Expansion and evaluation of level II and III recovery residences for people taking medications for an opioid use disorder: project HOMES (Housing for MAR Expanded Services) study protocol.
Article in BMJ open, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
introductionAs the US continues to battle the opioid epidemic, recovery residences remain valuable services for people in recovery. While there is a growing body of literature describing positive outcomes experienced by people who live in recovery residences, little is known about the experience of people who live in these residences while taking medications for an opioid use disorder (MOUD) as part of their recovery. Thus, this study has three aims: (1) expand the availability of recovery residences that meet the National Alliance for Recovery Residences standards in Texas and serve individuals taking medications for an opioid use disorder as part of their recovery; (2) evaluate recovery residences for people taking MOUD as part of their recovery; and (3) compare the cost-effectiveness of recovery residences to treatment-as-usual. METHODS AND ANALYSIS: In collaboration with community partners, we opened 15 recovery residences in the State of Texas to house people taking MOUD as part of their recovery. We are collecting quantitative and qualitative data to evaluate outcomes at the intrapersonal, interpersonal, organisational and community levels. At the intrapersonal level, we are assessing changes in behavioural and psychosocial constructs using a longitudinal survey, objectively measuring current substance use with a point-of-interview breathalyser and urinalysis, and examining changes in healthcare utilisation using data obtained from a healthcare information exchange. We are collecting interpersonal data using in-depth individual interviews with residents and staff. We are collecting organisational data using field observation and a cost-effectiveness study, and we are collecting community data using neighbourhood mapping. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION: The UTHealth institutional review board approved all protocols. We will disseminate study findings via conference presentations, peer-reviewed publications and brief community reports.
