Abstract

This pilot proof-of-concept study examined the feasibility and acceptability of a Continuing Care mobile application (app) designed to meet the recovery and personal support needs of individuals under justice supervision who were receiving outpatient substance use disorder (SUD) treatment. The study included adults on probation or parole who were enrolled in an outpatient SUD treatment program (N = 15; 86.7% males). Participants were instructed to utilize the Continuing Care app daily for 4 weeks. At the end of the study, they completed a satisfaction questionnaire. Of the 15 participants enrolled in the study, 12 (80%) completed the Continuing Care app modules and the satisfaction questionnaire, and all of these participants indicated high levels of satisfaction with the app (on a scale of 1-10, Mean = 1.8, SD = 1.2). The Continuing Care app was well-utilized and perceived as valuable by this group of low-income, underserved, and hard-to-reach individuals. Further research is needed to refine app content and evaluate its ability to meaningfully enhance and extend the benefits of SUD treatment.

药物使用障碍的缓刑犯和假释犯持续护理应用程序。
本试点概念验证研究考察了持续护理移动应用程序(app)的可行性和可接受性,该应用程序旨在满足接受门诊药物使用障碍(SUD)治疗的司法监督下个人的康复和个人支持需求。该研究纳入了参加门诊SUD治疗计划的缓刑或假释成人(N = 15;86.7%的男性)。参与者被要求每天使用持续护理应用程序,持续4周。在研究结束时,他们完成了一份满意度调查问卷。在参与研究的15名参与者中,12名(80%)完成了持续护理应用模块和满意度问卷,所有这些参与者都表示对应用的满意度很高(在1-10的范围内,Mean = 1.8, SD = 1.2)。持续护理应用程序得到了很好的利用,并被这群低收入、服务不足、难以接触的人认为是有价值的。需要进一步的研究来完善应用程序的内容,并评估其有意义地增强和扩大SUD治疗益处的能力。
