Community health worker and family support for addiction treatment services.
Trial report in Substance abuse treatment, prevention, and policy, 2026. 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
backgroundA growing body of research underscores the importance of incorporating family support and community health worker engagement into community-based addiction care. This study developed and applied context-specific indicators tailored to the distinct roles of family members and CHWs in addiction services.
methodsThis study utilized baseline data from an ongoing randomized controlled trial conducted in 2024 across 58 communities in Vietnam. Participants included 174 community health workers and 690 family members of people who use drugs. Context-specific support indicators were developed separately for CHWs and family members. Multiple regression analyses were used to identify individual, familial, and work-related factors associated with support for addiction services.
resultsBoth the community health worker support and family member support scales demonstrated acceptable reliability. Among community health workers, higher job satisfaction and greater confidence in delivering addiction services were significantly associated with stronger support for addiction care. Among family members, higher levels of family functioning and coping were positively associated with support for addiction services.
conclusionFindings highlight the potential of enhancing community health workers’ confidence and job satisfaction, as well as promoting family functioning and coping, as actionable strategies to strengthen addiction service systems and inform future interventions. By utilizing context-specific indicators, this study provides a more nuanced understanding of support mechanisms within community-based addiction care.
