COG is pleased to announce that Drs. Steven Carswell and Michael Gordon, along with Co-Investigators Jan Gryczynski and Faye Taxman, have received a grant award from the National Institutes of Health – National Institute on Minority Health and Health Disparities entitled “Continuing Care App for Probationers and Parolees with Substance Use Disorders.” This study is a Phase II, Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) award that seeks to complete the development of a Continuing Care mobile app and conduct a randomized controlled trial to assess efficacy among clients on probation or parole who are enrolled in outpatient substance use treatment. The app is designed to meet the recovery and personal support needs of probationers and parolees with SUDs who are at elevated risk of relapse, re-arrest, and incarceration. App content is focused on substance use recovery, reducing criminal thinking and behavior, and managing and building support systems. If proven to be efficacious, the app could be deployed across the national network of outpatient treatment providers, and be highly significant in its direct impact on public health.
