Championing reproductive and perinatal health with the recovery community
Peer recovery support services are instrumental in the promotion of long-term recovery primarily by focusing on building the recovery capital of people with substance use disorders. Women may have specific health-related needs that are not generally part of recovery support staff training. Our team co-created a model by training people with lived experience as coaches to promote the health of women with SUD during the critical period of their rep…
The importance of contextually specific support relationships in implementing programs to link people to medication for opioid use disorder (Moud) treatment during reentry from county jails
BACKGROUND: This study uses the Practical, Robust, Implementation, and Sustainability Model (PRISM) and Reach, Effectiveness, Adoption, Implementation, and Maintenance (RE-AIM) model to describe how features of jail contexts are associated with the number of people linked to medication for opioid use disorder (MOUD) and sustainment of jail linkage programs implemented in Wave 1 of the HEALing Communities Study in Kentucky (HCS-KY) from 2021 to 22…
Correlates of recovery capital among women in jails
This sample of incarcerated women reported low recovery capital. However, findings highlight recovery capital as a multidimensional construct, related to factors across all four SAMSHA dimensions of recovery, especially 'community'. Interventions are needed to build recovery capital across each dimension, particularly leveraging social support, to promote sustained recovery among women who are incarcerated

The development of a recovery coaching training curriculum to facilitate linkage to and increase retention on medications for opioid use disorder
Introduction: Medication treatment for opioid use disorder (MOUD) decreases opioid overdose risk and is the standard of care for persons with opioid use disorder (OUD). Recovery coach (RC)-led programs and associated training curriculums to improve outcomes around MOUD are limited. We describe our comprehensive training curriculum including instruction and pedagogy for novel RC-led MOUD linkage and retention programs and report on its feasibility…
Linkage facilitation for opioid use disorder in criminal legal system contexts
At the intersection of drug policy, the opioid crisis, and fragmented care systems, persons with opioid use disorder (OUD) in the United States are significantly vulnerable to contact with the criminal legal system (CLS). In CLS settings, provision of evidence-based treatment for OUD is variable and often secondary to punitive approaches. Linkage facilitation at every touch point along the CLS Sequential Intercept Model has potential to redirect …
Syringe reuse among people who inject drugs in rural Appalachian Kentucky
The co-creation and evaluation of a recovery community center bundled model to build recovery capital through the promotion of reproductive health and justice
People who can get pregnant who use drugs face disproportionate harms such as violence, exploitation and trauma and have unmet reproductive health needs as they have the greatest burden of unintended pregnancy (>75%). Recovery community centers (RCCs) provide recovery support services and are primarily staffed with people with lived experience using drugs. RCCs employ recovery coaches who are entrusted with helping participants improve their reco…
Scales for participant Alliance with Recovery Coach (SPARC)
Recovery coaches are individuals with lived experience with recovery from substance use disorder who typically engender a greater sense of trust than found with other types of healthcare providers. However, there currently are no validated tools that measure the connection between recovery coaches and their participants. The purpose of this study was to describe the initial development of the Scales for Participant Alliance with Recovery Coach (S…
Enhancing Role Integrity for Peer Workers
Although informal peer support has been a central feature of recovery for people with substance use disorder (SUD), more recently there has been a stark increase in formal models of peer support. In the infancy of formalized peer support, researchers warned of potential threats to the integrity of the peer support role. Now, almost two decades into the rapid expansion of peer support, research has yet to evaluate the extent to which peer support …
