Individual Participant Data (IPD) Sharing Statement

Will individual participant data (IPD) be shared publicly (including data dictionaries)?  

Response - NO
Brief Summary   Aim - To compare the change in family functioning of patients and family members who receive family intervention, to treatment as usual in patients with opioid use disorder.
Objectives - To compare the change in family functioning of the family intervention group with the control group.
                    To compare the change of opioid use in the family intervention group with the control group.
                                  To ascertain the therapist, patient and family member’s perspectives on family 
Rationale - Family members in India are often involved in the treatment and their wishes are an important factor in the decision making and treatment process. They provide support for treatment of the substance user in many ways. There is sufficient evidence for involving family members for the treatment of patients with substance use disorders. Psychological interventions have been found to be useful for treatment of opioid use disorders. Intervention with family members, in the Indian context, can be a helpful approach to provide treatment to patients with opioid use disorder.

Procedure: 

Screening will be performed to recruit patients with opioid use disorder registered at NDDTC OPD. The purpose of screening is to assess the suitability of the patient for inclusion in this study based on the inclusion criteria. The patients meeting the recruitment criteria for the study will be informed about the aims and objectives of the research, study procedures, nature of participation and rights of the study participants. If the patient is willing to participate in the study after receiving adequate information, he would be invited to sign the consent form for the study which is available in both English and Hindi. A detailed assessment of the subjects recruited into the study will be performed on the 1st day only after taking written informed consent. The patients would be randomized to either of the study arms by the simple random allocation (1:1). Computerized random sequences would be generated  and allocated into group A (Intervention group) or B (Control group). Intervention would comprise of sessions with family members (up to 3), conducted over a period of 4 weeks. Assessments of both of the groups would be conducted using Maudsley Addiction Profile at Week 4 and 8. At week 12, assessment will be done with Family Assessment Device and Maudsley Addiction Profile.
