Summary

This completed study worked with 65 African American/Black adults who use cocaine or other illicit substances to develop a manual called I-DREM. The goal was to gather their feedback on how to improve recruitment and retention in substance use disorder clinical trials. Participants completed questionnaires to measure changes in research knowledge. The findings may help make future trials more inclusive and representative.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

What this could lead to
If successful, this manual could help researchers better recruit and retain African American/Black participants in future substance use disorder studies, making those trials more inclusive.
What could go wrong
This was a small, completed study focused on developing a manual, not testing a treatment. The manual's real-world impact on recruitment is not yet proven.
