The effectiveness of internet- and field-based methods to recruit young adults who use prescription opioids nonmedically.
This study researched the effectiveness of field- and Internet-based methods to recruit young adults who are nonmedical prescription opioid (NMPO) users into intervention and treatment. Data was analyzed from the Rhode Island Young Adult Prescription Drug Study (RAPiDS). Internet-based recruitment was more successful (60.1%). Out of 198 eligible participants, median age was 25, and the majority were male, white, and resided in an urban area. Field-based recruited participants were more likely to be homeless, have been incarcerated and engage in daily NMPO use.
