Completed
Conditions studied: Opiate Dependency Relapse
In brief
The purpose of the proposed study is perform focus groups to identify and prioritize features of the SubAID application (APP). The SubAID APP is smartphone APP being created to support patients self-managing buprenorphine/naloxone (bup/nal) medication. Many people have difficulty in managing bup/nal in the prescribed manner. Not taking medicines in their prescribed manner can cause negative health outcomes. Focus group participants will be asked to elaborate on medication-taking patterns that work best for them, pitfalls associated with poor adherence and offer opinions upon what features/functions the SubAID APP should perform to be most helpful to them. The focus group is designed to remain open-ended and allow free discussion regarding each particular topic that the moderator will bring up.
