The Justice Community Overdose Innovation Network (JCOIN), part of the Helping to End Addiction Long-termSM Initiative, or NIH HEAL InitiativeSM, provides support to study approaches to increase high-quality care for people with opioid misuse and opioid use disorder in justice settings. JCOIN will test strategies to expand effective treatment and care in partnership with local and state justice systems and community-based treatment providers.
The study team will work to increase the uptake of emerging evidence-based innovations (EBIs) by promoting the translation of scientific findings into practice for criminal legal system populations. The team will create and test a model for EBI spread and scale-up to assist researchers and practitioners in the field with their initiatives and provide a conceptual framework that researchers can use to study spread and scale-up practice.
