Summary
This study tested a digital, community-led program in rural Appalachia and the Midwest to help people reduce risks from opioid use and prevent HIV and hepatitis C. Over 500 adults took part, with half currently or previously using illicit substances. The program encouraged HIV/HCV testing, treatment, harm reduction like Narcan and syringe services, and building social connections. The goal was to see if community action can improve health and reduce disease spread.
