Trial Outcomes & Findings for Smartphone Intervention for Overdose and COVID-19 (NCT NCT05518461)

NCT ID: NCT05518461

Last Updated: 2024-12-05

Results Overview

Study feasibility will be in part based on intervention content completion rates. The study will be considered feasible if participants complete any intervention content on at least 50% (i.e., 6) of the 12 weeks. We will report the number of participants who completed at least 6 of the 12 weeks.

Using Opioids or Stimulants While Alone
Average of the number of days opioids and stimulants were used while alone in the past 30 days.
Injection Drug Use and/or Speedballing
Average of the reported number of days of opioid injection, stimulant injection, opioid and stimulant use within a 6-hour time periods, and opioid and stimulant use at the same time within the past 30 days.
Opioid and Alcohol Use
Number of days that opioids and alcohol were used within a 6-hour time frame in the past 30 days.
Opioid and Benzodiazepine Use
Number of days that opioids and benzodiazepines were used within a 6-hour time frame in the past 30 days.
Content Completion Rate Assessed as Number of Participants Who Completed at Least 6 of the 12 Weeks of the Intervention
40 Participants

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: baseline, 3 months, 6 months

Population: Losses to follow-up occurred across study measurement timepoints.

Preliminary effectiveness will in part be measured by examining the number of days in the previous month endorsing overdose risk behaviors at months 3 and 6 (relative to baseline/study enrollment). Overdose risk behavior frequency will be assessed by participant self-report.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: baseline, 3 months, 6 months

Population: Losses to follow-up occurred at months 3 and 6, resulting in a different subgroup of participants included in each time point.

Preliminary effectiveness will in part be assessed by measuring the proportion of participants vaccinated against COVID-19 at baseline and at months 3 and 6.
