SUPPORT Group
Subjects enrolled in the intervention. SUPPORT clients will be offered 12 months of support service with a recovery coach. The recovery coach will guide the client through their recovery, offering guidance and support, while coordinating their treatment services, including support services. The program will provide clients with up to $700 worth of vouchers to cover the cost of additional flexible support services over the 12 months of program enrollment, which will be personalized to fit the needs of the client. These cost vouchers will cover support services, such as housing, employment services, substance use treatment, transportation, childcare, educational or vocational services, or aftercare planning. The costs of each service is determined by the service provider. Further, the recovery coach will assist the client in choosing appropriate services and coordinating/monitoring service completion.

Timeframe: Baseline - 6 months

Population: Note that analysis was limited to subjects with available data at both time points.

Stages of Change, Readiness, and Treatment Eagerness Scale (SOCRATES) is a 19-item instrument that measures readiness to change behaviors related to substance use, using a 5 point scale 1 (Strongly Disagree), 2 (Disagree), 3 (Undecided), 4 (Agree), 5 (Strongly Agree). This measure is best used to assess stages of change at baseline; subsequent changes might not be clinically relevant. Subscales: 1. Recognition: A higher score indicates acknowledgement of the problem, possible harm, desires change. (Range: 7-35) 2. Ambivalence: A higher score reflects openness to reflection on drug use. A lower score may mean they "know" their drug use is causing problems (high Recognition), or they "know" that they do not have drug use problems (low Recognition). Thus, a low Ambivalence score should be interpreted in relation to the Recognition score. (Range: 4-20) 3. Taking steps: A higher score means steps have been taken, and they may already be experiencing success. (Range: 8-40)

Using the 4-item Current Quality of Life Scale, we measured an individual's perceived general physical and mental health during the past 30 days. Self-perception of current physical and mental health is indicative of a person's current health and future health outcomes. The general assessment of health has been shown to be both a solid measure of self-reported health and a powerful predictor of mortality and morbidity. One of the four items requests participants to report on their general health, with a scale of (1) excellent, (2) very good, (3) good, (4) fair, (5) poor.

Using the 4-item Current Quality of Life Scale, we measured an individual's perceived general physical and mental health during the past 30 days. Self-perception of current physical and mental health is indicative of a person's current health and future health outcomes. The general assessment of health has been shown to be both a solid measure of self-reported health and a powerful predictor of mortality and morbidity. One of the four items requests participants to report on their general health, with a scale of (1) excellent, (2) very good, (3) good, (4) fair, (5) poor.

Incarceration was measured through publicly available data on arrests, convictions, and periods of incarceration in Indiana. We searched each name in state prison and county jail records and identified them as incarcerated if their name appeared in the jail or prison data during the 12 month study window of their enrollment. Note: At baseline, we confirmed with our community partner that each participant had been in prison or jail, or on work release, within the past 3 months. However, this did not match the publicly available data, indicating that the available data is likely incomplete.

The Self-Determination Scale (SDS) assesses individual differences in the extent to which people tend to function in a self-determined way. It is considered a relatively enduring aspect of people's personalities which reflects being more aware of their feelings and sense of self and feeling a sense of choice with respect to their behavior. The SDS is a 10-item scale, with two 5-item subscales: (1) awareness of oneself and (2) perceived choice in one's actions. We utilized only the second scale on perceived choice. These 5-items present respondents with 2 statements: Statement (A) indicates more choice and Statement (B) indicates less choice. Respondents answer on a five point scale: 1 "Only A feels true", 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 "Only B feels true." For perceived choice, the 5 items are reverse scored so that higher scores on every item will indicate a higher level of self-determination. Range: (5-25)

Using the General Self Efficacy Scale, we measured an individual's belief about whether problems or barriers can be confronted and addressed with a successful outcome. This scale can be used to determine how the respondent copes with daily hassles and adapts to stressful life events. Self-efficacy is indicative of subsequent behavior and can be used for clinical practice and psychological research. The 10-item instrument uses a 4-point scale, ranging from 1 (not at all true) to 4 (exactly true), so the composite score ranges from 10 to 40 with higher score indicating greater self-efficacy.

The Social Networks tool is an interviewer-administered questionnaire to assess whom respondents depend on for help in important general matters and specific health matters. This measure captures each of the respondent's network members and a complete assessment of network structure to construct the respondent's social network and whom they rely on for help with health-related and other matters. Respondents identify individuals who make up their social networks. Each individual is identified as an alter, and alters are totaled to determine network size.

The Social Networks tool is an interviewer-administered questionnaire to assess whom respondents depend on for help in important general matters and specific health matters. This measure captures each of the respondent's network members and a complete assessment of network structure to construct the respondent's social network and whom they rely on for help with health-related and other matters. Network closeness refers to the closeness of the participant's network (i.e. how close the alters identified are to one another). After identifying alters within their network, respondents are asked to identify how close each alter is to one another using a 3-point scale: (1) Very close, (2) Sort of close, (3) Not very close. Thus, for each original alter pair, the respondent scores their closeness on a range of 1 to 3. A lower score indicates a stronger network.

SUPPORT Group
n=16 Participants
Subjects enrolled in the intervention. SUPPORT clients will be offered 12 months of support service with a recovery coach. The recovery coach will guide the client through their recovery, offering guidance and support, while coordinating their treatment services, including support services. The program will provide clients with up to $700 worth of vouchers to cover the cost of additional flexible support services over the 12 months of program enrollment, which will be personalized to fit the needs of the client. These cost vouchers will cover support services, such as housing, employment services, substance use treatment, transportation, childcare, educational or vocational services, or aftercare planning. The costs of each service is determined by the service provider. Further, the recovery coach will assist the client in choosing appropriate services and coordinating/monitoring service completion.

This component focuses on the closeness of the participants network (i.e. how close the alters identified are to one another). After identifying alters within their network, respondents are asked to identify how close each alter is to one another using a 3-point scale: (1) Very close, (2) Sort of close, (3) Not very close. Thus, for each alter pair, the respondent scores their closeness on a range of 1 to 3, with a lower score indicating more closeness. Below is the difference in the network closeness. The range for this scale will differ, depending on the number of alters identified.
