Dr. Rosemarie Martin was recenly awarded $10.8 million for Opioid Treatment aimed at parolees and people on probation. The research award from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) was made to Brown University School of Public Health for research by Rosemarie Martin, Ph.D., and Damaris Rohsenow, Ph.D., along with Lauren Brinkley-Rubenstein, Ph.D., of University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. The research study will use a hybrid implementation/effectiveness design to evaluate a systems change approach to increasing linkage to medications for opioid abuse in seven probation and parole sites in three states, and investigate the added benefit of peer counseling on opioid-related overdoses and deaths. This is part of NIH’s signature initiative for addressing the opioid crisis through a widespread program of research on addiction and pain.
