A 2-arm, 6-month, nonrandomized controlled pilot trial was conducted to test the initial effectiveness of the Life Enhancing Alcohol-management Program (LEAP) as an adjunct to Housing First (HF; e.g., permanent supportive housing) on alcohol and quality-of-life (QoL) outcomes. The LEAP entails resident-driven leadership opportunities, meaningful activities, and pathways to recovery aimed at reducing alcohol-related harm and improving QoL. Data analyses were conducted to test between- and within-subjects effects of the LEAP on self-reported alcohol and QoL outcomes among HF residents. At the 6-month follow up, between groups analysis revealed nonsignificant findings for alcohol quantity or alcohol-related harm (ps > 0.06); however, LEAP participants reported significantly more engagement in meaningful activities than control participants (p < .001), and within-subjects analyses indicated that high levels of LEAP programming engagement predicted significant reductions in alcohol quantity and alcohol-related harm (ps < 0.01). The LEAP was associated with increased engagement in meaningful activities, and greater involvement in the LEAP programming was associated with reduced alcohol use and alcohol-related harm. Planning is underway for a future, large-scale randomized controlled trial to establish the efficacy of this approach, its generalizability across HF programs, and potential mechanisms of action.

Objectives: Trauma screening is recommended for pregnant persons with opioid use disorder (OUD), but there is limited literature on screening results from buprenorphine treatment. This study's objectives were to 1) describe the types, and severity, of traumatic events reported and 2) evaluate the associations between trauma and health-related quality of life (HRQoL).
Methods: Baseline data from an ongoing trial were analyzed.

Introduction: Many individuals receiving outpatient physical therapy have musculoskeletal pain and up to one-third use prescription opioids. The impact of physical therapist-led mindfulness-based interventions integrated with evidence-based physical therapy (I-EPT) to manage patients with chronic musculoskeletal pain and long-term opioid treatment has not been elucidated. This project evaluates the feasibility of conducting a cluster randomised trial to test the effectiveness of I-EPT.
