Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The focus of this study is to assess the effect on Peer Recovery Support Service providers of the fully asynchronous training platform (TDPP) and the TDPP with live zoom sessions on skill and adherence compared with training-as-usual.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Thrive Digital Health ("TDH") is developing a novel Peer Recovery Support Services ("PRSS") training platform (the "TDPP") to standardize and scale the training of Peer Recovery Supporters. TDH was founded by the principals of two successful existing companies at the forefront of advancing PRSS, and benefits from the expertise of its CEO, who in addition to serving on the board of the Peer Recovery Center of Excellence, is a nationally recognized thought leader on PRSS training and implementation. The overarching goal of this Fasttrack project is to develop and test an evidence-based platform that will extend standards-based and empirically-supported Peer Recovery Support Services training and implementation across the country. Success in this endeavor will expand access to support services for recovery from alcohol and other substance use disorders, and help to address critical care gaps stemming from the treatment provider shortage currently impacting the nation. We hypothesize that this scalable platform, used by PRSS Trainers and Trainees, will be acceptable, feasible and usable, and will deliver a positive effect in terms of knowledge gain, adherence and skill in Phase I. In Phase II of this Fasttrack effort, we hypothesize that this platform will deliver superior training results among PRSS trainees in terms of adherence and skill versus training-as-usual. Our priority commercial goal is to bring this solution to market with organizations around the country seeking to build PRSS capacity, and we will accomplish this through the following Phase II specific aims: (1) Assess the effect on PRSS providers of the fully asynchronous TDPP and the TDPP with live zoom sessions on skill and adherence compared with training-as-usual; (2) Assess the effect of adding three live, interactive group teleconferencing sessions to the TDPP asynchronous content; (3) Conduct a pre-post study with a pilot population of PRSS provider trainees from another state to assess fidelity of implementation when content is localized for another state. The expected impact of this project is to substantially enhance TDH's ability to deliver effective PRSS training at scale, expanding access to recovery support services across the country. This capability holds promise to reduce negative health impacts at both an individual and societal level while reducing the total cost of providing treatment services.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Training as Usual

Participants receive the standard, state-approved Connecticut Community on Addiction Recovery PRSS training program. No digital content or enhancements are provided.

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Training-as-Usual (TAU)

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

Participants receive the standard Peer Recovery Supporter (PRS) training currently offered by CCAR. This training follows existing certification requirements and does not include any digital modules or facilitated teleconferencing components.

TDPP-A (Asynchronous Only)

Participants access the Thrive Digital Peer Platform (TDPP) in fully asynchronous format. Content is self-paced, structured into 11 "Journeys" using the Connect → Grow → Apply model, and includes interactive modules and peer-led stories. No live facilitation is included.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

TDPP-A (Asynchronous Platform)

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

Participants engage with the Thrive Digital Peer Platform (TDPP), a fully asynchronous, self-paced online training program. The content includes 11 interactive modules structured using the Connect → Grow → Apply (CGA) learning framework, featuring peer stories, behavioral exercises, and scenario-based assessments.

TDPP-Z (Asynchronous + Zoom)

Participants use the TDPP asynchronous platform and also attend three live, facilitator-led group Zoom sessions designed to enhance skill development, application, and peer interaction. This hybrid model integrates digital learning with synchronous coaching.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

TDPP-Z (Asynchronous + Zoom)

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

Participants use the same asynchronous TDPP platform as the TDPP-A group, with the addition of three live, facilitator-led Zoom sessions. These synchronous group sessions provide opportunities for applied learning, discussion, and skill reinforcement.
