Disrupting SDOH to Improve Substance Use and Mental Health Outcomes for Parents in Rural Regions

Description

The study will evaluate the effectiveness of the Just Care for Families program in preventing Oregon Department of Human Services (ODHS)-involved parents in rural communities from escalating opioid and/or methamphetamine use and mental health disorders by disrupting the associated social determinants of health (SDOH). In addition, investigators will examine the impacts of SDOH on Just Care treatment and the associated costs from the perspective of provider clinics delivering Just Care. Just Care is a behavioral intervention for the treatment of parental substance abuse and child neglect for families involved in the child welfare system. Just Care involves treatment components, supported by ongoing purposeful engagement: (1) Substance use treatment; (2) Mental health treatment; (3) Parent management training; (4) Community building; (5) Systems Navigation; and (6) Addressing basic needs.
