LINCS UP: RCT Trial Summary

This trial tests whether providing peer recovery coaches to people in the ED can help them access recovery resources and reduce overdose risk.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults over 18 who visit the emergency department during certain hours, score moderately to severely on a drug abuse screening test, are sober enough to consent, speak English, and can be contacted reliably. It's not for prisoners, previous participants, those already in recovery programs or if too unstable medically or mentally.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests two methods of peer recovery coaching (PRC) against usual care for substance use disorders. One group gets in-person PRC with resource linkage; another has telemedicine-based PRC; the third receives standard care lists without direct support. Follow-ups occur at 7, 30, and 90 days post-enrollment.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves counseling interventions rather than medications there may not be traditional side effects but participants might experience emotional discomfort or distress due to discussions about their substance use.

LINCS UP: RCT Trial Design

3Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Active Control
Group I: Telemedicine-based peer recovery coaching with linkage to recovery resourcesExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
PRCs will meet patients via a tablet-based video call (telemedicine). They will also schedule and perform follow up calls after the participant is discharged from the ED to provide ongoing support and facilitate re-linkage to recovery resources, if needed. Follow-up data collection on day 7, 30, 90 post discharge.
Group II: In-person peer recovery coaching with linkage to recovery resourcesExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
PRCs will meet patients at bedside (in person). They will also schedule and perform follow up calls after the participant is discharged from the ED to provide ongoing support and facilitate re-linkage to recovery resources, if needed. Follow-up data collection on day 7, 30, 90 post discharge.
Group III: Usual CareActive Control1 Intervention
Participants in the usual care arm will be provided with a list of community recovery resources. No callbacks or re-linkage to recovery resources. Follow-up data collection on day 7, 30, 90 post discharge.
