Brief Summary: Brief Summary

The purposes of this study are to develop and implement a peer-led intervention program on Instagram for promoting prescription opioid use management and fostering psychosocial skills among young adults who engage in non-medical use of prescription opioids in the United State The specific aims of the study include

1 To conduct formative interviews to identify psychosocial determinantsskills and relevant vivid examples associated with non-medical use of prescription opioids
2 To develop peer-led modules in accordance with Aim 1 and health behavior theories on Instagram
3 To implement and test the feasibility of the 12-week peer-led intervention modules on Instagram among young adults who are randomly assigned to either receive the intervention intervention group or not receive the intervention control group

In Aim 1 participants will be invited to online audio-recorded 60-minute individual interviews with the research team on topics regarding personal experiences in using prescription opioids and psychosocial skills or factors relevant to them

In Aim 3 participants who are assigned to the intervention group will be paired with a peer leader and attend to peer-guided interactive modules on Instagram over 12 weeks They will complete an online survey at 1st week and 12th week as well as brief evening surveys every two days during the intervention The control group will not take part in intervention activities but will complete an online survey at 1st week and 12th week
Detailed Description: Non-medical use of prescription opioids NMUPO is a timely and significant public health issue in the United States US Young adults are the key population vulnerable to NMUPO Existing literature indicates that NMUPO in young adults is influenced by a robust array of psychosocial factors Tailored interventions guided by a psychosocial theory such as the information-motivation-behavioral skills IMB model are urgently needed for addressing NMUPO in young adults One innovative approach is to reach out to and deliver psychosocial interventions to young adults via social media technology yet limited efforts have sought to develop such interventions for NMUPO among young adults Thus the scientific objective of this study is to gather data via IMB-guided formative study regarding psychosocial influences on NMPUO and then to use these findings to inform the development of a peer-led social media intervention designed to reduce NMUPO among young adults The objective of this study is to obtain intensive mentored training essential to improving the theoretical and practical expertise needed to develop innovative and implementable peer-led psychosocial interventions for NMUPO in high-risk populations This study includes three specific research aims In Aim 1 formative research guided by the IMB model will be conducted to explore psychosocial contents associated with NMUPO in young adults The findings from Aim 1 will be inform the development of a peer-led social media intervention to reduce NMUPO among young adults Aim 2 The intervention will integrate promising psychotherapy principles and incorporate with peer leaders who are well-trained for recovery coaching In Aim 3 the feasibility acceptability usability and preliminary efficacy on NMUPO reduction and psychosocial changes of the theory-based social media intervention will be evaluated through a 12-week pilot randomized controlled trial among 70 NMUPO engaging young adults 35 for intervention and 35 for control via pre-test 12-week ecological momentary assessment during the intervention and post-tests 12-month follow-ups This project will contribute to future largescale and fully-powered psychosocial interventions for NMUPO among young adults or other high-risk populations using innovative technology that can address challenges in traditional substance use interventions
