This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), under the Drug Use and Addiction Research Programs (CFDA 93.279), aims to develop new technology-based materials to encourage drug checking, distribution of harm reduction supplies, and linkage to addiction treatment services. The $1,607,146 award to NDRI-USA Inc., a non-profit research organization, will fund the creation of multimedia content in English and Spanish to increase overdose prevention behaviors and health literacy among people who use drugs. The 2-year project, starting in September 2024, will employ a participatory, iterative design process involving interviews and stakeholder feedback to develop the intervention content.
