This trial is for adults over 18 living in CA, NV, AZ, OR, WA with moderate to severe opioid use disorder who use social media at least twice a week. Participants must speak English and be willing to create or have a Facebook/social media account to engage with the study's online support group.
What is being tested?
The HOPE intervention is being tested for its effectiveness in encouraging patients with opioid use disorder to start taking medications designed to treat their condition. The study will follow participants for up to one year and analyze data from an online community.
