About the trial
What the trial wants to find out
The purpose of the research is to check whether services and materials made available through a smartphone app are helpful to people who have been diagnosed with opioid use disorder (OUD). Participants are asked to use an app to submit videos of themselves taking salivary drug tests to a secure online system. The app includes reminders, rewards, and activities, as well as access to live support. Study participation lasts one year and includes about 30 minutes each week submitting videos, an hour-long interview to get started, and hour-long interviews once every three months after that over the course of the year.
The 2 groups in the trial
- Abstinence reinforcementTreatment being tested
Participants earn incentives for submission of salivary drug toxicology video selfies that show test results consistent with the goals of treatment. Goals are abstinence-based (i.e., relate to which tested substances should be negative on the test given the medications that the particular participant has been prescribed). Incentives are also provided for attendance at treatment-related appointments and for completion of self-paced cognitive behavior therapy modules available via the smartphone app.
Treatment: Contingency management, Cognitive-Behavior Therapy Modules, and Peer Contingency Management (CM) Guide
- Sample-contingent controlSham treatment, for comparison
Identical to the experimental group except that incentives are available only for submission of selfie-videos that show test results, without regard to the results of the salivary drug toxicology test. Similarly, incentives are not provided for appointments or completion of wellness modules.
Treatment: Drug testing, Wellness modules, and Peer technical support
