved a SUD as indicated by stopping use of substances)? To what extent do these themes reveal how parents incorporate parenting and recovery identities as a core characteristic of oneself? (2) In what ways does gender shape the thematic evidence on how parenting identities intersect with recovery identities? (3) What are the barriers and facilitators for parents in accessing and utilizing addiction recovery services?
