SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Cost of 1-month intervention --- could not address this outcome

Population: No data collected to evaluate the cost of the intervention. Because of COVID-19 and the change in intervention delivery (extended from 1month to 3 months mobile intervention and home-type delivery of intervention), we have been unable to collect data to generate the cost of the intervention.

Cost evaluation of the mobile intervention using data collected with the DATCAP (Drug Abuse Treatment Cost Analysis Program) and NMOS (Non-Medical and Other Services) -- Unable to collect data to address this outcome
