Official title
Efficacy and Implementation Considerations for a Peer-led Motivational Interviewing Intervention to Promote Uptake of Drug Checking Services and Safe Drug Use Behaviors to Reduce Overdose
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
A hybrid type 1 study will be conducted to evaluate efficacy and preliminary implementation considerations for a novel intervention to promote uptake of drug checking services (DCS) and safer drug use behaviors among people who use drugs (PWUD) to reduce incidence of overdose (OD) and HIV and Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infections in San Diego County. Approximately 50 syringe services programs (SSPs) in the US now offer advanced drug checking services using test strips (TS) and Fourier Transform Infrared Spectrometry (FTIR), allowing people to submit drug samples with non-nominal identifiers and obtain personalized results. While most existing FTIRs offer some counseling, no theory-based interventions to increase FTIR uptake and promote post-FTIR adoption of safer drug use behaviors have been rigorously evaluated.
