Linking Individuals Needing Care for Substance Use Disorders in Urban Emergency Departments to Peer coaches (LINCS UP)- Emory University proposes to develop a robust evidence base supporting a novel approach to embedding peer recovery coaches (PRCs) in the emergency department (ED) setting to link patients with illicit substance use disorders (SUD) to recovery support services.
- Institution: University of Kentucky | PI: Bunn, Terry
Evaluation of Kentucky Access to Recovery Linkage Strategy- The University of Kentucky proposes to perform a rigorous process and outcome evaluation of the Kentucky Access to Recover strategy, a “last resort” voucher strategy for linking county residents at or below the 200% national poverty level who have illicit substance use disorder and are in treatment or early recovery to evidence-based recovery support services such as recovery housing.
- Institution: University of Massachusetts Medical School, Worcester | PI: Smelson, David
Supporting Treatment Access and Recovery through Linkage and Support (STAR-LS)- The University of Massachusetts Medical School, Worcester proposes to conduct an innovative Hybrid Type 1 randomized controlled trial (RCT) of a comprehensive linkage and wrap-around intervention.

Emergency department community health worker-peer recovery navigation for linkage to recovery: A mixed methods evaluation- Rhode Island Hospital proposes to conduct a pragmatic mixed-methods study of an established emergency department community health worker-peer recovery specialist program to evaluate program delivery, linkage to evidence-based recovery services, and short- and long-term patient outcomes.
- Institution: The University of California at Davis | PI: Fenton, Joshua
Patterns and trajectories associated with overdose in patients co-prescribed opioids and benzodiazepines- The University of California at Davis proposes to conduct retrospective cohort studies using two large data sources focusing on fatal and non-fatal drug overdoses.
