Brief summary

The purpose of this study (RECOVER-LT) is to better understand the long-term paths of recovery from opioid use disorder (OUD) for an additional 5 year period after the original RECOVER (NCT03604861) study. Long-term patterns of abstinence/opioid misuse as well as measures of participants' physical, psychological, social and economic well being will be monitored in order to identify factors associated with recovery from OUD.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Abstinence from opioid useChange from baseline after a period of up to 5 years will be reported.Self-reported 7-day point prevalence of opioid use will be measured approximately every 4 months

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Quality of life measures-household chaos: CHAOSUp to 14 assessments approximately every 4 months from Assessment 1 to Assessment 14 over a period of up to 5 yearsMeasured by CHAOS, the Confusion, hubbub and order scale-short form. This is a 6-item scale which uses yes-no questions to measure the amount of household disorder. Higher levels of household disorder are associated with worse outcomes.
Satisfaction with medications received to treat OUD: Medication Satisfaction QuestionnaireMeasured annually from Assessment 1 to Assessment 14 over a period of up to 5 yearsCompletion of a Medication Satisfaction Questionnaire for those receiving medication to treat OUD
Assessment of recovery and treatmentMeasured annually from Assessment 1 to Assessment 14 over a period of up to 5 yearsCompletion of a Treatment Effectiveness Assessment, a patient-centered instrument for evaluating progress in recovery from addiction. Patients provide both numerical responses and representative details on their substance use, health, lifestyle, and community.
Assessment of functional impairmentUp to 14 assessments approximately every 4 months from Assessment 1 to Assessment 14 over a period of up to 5 yearsMeasured by completion of the Sheehan Disability Scale, which is a 5-item self-report tool that assesses functional impairment in work/school, social life, and family life. Scores range from 0-30, and higher scores indicate worse impairment.
Quality of life-depression: Beck Depression Inventory-IIUp to 14 assessments approximately every 4 months from Assessment 1 to Assessment 14 over a period of up to 5 yearsMeasured by the Beck Depression Inventory-II which measures characteristic attitudes and symptoms of depression. Scores can range from 0-63 and higher numbers indicate worse symptoms of depression.
Quality of life measures - broad domains: WHOQOL-BREFUp to 14 assessments approximately every 4 months from Assessment 1 to Assessment 14 over a period of up to 5 yearsMeasured by the World Health Organization Quality of Life Assessment - Abbreviated Version(WHOQOL-BREF) which measures physical health, social relationships, psychological health and environment
Recovery from opioid use disorder (OUD)Up to 14 assessments approximately every 4 months from Assessment 1 to Assessment 14 over a period of up to 5 years.Assessment of recovery will include assessment of symptoms of OUD as measured by Subjective Opiate Withdrawal Scale (SOWS). Higher numbers indicate worse outcomes
Quality of life measures-pain: Brief Pain InventoryUp to 14 assessments approximately every 4 months from Assessment 1 to Assessment 14 over a period of up to 5 yearsMeasured by the Brief Pain Inventory which rates pain severity
Quality of life measures-adverse experiences: Holmes-Rahe Life Stress InventoryUp to 14 assessments approximately every 4 months from Assessment 1 to Assessment 14 over a period of up to 5 yearsMeasured by the Holmes-Rahe Life Stress Inventory which lists stressful life events that could contribute to illness. Higher scores indicate an increased susceptibility to stress-related health breakdown
Number of crimes committedUp to 14 assessments approximately every 4 months from Assessment 1 to Assessment 14 over a period of up to 5 yearsParticipants will complete surveys to identify the number and type of criminal incidents in the time period since last assessment
Occurrence of overdoseUp to 14 assessments from Assessment 1 to Assessment 14 over a period of up to 5 yearsParticipants will complete survey to identify if an overdose occurred and the number of times of an overdose in the time period since last assessment
Hospitalization and urgent care utilizationUp to 14 assessments from Assessment 1 to Assessment 14 over a period of up to 5 yearsParticipants will complete survey to identify if hospitals and emergency room visits occurred and the frequency of visits to the hospitals and emergency rooms in the time period since last assessment
Quality of life measures-overall: Medical Outcomes Study, Short-Form- 12 (SF-12)Up to 14 assessments approximately every 4 months from Assessment 1 to Assessment 14 over a period of up to 5 yearsMeasured by the 12 Item Short Form Health Survey (SF-12) which assesses mental and physical functioning and overall health-related quality of life over a period of time.
