Communities That HEAL
The Communities That HEAL (CTH) intervention is a community-engaged intervention designed to increase the adoption of an integrated set of evidence-based practices delivered across healthcare, behavioral health, justice, and other community-based settings. It includes 3 components: community engagement to assist key stakeholders in applying evidence-based practices to addressing their opioid crisis, a menu of evidence-based practices for communities to select and implement, and a communications campaign to build demand for evidence-based practices to address overdose and opioid use disorder.
Wait-list control
Communities in the wait-list control condition will continue usual care during the first 30 months of the trial. At month 31, Wave 2 communities will begin receiving the CTH intervention.
