RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute on behalf of the County Grant Agreement #78-017 with The Board of Trustees of the Leland Stanford Junior University, to pay the County in an amount not to exceed $161,787 to collaborate with the Contra Costa Health Services (CCHS) Choosing Change Program, to study the impact of a psychosocial, community reinforcement approach to treating patients in recovery for the period June 1, 2021 through May 31, 2023.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Approval of this grant agreement will result in an amount up to $161,787 payable to the County. No County match is required.

BACKGROUND:

This grant agreement will allow CCHS to collaborate with The Board of Trustees of the Leland Stanford Junior University regarding planning, training, implementing, evaluating and analyzing data for the Integrated Support Persons Into Recovery (Inspire) study. The study tests whether engaging the patient’s significant other in an evidence based psychosocial intervention, community reinforcement approach and family training improves patient’s engagement and retention in Office-Based Buprenorphine-Naloxone Therapy (OBOT) compared to patients only receiving OBOT. The study will take place within Contra Costa Choosing Change Clinics and will involve clinic personnel, administrators, medical and behavioral health providers and other County staff. This grant was previous provided by The Rand Corporation for the period from September 2, 2019 through September 30, 2021.

This agreement is being requested retroactively due the Health Services Department not receiving the finalized agreement until October 20, 2022.

Under new Grant Agreement #78-017, the County will receive funds to study the impact of psychosocial, community reinforcement approach to treating patients in recovery for the period from June 1, 2021 through May 31, 2023. This agreement includes agreeing to indemnify and hold harmless the grantor and sponsor for any claims arising out of the County’s performance under the agreement.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this agreement is not approved, the County will not receive the necessary funding to support the study on the impact of psychosocial, community reinforcement approach to treating patients in recovery.
