Summary
Many people with substance use disorders struggle with decisions regarding whether to disclose to others that they have a history of substance use and/or are in recovery. Yet, these decisions are important because disclosures can lead to reactions from others that harm or help recovery. For example, stigmatizing responses can harm the mental health of people in recovery whereas supportive responses can strengthen people's commitment to their sobriety. We have developed a brief intervention to help people decide whether and how to tell others about their recovery as well as build skills for disclosure. The purpose of this study is to pilot test this intervention and test its acceptability and feasibility as well as determine if it shows preliminary signs of efficacy in comparison to a control condition. We hypothesize that: (1) participants exposed to the intervention condition will agree that the intervention is acceptable and feasible, and (2) participants in the intervention condition will report higher quality decision making in comparison to participants in the control condition.
