Telehealth to Improve Post-Incarceration Treatment for OUD Patients (TIPTOP): An Acceptability and Feasibility Trial
Funded by: National Institute on Drug Abuse
Project dates: May 2024 - April 2029
Principal Investigator: Khatri, Utsha
PROJECT DESCRIPTION

Telehealth is one potential strategy to address gaps in treatment clinician availability, competing social determinants of health, and access inequities by providing flexible, low-cost, and low-threshold access to treatment linkage after release from incarceration.

This study will identify predictors of failed post-release treatment engagement among individuals with recent incarceration and intervene with a telehealth innovation, which has great potential to decrease overdose mortality and improve health outcomes for this marginalized population.
