What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
WORTH Paths digital intervention (behavioral group sessions via videoconference with digital activities)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could provide a scalable, accessible way to help women in the criminal legal system reduce drug use and prevent unintended pregnancies.
What could go wrong
This is a small early feasibility study with only 50 participants, so results may not apply broadly. The intervention is behavioral and relies on self-report and urine tests, which may have limitations.
