Scalable Digital Delivery of Evidence-based Training for Addiction Professionals to Maximize Treatment Admission and Retention Rates of Opioid Use Disorder in Affected Families
The goal of this project is to develop and evaluate the technical feasibility and commercial viability of a scalable digital counselor training program for CRAFT.
This pilot project will develop an enhanced training model for CRAFT and digitize it to maximize scalability. In this project, investigators will:
Aim 1: Produce the digital counselor training prototype and coaching process, tailored to OUD - with stakeholder input.
Aim 2: Conduct a pilot study of 3 levels of digital training (Level 1 - Digital tutorial only [T]; Level 2 - Tutorial & digital training materials for self-study [TM]; Level 3 - Tutorial, digital materials, feedback and coaching [TMC]) to establish feasibility, acceptability, and examine the effects of training on CRAFT knowledge, fidelity, and treatment entry and retention.
SBIR Phase II: Scalable Digital Delivery of Evidence-based Training for Family to Maximize Treatment Admission Rates of Opioid Use Disorder in Loved Ones
The United States is in the midst of an opioid crisis. Over-prescription of opioid analgesic pain relievers contributed to a rapid escalation of use and misuse of these substances across the country. In 2016, more than 2.6 million Americans were diagnosed with opioid use disorder (OUD) and more than 42,000 have died of overdose involving opioids. This death rate is more than any year on record and has quadrupled since 1999 (1,2). Leveraging the potential of available data bases and health IT technologies may help to combat opioid crisis by targeting various aspects of the problem ranging from the prevention of opioid misuse to OUD treatment. NIH through NIDA solicits the research and development of data-driven solutions and services that focus on issues related to opioid use prevention, opioid use, opioid overdose prevention or OUD treatment.
In this project, We The Village, Inc. will address a need to prepare Concerned Significant Others (CSOs) to best use their influence over the trajectory of a loved one's OUD. CSOs are motivated to help, make majority of treatment decisions and payments and have influence over treatment entry and thus, impact the trajectory of an OUD.
The goal of the project is to establish the technical efficacy and commercial viability of CRAFT-A at scale by conducting the fully powered randomized controlled trial (RCT) comparing two online interventions: CRAFT-A (hereinafter referred to as CRAFT or digital CRAFT) and PEER support (the original comparison group). Based on Phase I findings, the team anticipates the CRAFT condition will achieve better outcomes than the PEER condition in a) treatment entry and retention, b) Concerned Significant Others' (CSO) health and wellbeing, c) CSO-IP relationship, and d) CRAFT knowledge.

The project goal is to develop digital delivery of Community Reinforcement And Family Training (CRAFT) methodology, an empirical family behavioral intervention to improve outcomes around treatment entry, family functioning and substance use.
