Youth Overdose & Use Reduction in Rural Systems
Sponsor: Seattle Children's Hospital
Summary
The goal of this study is to conduct a clinical trial to understand effects of providing multilevel intervention to young people in the legal system. The multilevel intervention includes flexible care management using ACRA/ACC principles, family support, and overdose education. This study aims to test the implementation strategy, as well as the outcomes of the intervention with participants. The first question the study will address is how successful was implementation. This will be measured by the number of youth receiving case management, family support, naloxone supplies, and overdose prevention curricula, and adoption by the participating county court systems. The second question the study will address is whether the intervention impacted youth behavioral outcomes, such as overdose risk awareness, knowledge of how to use naloxone, and number of days per month using substances. Researchers will compare youth who received the intervention to youth who received usual treatment to see if the intervention increases overdose risk awareness and knowledge, and decreases frequency of substance use. Participants will receive the intervention (if assigned to) and complete study surveys. Participating counties will provide data on implementation, and site visits will also be performed to track each county's performance.
