Enhancing Recovery Capital Amid Opioid Use Disorder Pharmacotherapy
This study is testing two different ways to connect people receiving buprenorphine treatment for opioid use disorder (OUD) to recovery support services. One group will receive "Recovery Community Center Linkage (RCCL)", where a coach helps them connect directly with a recovery community center. The other group will receive a "Control Condition (CC)", where a coach provides general information and a brochure about recovery resources. The study wants to see if the RCCL approach is practical, acceptable to participants, and if it shows early signs of being helpful. You might be able to join if you are 18 or older, have an OUD diagnosis, are currently receiving buprenorphine treatment at Massachusetts General Hospital, and live in Massachusetts. The study is currently unclear on its recruitment status and plans to enroll 145 participants.
- Study design
- This is an interventional study, meaning participants will receive a specific intervention. It is a pilot randomized controlled trial, which means participants will be randomly assigned to one of the two groups being tested.
- What's involved
- Not specified in the trial record.
- Compensation
- Not stated in the trial record.
- Follow-up
- The study will assess intervention feasibility for up to 48 months and linkage manager adherence for up to 36 months.

What this trial measures
- Overall recruitment feasibilityThrough study completion, ~3 years from recruitment initiation
Number of participants successfully recruited within allotted recruitment time frame (\~3 years)
- Overall intervention feasibilityFrom the date of intervention manual finalization until the date of study completion, assessed up to 48 months
Assessed via the Feasibility: Intervention Implementation \& Training scale average total score. This is a 2-item instrument to assess perceived intervention feasibility. Items are measured on a 6-point Likert scale (Strongly Disagree-Strongly Agree). Score is the calculated mean. Higher scores indicate greater feasibility.
- Fidelity: Linkage manager adherenceFrom date of first linkage manager meeting until the date of last linkage manager meeting, assessed up to 36 months
Percent adherence of linkage managers to intervention protocols, as evaluated by the percentage of sessions that are scored with adequate adherence and assessed by recordings of intervention delivery and adherence evaluation materials developed as part of Aim 1 (e.g., adherence rating scales of critical topics). This is a 14-item instrument evaluating the extensiveness of linkage managers' delivery of critical intervention topics. Items are measured on a 5-point Likert scale (Not at all - Extensively). Score is the calculated mean. Total scores range from 1 to 5, with scores \> 3 indicating adequate adherence.
- Overall intervention acceptabilityMonth 1
Assessed via 1 single-item statement addressing the the acceptability of the intervention. The item is measured on a 6-point Likert scale (Strongly Disagree - Strongly Agree). Higher scores indicate greater acceptability.
- Overall intervention satisfactionMonth 1
Assessed via the Client Satisfaction Questionnaire-8 (CSQ8) total score. This is an 8 item measure of client satisfaction with services. Total scores range from 8 to 32, with higher scores indicating greater satisfaction.
- Recovery community center attendanceFrom the date of linkage manager meeting until the date of month-3 follow up, assessed up to 3 months
Percent of participants who attended a recovery community center 1+ time post linkage manager meeting, as assessed via the Timeline Follow Back
- Use of recovery support servicesFrom the date of linkage manager meeting until the date of month-3 follow up, assessed up to 3 months
Percent days use of any recovery support services post linkage manager meeting, as assessed via the Timeline Follow Back
