Implementing and Evaluating the Impact of Novel Mobile Harm Reduction Services on Overdose Among Women who use Drugs: The SHOUT Study Translation of Research to Practice for the Treatment of Opioid Addiction Harm Reduction Approaches to Reduce Overdose Deaths NIDA JOHNS HOPKINS UNIVERSITY SHERMAN, SUSAN G Baltimore, MD 2022
NOFO Title: HEAL Initiative: HEAL Data2Action Data Infrastructure Support Center
NOFO Number: RFA-DA-22-046
Summary:

This project will evaluate a previously developed harm reduction intervention that addresses the needs of women who use drugs in an urban environment. The approach uses a mobile van to offer naloxone, fentanyl test strips, and other harm reduction supplies – along with necessities such as food and clothing, brief trauma-informed counseling, and referrals to drug treatment, medical care, and social services. This research aims to test the impact of an intervention that may increase access to harm reduction services for women, as well as assess how to put it into place.

A Network-Based, Mixed Methods Study to Identify and Support Multiple Overdose Responders and Inform Overdose Prevention Interventions Translation of Research to Practice for the Treatment of Opioid Addiction Harm Reduction Approaches to Reduce Overdose Deaths NIDA UNIVERSITY OF NEVADA RENO WAGNER, KARLA D Reno, NV 2022
NOFO Title: HEAL Initiative: Harm Reduction Policies, Practices, and Modes of Delivery for Persons with Substance Use Disorders (R01 Clinical Trial Optional)
NOFO Number: RFA-DA-22-046
Summary:

While some people who use drugs do not carry or use naloxone, others respond to multiple overdoses over short periods of time. This project aims to identify characteristics and experiences of these individuals, known as “overdose responders,” toward better understanding barriers to naloxone use. The research will also test interventions to support the well-being of responders and to increase the number of community members ready and willing to give naloxone to reverse overdose.

Promoting Remote Harm Reduction and Secondary Services in Rural Settings (PROMOTE) Study Translation of Research to Practice for the Treatment of Opioid Addiction Harm Reduction Approaches to Reduce Overdose Deaths NIDA UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO PHO, MAI TUYET (contact); MACKESY-AMITI, MARY ELLEN Chicago, IL 2022
NOFO Title: HEAL Initiative: Harm Reduction Policies, Practices, and Modes of Delivery for Persons with Substance Use Disorders (R01 Clinical Trial Optional)
NOFO Number: RFA-DA-22-046
Summary:

Access to harm reduction services are often limited in rural areas. Secondary distribution is a potentially promising strategy for rural areas that involves people sharing harm reduction supplies such as naloxone or fentanyl test strips with other people who use drugs that do not come into contact with harm reduction service providers. This project aims to examine drug use and use of harm reduction services among people in rural communities, as well as highlight factors that make people more or less likely to use secondary distribution approaches.

Peer Engagement in Methamphetamine Harm-Reduction with Contingency Management (PEER-CM) Translation of Research to Practice for the Treatment of Opioid Addiction Harm Reduction Approaches to Reduce Overdose Deaths NIDA OREGON HEALTH & SCIENCE UNIVERSITY KORTHUIS, PHILIP TODD Portland, OR 2022
NOFO Title: HEAL Initiative: Harm Reduction Policies, Practices, and Modes of Delivery for Persons with Substance Use Disorders (R01 Clinical Trial Optional)
NOFO Number: RFA-DA-22-046
Summary:

Despite substantial increases in overdose deaths among people who use methamphetamine, little is known about how to effectively provide harm reduction services to these individuals. This project will combine and test two harm reduction interventions for people who use methamphetamine. First, peer recovery support specialists will help identify personal harm reduction goals. The project will also test the value of incentives toward achieving these goals (a strategy known as contingency management).
