Millions of Americans suffer from opioid use disorder (OUD) in the United States, resulting in thousands of deaths. The ongoing opioid crisis necessitates novel approaches to reduce the morbidity and mortality associated with misusing opioids. Studies using peer support models show success in engaging persons living with OUD in initiating treatment and decreasing relapse. Although most studies have focused on patients in clinical settings, community studies integrating peer community leaders also show promise. This viewpoint paper explores the use of peer coaches in online interventions in the community setting.
数以百万计的美国人患有阿片类药物使用障碍（OUD），导致数千人死亡。持续的阿片类药物危机需要新的方法来降低与滥用阿片类药物相关的发病率和死亡率。使用同伴支持模式的研究表明，在促使患有 OUD 的人开始治疗和减少复发方面取得了成功。尽管大多数研究都集中在临床环境中的患者，但整合同伴社区领导者的社区研究也显示出了希望。本文观点探讨了在社区环境中在线干预中使用同伴教练的问题。
