What this research studies
This research focuses on enhancing recovery support services for high-risk young adults aged 16-25 who are involved with public systems or the justice system and struggle with opioid use disorder. It aims to develop actionable research that can lead to better support systems and interventions tailored to these vulnerable populations. By collaborating with communities and utilizing community-based participatory research methods, the project seeks to address the unique challenges faced by these individuals and improve their recovery outcomes.
Who could benefit from this research
Good fit: Ideal candidates for this research are young adults aged 16-25 who are involved with public systems or the justice system and are experiencing opioid use disorder.
Not a fit: Patients outside the age range of 16-25 or those not involved with public systems or the justice system may not benefit from this research.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this research could lead to more effective recovery support services that significantly improve the lives of young adults struggling with opioid use disorder.
How similar studies have performed: While there is limited rigorous research on recovery support services for these populations, the approach of community-based participatory research has shown promise in other areas of public health.
