Summary

This study tests a bundle of smartphone-based tools, including a mobile health app and other online resources, to see if they are practical and helpful for people who use drugs.

Forty participants will use the tools for up to 9 months, and researchers will measure how acceptable, appropriate, and feasible the bundle is.

What this could lead to
