Summary

This study will provide longitudinal data for 6-months on a target sample of patients with Opioid Use Disorder (OUD) recruited from Prisma Health Mobile Health Clinics in South Carolina. The goal of our study is to increase OUD treatment initiation and retention and maximize prevention of overdose deaths in underserved communities through development, testing, and delivery of a novel intervention targeting areas of optimal allocation of MHC with a Peer Support Specialist (PSS) intervention.

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Certified Peer Support Specialist Intervention

Participants are recruited from mobile health clinics (MHC) delivered to communities using a predictive modeling framework to target areas for optimal MHC allocation to maximize prevention of overdose deaths. Patients randomized to the intervention arm are linked to a peer support specialist. Peer support specialists are Certified Peer Support Specialists (CPSS) who have lived experience with Opioid Use Disorder (OUD) and OUD recovery. Peer support specialists offer consistent personalized recovery support and generalized social support based on a peer support checklist. Peer support specialists will maintain contact and provide support for the participant for 6 months post-baseline, following a peer support manual.
