Adaptation of a Digital Group-Based Intervention to Reduce Drug Use and Increase Contraceptive Use among Reproductive-Aged Women with Recent Histories of Incarceration or Community Supervision - PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT. The purpose of this K01 Award is to provide the candidate, Dr. Melissa N. Slavin, with the training needed to become an independent substance use investigator in digital intervention science with a focus on sexual and reproductive health (SRH) among reproductive-aged women who have substance use disorders (SUDs). Dr. Slavin proposes to adapt and evaluate the feasibility and acceptability of a digital intervention consisting of facilitated group-based treatment via videoconference and digital interactive activities for reproductive-aged women who have recent histories of incarceration or community supervision. This intervention aims to reduce illicit drug use and increase contraceptive use among women who have SUDs and unmet contraceptive needs (i.e., fecund, sexually active women who report not wanting more children or wanting to delay the next child but are not using contraception). Reproductive-aged women who have recent histories of incarceration or community supervision experience high rates of SUDs and unmet contraceptive needs, contributing to unintended pregnancies (UPs) and increased risk of adverse health outcomes for women and their offspring. Existing interventions among women who use drugs often focus on sexually transmitted infections (STIs), including HIV, while leaving unintended pregnancy unaddressed. Digital interventions have demonstrated effectiveness in reducing drug use and increasing contraceptive use among reproductive-aged women and offer advantages including consistent implementation, accessibility, and personalization. Digital HIV-prevention interventions for women who use drugs therefore provide a promising platform to address unintended pregnancies. Multimedia WORTH, an evidence-based HIV-prevention intervention, uses in-person groups and digital interactive activities to address factors associated with substance use and sexual risk and has demonstrated effectiveness in increasing condom use. Dr. Slavin will adapt Multimedia WORTH for reproductive-aged women who have SUDs and unmet contraceptive needs using a digital intervention consisting of facilitated group-based treatment via videoconference and self-paced interactive activities through three research aims: RA1: Identify modifiable determinants of drug and contraceptive use among reproductive-aged women who have recent histories of incarceration or community supervision through qualitative interviews. RA2: Adapt Multimedia WORTH using a systematic intervention adaptation framework. RA3: Evaluate feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary effectiveness of the intervention through a randomized controlled trial (RCT) of 50 reproductive-aged women who have recent histories of incarceration or community supervision. Data obtained from this K01 will support the NIDA priority focus area of addressing real-world complexities of addiction by developing and testing an intervention targeting substance use and reproductive health outcomes among reproductive-aged women who have SUDs. This K01 will provide Dr. Slavin training in: 1. adapting and implementing an evidence-based intervention; 2. conducting responsible research with human participants; 3. developing and evaluating digital behavioral health interventions; and 4. quantitative and qualitative intervention evaluation methods.
