 We have some exciting news. Women For Sobriety is participating in a large research study funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to collect data on a range of mutual-help alternatives for addiction, including Women For Sobriety. The study, called the Peer Alternatives for Addiction 2 (PAL2) Study, builds on a prior study by the same team (PAL1) and involves study of diverse mutual-help group options—including Women For Sobriety.
PAL2 data will be used to understand the specific aspects of mutual-help group participation that promote recovery. Data will also help us understand who benefits most from which group. The results will help addiction treatment providers to make informed referrals to mutual-help groups. They will also help people seeking peer support to make the best choices possible for their recovery pathways.
To learn more about the study and participate, go to www.pal2study.org. Study participants will receive Amazon gift cards for their participation totaling up to $115. Study participants must be 18 or over, be a U.S. resident, and have attended (or led) a meeting in the past 30 days. Individuals surveyed for PAL1 may not participate.
Please feel free to email the PAL2 Principal Investigator, Sarah Zemore, szemore@arg.org, or the Project Coordinator, Joanne Delk, pal2study@arg.org, with questions.
Thank you in advance for your help and support of Women For Sobriety! |
