Summary

The overarching purpose of this pilot study is to investigate an increasingly common, but under-researched, practice of employing paraprofessional coaches to improve emerging adults' access to and engagement in evidence-based substance use practices, focusing on the paraprofessional coaches' outcomes and the role of lived experience.

Conditions

  • Substance-Related Disorders

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Contingency Management (CM) combined with vocational/educational coaching

Two evidence based practices, CM and vocational/educational coaching, will be combined and delivered by paraprofessional coaches in an intervention named PEERS (Peers Education Empowering Recovery Supports). CM uses positive reinforcement (e.g., chances to win prizes) for clients who abstain from substance use. A standardized and well-validated CM protocol will be used in the proposed study. Vocational/educational coaching assists individuals in completing educational and vocational goals. A workbook developed specifically for vocational/educational coaching in emerging adults will be used in the study.
