Experimental Treatment
Active Control
TRTME participants will be offered a 15-minute intervention in which a trained research staff member reviews personal feedback reports with the recipient to provide information on: 1) the items missed on the knowledge assessment; and 2) their personal overdose risk factors. TRTME participants will also have the opportunity to view short videos from patients talking about their experiences with methadone or buprenorphine treatment.
Control participants will be offered two SAMHSA handouts: 1) "Opioid Overdose Prevention Toolkit: Safety Advice for Patients and Family Members"; and 2) "Medication-Assisted Treatment for Opioid Addiction: Facts for Families and Friends". These handouts can be offered as physical copies or electronically.
