"All I want is the best for my brother": interest in a Community Reinforcement and Family Training (CRAFT)-based group intervention among concerned significant others of individuals on office-based medications for opioid use disorder.
Article in BMC psychiatry, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundMedications for opioid use disorder (MOUD) are frontline treatments for opioid use disorder, but retention is low. Community Reinforcement and Family Training (CRAFT) is an evidence-based intervention with concerned significant others (CSOs; family, friends) that improves treatment engagement among people with substance use disorder, but is rarely available. This study aimed to assess the interest in and preferences for a CRAFT-based intervention among CSOs of patients receiving MOUD.
methodsPatients receiving MOUD were recruited from outpatient clinics to complete a brief survey to identify CSOs who might be willing to give feedback on a CRAFT-based group. CSOs who agreed to participate were interviewed virtually using a semi-structured guide assessing preferences for a group intervention.
resultsOver half of patient participants (n = 28/48; 58%) listed a CSO. Of n = 36 CSOs contacted, fourteen (39%) completed interviews. Interviews were transcribed and coded using thematic analysis on reasons for participating and preferences for the group. All interviewed CSOs were interested in doing the group, with the most common reasons being to learn skills, get evidence-based education, and interact with others in similar situations. Most CSOs preferred doing a virtual group in the evenings or on weekends.
conclusionsAmong patients receiving MOUD, a third had a CSO willing to engage in a group intervention for their family/friend. Findings will inform a pilot study of a CRAFT-based group intervention delivered by an MOUD nurse care manager. The current and future studies add to ongoing efforts to involve CSOs and to improve outcomes among individuals on MOUD.
