About this trial

The goal of this study is a fractional factorial optimization trial to optimize engagement in a CRAFT program for family members with loved ones in outpatient treatment for a substance use disorder.

This study aims to identify family engagement strategies that are feasible, acceptable, and appropriate and effective in increasing family member initiation with CRAFT. Participants will complete an iterative, online process where they will evaluate and rank different engagement strategies to identify the most optimal in increasing engagement and then participate in an optimization trial to identify which strategies were most effective in increasing family member engagement.
