Summary

This study aims to test a remotely delivered IOP program ("SmartIOP") for OUD patients who are hospitalized for serious injection-related infections. This will be a pilot trial to assess the feasibility of the IOP program and examine OUD-related outcomes following discharge from the hospital.

Detailed description

The aim is to conduct a single-arm pilot study of 20 participants who are hospitalized for serious injection-related infections to complete the newly tailored program. The intervention to be developed and tested has two components: 1) the remotely delivered IOP ("Smart IOP"), and 2) a peer recovery coach who will provide support and accountability to the participant. The feasibility of the intervention will be established by evaluating recruitment and the acceptability of the program according to a priori benchmarks. The study team will assess the program's preliminary efficacy by evaluating OUD-related outcomes for up to 28 days after discharge from the hospital. The study will be conducted at Brigham and Women's Hospital (BWH), an urban, 793-bed academic medical center located in Boston, MA, and a major teaching hospital for Harvard Medical School.

Conditions

• Opioid Use Disorder
• Serious Bacterial Infections

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
BEHAVIORAL	Smart IOP Intervention	Smart IOP is a remotely delivered IOP program in operation since 2016, allowing patients to complete addiction treatment entirely online. The original program, consisting of 72 video modules across 8 different topics, will be adapted and tailored to hospitalized patients with serious infections from injection drug use. Participants will watch video content asynchronously, and will be required to correctly answer knowledge questions to proceed to the next module. The whole treatment program will require approximately 4 weeks to complete. Participants are also asked to answer questions about how to apply the knowledge to their own personal circumstances. The answers to these are reviewed by the peer recovery coach during weekly encounters. Videos can be viewed at a time that is most convenient to the participants. T
BEHAVIORAL	Peer Recovery Coach	Peer recovery coach, an individual in sustained recovery (\>5 years) and certified to be a coach, will meet weekly with the participant to review progress, answer questions about the videos, review answers to questions, and encourage continuation of treatment after discharge. These meetings will occur in-person or remotely.
