Brief Summary
The study aims to adapt an existing Cultural Structural Humility (CSH) training into a video format for peer recovery coaches (PRCs) and refine an AI-driven texting tool to reinforce the training. After refining these tools using user-centered design, a pilot test will be conducted to assess their impact on the uptake of opioid treatment and social services. The study will also evaluate the feasibility and effectiveness of the intervention to inform future large-scale trials.
