About the study
Youth are disproportionately affected by the current opioid crisis with catastrophic consequences, and young adults with opioid use disorder (OUD) often struggle with adherence to relapse prevention medications. The Youth Opioid Recovery Support (YORS) model is a promising, innovative, wrap-around approach that addresses barriers to medication adherence and treatment engagement in an effort to improve public health outcomes in this vulnerable young adult population. This study seeks to refine the YORS intervention through stakeholder input and pilot iterative testing followed by an efficacy randomized controlled trial. This project will significantly contribute to our knowledge base of practical strategies to address the opioid crisis.
