What this trial studies

This project aims to enhance the effectiveness and scalability of digital training for Community Reinforcement And Family Training (CRAFT) targeted at professionals working with families impacted by opioid use disorder (OUD). It involves optimizing a digital training product based on feedback and conducting a randomized control trial comparing three levels of digital training. Participants will be assessed on their knowledge, fidelity to CRAFT, and the impact on treatment entry and retention over a 12-week period. The study seeks to demonstrate the efficacy of digital training in improving counselor skills and client outcomes.
