Study Summary

This study deploys a strategy to develop and evaluate a training-efficient, multimedia patient-centered Health Education Toolkit to promote shared decision making between counselors and patients. An existing evidence-based toolkit intervention will be adapted and redesigned by a patient and provider team into an engaging, narrative graphic novel curriculum useful in group and individual counseling. The proven behavioral interventions will be augmented with health education material focused on medication assisted treatment (MAT). We will assess feasibility and acceptability, and pilot test whether exposure to the Toolkit (TK) can shared decision making conversations, reduce substance use, and increase engagement with MAT.

Primary Outcome

Shared decision making score, as measured by the Shared Decision Making Questionnaire (SDM-Q) which uses a 1-6 point scale with higher numbers indicating greater shared decision-making. Results are presented for one research site only because of counselor randomization issues at the second site (i.e., the randomization was extremely unbalanced with 7 TAU counselors and 1 TK counselor).
