The National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) awarded a $2,729,018 Project Grant under the Drug Use and Addiction Research Programs (CFDA 93.279) to the University of Rhode Island. The purpose of this 2-year award, with a start date of September 15, 2024, is to rigorously develop and evaluate a mobile health intervention for adults with co-occurring opioid use disorder (OUD) and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) during community re-entry after residential OUD treatment.

The proposed mobile app will provide 24/7 on-demand resources and automated skills-based interventions to reduce opioid use and related harms. The project will use ecological momentary assessment to identify high-risk states for opioid use and optimize a just-in-time adaptive intervention component. A hybrid experimental design, including a micro-randomized trial and a randomized controlled trial, will evaluate the efficacy of the mobile app compared to treatment-as-usual. The University of Rhode Island has sub-awarded a portion of the grant funding to The Providence Center, Inc., a non-profit organization that will contribute its expertise in behavioral health services and community-based support programs.
