What this trial studies
This observational study aims to collect long-term data on adults with opioid use disorder (OUD) who previously participated in clinical trials. Participants will complete monthly online surveys and annual phone assessments regarding their substance use, mental health, and treatment involvement. The goal is to better understand the recovery process over time and improve interventions for individuals with OUD. The study will utilize electronic data collection methods to ensure consistent follow-up and comprehensive data gathering.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates are adults who have previously participated in specific clinical trials related to opioid use disorder and are within 24 months of their last assessment.
Not a fit: Patients currently incarcerated or unable to communicate effectively for consent or assessments may not benefit from this study.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could provide valuable insights into the long-term recovery patterns of individuals with opioid use disorder, leading to improved treatment strategies.
How similar studies have performed: Other studies have successfully utilized longitudinal observational methods to track recovery outcomes in substance use disorders, indicating a promising approach.
