Study Summary

Opioid use disorder is a major public health problem. Although there are effective treatments for this disorder, many people still relapse and thus there is a need for new treatments to improve outcomes. People who have a strong emotional and physical response to stress are at a higher risk of relapse. The goal of this project is to test the effect of strategies to reduce response to stress in people diagnosed with opioid use disorder. Men and women diagnosed with opioid use disorder will be recruited for a one-session study. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of three brief instructional conditions followed by a brief laboratory stress test. Investigators hypothesize that, compared to education about stress, brief strategies to help people cope with negative emotions will reduce responses to stress and increase tolerance of stress. If this hypothesis is supported, it will inform the development of new treatments to improve outcome in opioid use disorder.

Primary Outcome

Negative affect will be measured using the Negative Affect Subscale of the Positive and Negative Affect Schedule. This is a 10-item self-report measure on which respondents rate how strongly they are experiencing negative emotion. The range of scores is 10-50, with higher scores representing higher negative affect.

Interventions

  • BEHAVIORAL Psychoeducational Control
  • BEHAVIORAL Affect Regulation
  • BEHAVIORAL Affect Labelling
