Summary
This project will further develop and test the Tailored Telephone Intervention delivered by
Peers to Prevent Recurring Opioid Overdoses (TTIP-PRO), a promising, low-cost, intervention
to facilitate entry into medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals experiencing a
non-fatal opioid overdoses (OOD). A prior small-scale pilot/feasibility study of TTIP-PRO
(NCT02282306) found that the participating patients and the Peer Interventionists were
satisfied with their participation, the intervention was acceptable, and the system for
generating patient-tailored intervention information performed well. The overall goal of the
present study is to conduct a pilot randomized controlled trial of TTIP-PRO versus a control
group. It is hypothesized that patients in the TTIP-PRO group will have more favorable
drug-abuse-related outcomes than patients in the control group.
