POST Trial Summary
This trial is studying three different ways to prevent people in the juvenile justice system from developing problems with opioids.

This trial is for young people aged 15-25 who are about to leave a detention facility or group home in Washington State within the next 5-7 months. They must be able to speak and understand English well enough to engage with the program and assessments, but can't join if they have moderate or severe Opioid Use Disorder or severe learning/mental health issues.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The POST Study tests two opioid use prevention programs tailored for youth transitioning from incarceration back into society. It compares different intensities of interventions like counseling techniques and educational workbooks designed to prevent opioid misuse among justice-involved youth.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since this study involves behavioral interventions and education rather than medication, traditional side effects are not expected. However, participants may experience emotional discomfort discussing substance use history during therapy sessions.
