Arms and Interventions
Participant Group / Arm |
Intervention / Treatment |
---|---|
Experimental: Wave 1 - Intervention
Communities in Wave 1 will receive the CTH intervention during the first 30 months of the trial.
The intervention will include 3 components: community engagement to assist key stakeholders in applying evidence-based practices to addressing their opioid crisis, a menu of evidence-based practices for communities to select and implement, and a communications campaign to build demand for evidence-based practices to address overdose and opioid use disorder.

The Communities That HEAL (CTH) intervention is a community-engaged intervention designed to increase the adoption of an integrated set of evidence-based practices delivered across healthcare, behavioral health, justice, and other community-based settings.
It includes 3 components: community engagement to assist key stakeholders in applying evidence-based practices to addressing their opioid crisis, a menu of evidence-based practices for communities to select and implement, and a communications campaign to build demand for evidence-based practices to address overdose and opioid use disorder.
Other Names:

Plan for Individual participant data (IPD)
Plan to Share Individual Participant Data (IPD)?
IPD Plan Description
We plan to make study methods, data, and results available to anyone interested in reducing the burden of the opioid crisis. The data sharing plan will comply with the NIH HEAL Initiative ClinicalTrials.govSM Public Access and Data Sharing Policy, the NIH Data Sharing Policy, and the NIH Policy on Dissemination of NIH-Funded Clinical Trial Information, and the NIH Clinical Trial Registration and Results Information Submission rule.
The data sharing plan will follow NIH requirements for sharing data via the creation of public-use data sets. A structured process will be used to evaluate the risk of re-identification based on guidance documents from the US DHHS and HIPAA. The risk of re-identification will also be quantitatively evaluated using accepted statistical methods. Study data deposited into a repository selected by NIDA, such as the National Addiction & HIV Data Archive Program, will be de-identified or masked to minimize risks to study participant privacy.
