RESUMEN

INTRODUCTION: It is crucial to identify and evaluate feasible, proactive ways to reach teens with eating disorders (EDs) who may not otherwise have access to screening or treatment. This study aimed to explore the feasibility of recruiting teens with EDs to a digital intervention study via social media and a publicly available online ED screen, and to compare the characteristics of teens recruited by each approach in an exploratory fashion. METHOD: Teens aged 14-17 years old who screened positive for a clinical/subclinical ED or at risk for an ED and who were not currently in ED treatment completed a baseline survey to assess current ED symptoms, mental health comorbidities, and barriers to treatment. Bivariate analyses were conducted to examine differences between participants recruited via social media and those recruited after completion of a widely available online EDs screen (i.e., National Eating Disorders Association [NEDA] screen). RESULTS: Recruitment of teens with EDs using the two online approaches was found to be feasible, with 934 screens completed and a total of 134 teens enrolled over 6 months: 77% (n = 103) via social media 23% (n = 31) via the NEDA screen. Mean age of participants (N = 134) was 16 years old, with 49% (n = 66) identifying as non-White, and 70% (n = 94) identifying as a gender and/or sexual minority. Teens from NEDA reported higher ED psychopathology scores (medium effect size) and more frequent self-induced vomiting and driven exercise (small effect sizes). Teens from NEDA also endorsed more barriers to treatment, including not feeling ready for treatment and not knowing where to find a counselor or other resources (small effect sizes). DISCUSSION: Online recruitment approaches in this study reached a large number of teens with an interest in a digital intervention to support ED recovery, demonstrating the feasibility of these outreach methods. Both approaches reached teens with similar demographic characteristics; however, teens recruited from NEDA reported higher ED symptom severity and barriers to treatment. Findings suggest that proactive assessment and intervention methods should be developed and tailored to meet the needs of each of these groups. PUBLIC SIGNIFICANCE: This study examined the feasibility of recruiting teens with EDs to a digital intervention research study via social media and NEDA's online screen, and demonstrated differences in ED symptoms among participants by recruitment approach.

RESUMEN

Opioid use among pregnant and postpartum women and people (PPWP) has significant health repercussions. This study explores how substance-use behaviors may vary by stage in recovery among PPWP with opioid use disorder (OUD). We recruited 29 PPWP with OUD. "High-risk" participants self-identified as "not being engaged in treatment" or "new or early in their recovery" (n = 11); "low-risk" participants self-identified as being "well-established" or "in long-term recovery" (n = 18). Participants were queried regarding sociodemographic, mental health, and drug-misuse factors; urine drug screens were collected at baseline. Univariate group comparisons between high-risk and low-risk PPWP were conducted. High-risk PPWP were more likely to self-identify as non-Hispanic African American and more likely to report current opioid use, other illicit drugs, and tobacco. High-risk PPWP had higher opioid cravings versus low-risk PPWP. High-risk PPWP were more likely to screen positive on urine tests for non-opioid drugs and on concurrent use of both non-opioid drugs and opioids versus low-risk participants. PPWP earlier in recovery are at higher-risk for opioid and other illicit drug misuse but are willing to disclose aspects of their recent use. PPWP early in recovery are an ideal population for interventions that can help facilitate recovery during the perinatal period and beyond.
