Targeting Alcohol-Opioid Co-use Among Young Adults Using a Novel mHealth Intervention

Principal Investigator: Ryan Carpenter, PhD & Robert Miranda Jr., PhD, ABPP

The goal of this treatment development project is to develop and pilot an adaptive mobile health (mHealth) intervention that targets the co-use of alcohol and opioids in young adults with opioid use disorder (OUD). This intervention has the potential to significantly reduce the risk of opioid overdose and other use-related problems associated with alcohol-opioid co-use. Despite clear public health significance, no existing intervention targets this issue. This gap is especially detrimental to young adults, who have the highest rates of alcohol and opioid (i.e., nonmedical prescription opioid or heroin) use and use disorders of any age group.

Do you use alcohol and opioids? Are you 18-25 years old?
