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.
