Trial Summary
Trial Overview
Inclusion Criteria
Mobile health interventions offer a longitudinal approach to reducing the burden of substance
use disorders and may stem the rise of the opioid overdose epidemic. Smartphone applications
are one of the most popular mobile phone features nationally, among patients in addiction
treatment, and among criminal justice involved (CJI) patients enrolled in addiction
treatment. This research conducted at Bellevue Hospital's inpatient detoxification program
established attitudes and self-reported behaviors favorable to theoretical smartphone
applications addressing opioid use, HIV, and HCV prevention and management strategies. This
study aims to assess the feasibility and usability of a smartphone application to enhance
access to sterile needles, naloxone overdose kits, and addiction treatment programs in New
York City.

- Owns or has owned a smartphone

- Any patient who does not meet the inclusion criteria as above, is clinically unstable
