Study Summary

Project RESTART (Resisting STigma And Revaluating your Thoughts) is a theory-informed, 4-week automated text message intervention to address self-stigma in people who use drugs. The intervention delivers two daily messages to participants for four weeks (56 messages total). Messages are designed to address four components of Stigma Resistance Theory: Not believing stigma/catching and challenging stigmatizing thoughts; empowering oneself through learning about substance use and one's own recovery; maintaining one's recovery and proving stigma wrong; and developing a meaningful identity and purpose apart from one's substance use. This study is a single-group pilot trial to determine whether the intervention is feasible and acceptable to participants. All participants will receive the intervention. The primary outcomes are changes in stigma resistance and self-stigma from baseline to 4-week follow-up using self-report. Implementation and process outcomes will be measured to inform future intervention refinement.

Primary Outcome

This is a 20-item Likert-type scale that assesses participants' capacity to resist stigma in five domains (self-other differentiation, personal identity, personal cognitions, peer stigma resistance, public stigma resistance). All items are scored such that higher scores reflect greater stigma resistance. Total scale score ranges from 20-100.
