This study will design and pilot/feasibility test a culturally grounded intervention to increase the treatment seeking of Pacific Islanders with opioid use disorders in formal services.
For the clinical trial arm of this pilot/feasibility study, the investigators will conduct a pilot/feasibility test of our conceptual model of culturally grounded intervention components with 20 Pacific Islander adults with experience with opioid use disorders, then conduct 2 focus groups per site to finalize the components and items for larger R01 pilot and randomized wait-list controlled testing.
