简要总结
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 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.
详细描述
The primary objective of the proposed Phase I work is to determine the feasibility of delivering Community Reinforcement And Family Training (CRAFT) principles via scalable digital coaching methods and determine its efficacy based on measured outcomes.
Technical Objectives 1. Modify the WTV platform to produce a CRAFT-informed automated prototype and protocol for live coaching.
Technical Objectives 2. Test prototype usability and reliability to deliver the protocol, and make any refinements needed.
Technical Objectives 3. Demonstrate prototype efficacy. Testing three digital scenarios: A. Automated CRAFT, B. CRAFT Coach, C. Peer support, the current WTV platform interaction.
As a result, when tested at baseline versus post-intervention, CRAFT conditions (Coach and Automated) are expected to achieve better outcomes than the peer condition in a) treatment entry, b) Concerned Significant Others (CSO) health and wellbeing, c) CSO and identified patient relationship, d) CRAFT adeptness.

盲法说明
The participants will know what group they are in. When we send the data to the statistician for analysis we can code the groups (e.g., 123) and not tell them which is which. This masks (or blinds) him to the condition.

研究组 & 干预措施
CRAFT-A
Participants assigned to the CRAFT-A will have access to a 12-module on-line CRAFT intervention and asked to complete one module weekly for 12 weeks. Modules introduce CRAFT concepts and provide workbooks to assist participants in learning and applying the concepts. The modules include: 1)Introduction to CRAFT; 2) Communication Training; 3) Functional Analysis of Drug Using; 4) Positive Reinforcement; 5) Withdrawing Reinforcement; 6) Allowing Natural Consequences; 7) Problem-solving; 8) Life Enrichment; 9) Suggesting Treatment; 10) Recovery and Relapse; 11) Relationship; and 12) Recap of Skills.
CRAFT-A participants also attend a weekly 60-minute online group sessions facilitated by a CRAFT-certified coach. During weekly group sessions concepts are briefly reviewed, questions are answered, and skills are practiced through role-plays of common situations.
干预措施: Community Reinforcement And Family Training (CRAFT) (Behavioral)
CRAFT-C
Participants assigned to the CRAFT-C groups will have access to a 12-module on-line CRAFT intervention and asked to complete one module weekly for 12 weeks. Modules introduce CRAFT concepts and provide workbooks to assist participants in learning and applying the concepts. The modules include: 1) Introduction to CRAFT; 2) Communication Training; 3) Functional Analysis of Drug Using; 4) Positive Reinforcement; 5) Withdrawing Reinforcement; 6) Allowing Natural Consequences; 7) Problem-solving; 8) Life Enrichment; 9) Suggesting Treatment; 10) Recovery and Relapse; 11) Relationship; and 12) Recap of Skills.
CRAFT-C participants attend a weekly 60-minute individualized on-on-one coaching session with a CRAFT certified coach. During weekly individual sessions concepts are briefly reviewed, questions are answered, and skills are practiced through role-plays of common situations. One-on-one sessions involve role-plays that are tailored to the participants' specific circumstances
干预措施: Community Reinforcement And Family Training (CRAFT) (Behavioral)
PEER
Participants assigned to the PEER group will participate in an online peer support forum with other CSOs.
Members of the forum post questions or comments to weekly peer-led discussions and receive responses and feedback from other CSO forum members. Members typically express concerns regarding their IP's wellbeing and ask other members to share any strategies they have employed when dealing with their IPs. Interactions typically, are based either in 12-Step strategies members have learned (usually through Al-Anon or Nar-Anon Family Groups or Family Training Workshops provided by treatment programs) or in CRAFT skills learned (usually from treatment programs or other We The Village members). A staff member from We The Village monitors forum interactions to ensure members are interacting respectfully. This individual also will report any adverse or severe adverse events that members mention online.

结局指标
主要结局
Treatment Entry: IP Treatment Status
时间窗: 3-month post study
Participants reported whether their loved one had attended any treatment for their opioid problem since the last assessment by answering 8 questions regarding participation in treatment (e.g., detox, any treatment, new treatment, MAT, new MAT, counseling, support group, and other group). Reports of new treatment, new MAT, and treatment at the follow-up assessment which were not reported at baseline were categorized as treatment entry. In addition, entry into WTV recovery coaching, WTV family coaching, or reports of treatment entry to WTV staff were categorized as treatment entry. Outcome was the proportion of participants reporting that their loved one entered new treatment.
