What this trial measures
- Organizational readiness to implement changeMonths 18, 24, 30, 36, 42, 48, 54, & 60
12-items that assess perceived readiness to implement new innovations that will be administered to 15 OFR team members and 5 system leaders per each of 18 counties.
- Cultural Exchange Inventory (adapted to evaluate OFR team alliance)Months 18, 24, 30, 36, 42, 48, 54, & 60
15-items that measure knowledge and attitudes between organizations that will be administered to 15 OFR team members and 5 system leaders per each of 18 counties.
- Harm reduction acceptability scaleMonths 18, 24, 30, 36, 42, 48, 54, & 60
25-items that measures the adoption of a harm reduction approach in responding to people who use substances that will be administered to 15 OFR team members and 5 system leaders per each of 18 counties.
- Systems Usability ScaleMonths 18, 24, 30, 36, 42, 48, 54, & 60
10-items that assesses the usability of dashboard for OFRs that will be administered to 15 OFR team members and 5 system leaders per each of 18 counties.
- Stages of Implementation Completion (SIC)Baseline through study completion, an average of 5 years
The SIC is a measure of implementation process fidelity and allows for continuous measurement of implementation success. The SIC is an observation-based assessment tool that qualitatively measures intervention implementation process and fidelity. Assessment of the SIC results will be ongoing across the intervention time period and into sustainment.
- OFR Fidelity ToolMonths 18-54
To be developed fidelity assessment tool that will be completed by each OFR facilitator after a monthly meeting.
- Dashboard Aggregate UsageMonths 14-54
Web Cookies and anonymized IDs for each unique user to track dashboard usage that will be tracked on an on-going basis. Dr. Reda will review results monthly.
- Organization's implementation climate (adapted to evaluate overdose prevention strategies)Months 18, 24, 30, 36, 42, 48, 54, & 60
18-items that assesses the degree to which the climate is supportive of adopting new innovations that will be administered to 15 OFR team members and 5 system leaders per each of 18 counties.
- Quality OFR RecommendationsMonths 14-54
OFR team recommendations will be gathered monthly. We will be coding the quality of OFR team recommendations using the coding system that we developed in phase 1 of our FORTRESS project. This measure involves qualitative assessments of whether a recommendation meets certain standards of quality. The qualitative coding will be conducted by research staff in a digital spreadsheet.
- Uptake of OFR InterventionsMonths 14-54
OFR team recommendations will be gathered monthly. Uptake of an intervention will be defined as implementation of the recommendation. OFR team overdose prevention recommendations will be coded for uptake (whether or not they were implemented). This measure involves quantitative assessment of the incidence of uptake.
- OverdoseMonth 35-40 (interim) and month 53-57 (final)
Mortality data is collected via death certificates that are submitted by county coroners to the IDOH Division of Vital Records, which include information on underlying cause of Death. Data will include all fatal accidental drug overdose deaths (X40-X44).
