Teaching Health Promotion and Resilience in Varied Environments: a Peer-led Intervention Following Hospital Discharge

Summary

The purpose of the study is to develop an acceptable, feasible, and effective peer-led bundle of health resilience and promotion services to be delivered in the hospital setting, called the THRIVE intervention. The main question it aims to answer is: Will participants receiving the THRIVE intervention have a reduced risk of self-reported non-fatal overdoses OR skin/soft tissue infections compared to participants receiving enhanced usual care? Researchers will compare the THRIVE model to enhanced usual care to see if the THRIVE model helps participants reduce their number of self-reported non-fatal overdoses OR skin/soft tissue infections. Intervention participants will: * Receive one in-person session from a peer support specialist while in the hospital * Receive weekly text messages from the peer support specialist for a 12-week period * Receive monthly, multiple-choice assessments via text message at Month 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 * Complete a baseline, 3-month, and 6-month assessment with Research Assistants Enhanced usual care participants will: * Receive a handout with health resilience education and resources in their local area * Receive monthly, multiple-choice assessments via text message at Month 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 * Complete a baseline, 3-month, and 6-month assessment with Research Assistants
