Treatment and study plan

Wiidookaage'win Facebook Group

Behavioral

An online social media group program that incorporates social support, mindfulness-based, and cultural practices that may support OUD recovery.

Primary outcomes

  1. Feasibility of Facebook Intervention

    Time frame: 3 months

    The study team will measure the feasibility from the combined reports of recruitment, study retention, level of Facebook intervention uptake/engagement, and treatment satisfaction.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Timeline Follow-back Interview and UDS to measure Opioid Abstinence

    Time frame: 6 months

    The study team will explore the preliminary differential impact of the intervention compared with the control condition on opioid abstinence and MOUD continuation. Opioid and other substance use will be assessed through monthly Timeline Follow-Back (TLFB) interviews (Sobell & Sobell, 1992; Wray et al., 2016). At 1, 3, and 6-months, the study team will obtain a UDS that will be used along with the TLFB interviews to measure opioid abstinence.

  2. Reporting MOUD continuation

    Time frame: 6 months

    The study team will summarize MOUD continuation as the proportion of participants reporting current use at 6-month follow-up.

Other outcomes

  1. Perceived Stress Scale and Communal Mastery Scale

    Time frame: 3 months

    The study team will explore the differential impact of the intervention compared with the control condition on constructs targeted by our intervention, specifically perceived stress and coping with stressful life circumstances from a more collectivist orientation, respectively.
