What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Wiidookaage'win Facebook GroupBehavioural
An online social media group program that incorporates social support, mindfulness-based, and cultural practices that may support OUD recovery.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Wiidookaage'win Facebook Group | Experimental | The Wiidookaage'win Facebook Group is an online, asynchronous group intervention that will run for 3-months with approximately 30 days of content developed. It is private and hidden, meaning only those in the study will be able to see or find the group. It will be moderated by two women from the study team (one AIAN and one biracial). A back-up moderator will also have access to the group. Participants will be able to comment, react, view, and post in the intervention group, and are encouraged to interact with one another. Receives: Behavioral: Wiidookaage'win Facebook Group |
| Online Resources Landing Page | No intervention | The Online Resources Landing Page was developed by the study team using https://carrd.co. It includes links to local programs in family services, substance use recovery, legal advocacy, etc. which already exist and may help support their recovery. |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Feasibility of Facebook Intervention
The study team will measure the feasibility from the combined reports of recruitment, study retention, level of Facebook intervention uptake/engagement, and treatment satisfaction.
Measured: 3 months
Secondary outcomes (2)
Timeline Follow-back Interview and UDS to measure Opioid Abstinence
The study team will explore the preliminary differential impact of the intervention compared with the control condition on opioid abstinence and MOUD continuation. Opioid and other substance use will be assessed through monthly Timeline Follow-Back (TLFB) interviews (Sobell \& Sobell, 1992; Wray et al., 2016). At 1, 3, and 6-months, the study team will obtain a UDS that will be used along with the TLFB interviews to measure opioid abstinence.
Measured: 6 months
Reporting MOUD continuation
The study team will summarize MOUD continuation as the proportion of participants reporting current use at 6-month follow-up.
Measured: 6 months
