GroupInterventionDescription
Wiidookaage'win Facebook GroupWiidookaage'win Facebook GroupThe Wiidookaage'win Facebook Group is an online, asynchronous group intervention that will run for 3-months with approximately 30 days of content developed. It is private and hidden, meaning only those in the study will be able to see or find the group. It will be moderated by two women from the study team (one AIAN and one biracial). A back-up moderator will also have access to the group. Participants will be able to comment, react, view, and post in the intervention group, and are encouraged to interact with one another.
Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Feasibility of Facebook Intervention3 months

The study team will measure the feasibility from the combined reports of recruitment, study retention, level of Facebook intervention uptake/engagement, and treatment satisfaction.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Timeline Follow-back Interview and UDS to measure Opioid Abstinence6 months

The study team will explore the preliminary differential impact of the intervention compared with the control condition on opioid abstinence and MOUD continuation. Opioid and other substance use will be assessed through monthly Timeline Follow-Back (TLFB) interviews (Sobell \& Sobell, 1992; Wray et al., 2016). At 1, 3, and 6-months, the study team will obtain a UDS that will be used along with the TLFB interviews to measure opioid abstinence.

Reporting MOUD continuation6 months

The study team will summarize MOUD continuation as the proportion of participants reporting current use at 6-month follow-up.
