New from CTN-0107: PILOT Peer Intervention Manual

CTN-0107, the Peer Intervention to Link Overdose Survivors to Treatment (PILOT) trial, is a 3-site, randomized controlled trial using Peer Recovery Coaches trained in FORCE (FAVOR Overdose Recovery Coaching Evaluation), who will engage with opioid overdose survivors in the emergency department to get permission to contact them.

The protocol team recently submitted the PILOT manual used by peers working on the study for inclusion in the CTN Dissemination Library.

The manual provides materials to be used during peer training, reference materials to be used during the implementation of the clinical trial, and reference material for supervision. At the end of the study, the manual will be revised with input from participating peers and a revised manual will be developed for use in any follow-up studies.

The manual contains sections on the background of the PILOT study and intervention, what PILOT peers do in the study (engagement/re-engagement, peer coaching, transition and termination of the intervention), other things peers know and do in the PILOT study (study documentation, supervision, self-care and support, safety), and an array of tools and FAQs for peer participants.
