Peer recovery specialists (PRSs) may play an important role in OUD treatment retention, yet few evidence-based interventions to support OUD retention have been developed specifically for PRS delivery. Behavioral activation is a brief, reinforcement-based intervention with empirical support for improving depression and…

While mindfulness training and peer delivery models were positively perceived by consumers, they are rarely used within task-shared behavioral interventions in low- and middle-income countries
