4.1 Screening Survey Questions

These questions are about participating in a research study. We are looking for people 18 years old or older, who are receiving medication assisted treatment (MAT) from an outpatient treatment program or doctor’s office-based treatment program, or people who are enrolled in or have recently completed a day treatment program (DTP, also known as a partial hospitalization program or PHP).

The study involves using a smartphone recovery support app for one year. You would complete brief daily check-ins and daily and monthly updates, and meet virtually with study staff twice for about thirty minutes.

Interested participants who qualify to be in the study and complete study tasks will receive a $50 per month personal cell phone plan credit and up to $70 per month in study task completion bonuses, paid by check or reloadable debit card.

First, we would like to ask you several questions that determine whether you might be a good fit for this study. We will ask about your smartphone usage, about you, and about any medication assisted treatments you might be taking or day treatment programs you are enrolled in.

If you prefer to talk to study staff first and then answer these questions over the phone, you may instead call our study line and leave a voicemail at 608-262-1362
