What You Need to Know Before You Apply

What is the purpose of this trial?

Evidence suggests that friends and family play an important role in supporting loved ones that are addicted to opioids. However, there are limited unique resources available for this population of friends and family. This study aims to develop a brief digital educational intervention for these support people called "ConCERN" with the hopes of reducing stigma, enhancing navigation of health and treatment systems, building positive communication skills, and improving well-being for both the loved ones and the people who use opioids.
