Intervening on Opioid Use and Loneliness
{ "Intervening on Opioid Use and Loneliness", "This study is looking for 300 people who have opioid use disorder and also feel lonely or disconnected. It aims to see if different approaches can help reduce both loneliness and opioid use. You would be assigned to one of three groups: Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy for Perceived Social Isolation (a type of talk therapy focused on feelings of loneliness), therapist-delivered Health Education, or self-guided Health Education. Researchers will measure changes in loneliness and how often opioids are used over six months to see which approach works best. This study is currently recruiting participants.", "design": "This is an interventional study where 300 participants will be randomly assigned to one of three treatment groups.", "commitments": "You would participate in 6 weekly sessions, each lasting 40-60 minutes. You would also have assessments before, immediately after, and 1, 3, and 6 months following the treatment.", "compensation": "Not stated in the trial record.", "follow_up": "Participants will be followed for 6 months after completing the treatment.", }

What this trial measures
- Mean change in lonelinessBaseline to 6 months
Loneliness will be measured using the UCLA Loneliness Scale. A 20-item scale designed to measure one's subjective feelings of loneliness as well as feelings of social isolation. Participants rate each item as 1 (never), 2 (rarely), 3 (sometimes) or 4 (often). The scores range from 20-80 with higher scores indicating worse outcome.
- Mean change in number of days of opioid useBaseline to 6 months
Participants will complete a calendar indicating the type and frequency of drug use.
