简要总结
This study will fully develop and implement an interactive text messaging intervention system for individuals sentenced to DTC. Upon completion of programming and testing of messages the investigators will enroll 40 participants and randomize participant to a control condition (TAU Group) or the intervention condition (TXS Group). Assessments will occur at enrollment, and day 30 follow up.
详细描述
This study builds on pilot work in which Live Inspired LLC and research partners, have a history of collaboration in the development, revision, and evaluation of web-based and mobile phone technologies to promote behavior change. For this project the investigators will fully develop and implement an interactive text messaging intervention system for individuals sentenced to DTC who are entering the program, at which time participants are expected to begin addressing underlying issues related to their addiction, and during which time participants are highly vulnerable to relapse and noncompliance with mandated activities. Outcomes will include participation in and compliance with Court-mandated appointments, abstinence from drug use (measured by urine testing), participation in substance abuse treatment, participation in education/employment training programs, and participation in related programs and workshops as directed by the Court. Data will be collected directly from Court records using a database established by the participating courts for this study.
