The University of Oregon (UO) has been awarded a $935,610 federal Project Grant from the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) under the Drug Use and Addiction Research Programs (CFDA 93.279). This 5-year grant will establish a Patient Engagement Resource Center (PERC) to address disparities in substance use disorder (SUD) treatment engagement among parents.
Key objectives include: 1) Creating a Lived Expertise Advisory Panel (LEAP) of 18 parents with SUD to inform the research; 2) Conducting mixed-methods research to identify modifiable barriers and solutions to SUD treatment engagement and success for parents; and 3) Expanding UO's existing infrastructure to support national research on improving treatment outcomes for parents with SUD. This project aims to transform research and practice by prioritizing the perspectives of parents with SUD to improve the acceptability, accessibility, and sustained recovery of this disenfranchised population.
