One of the nation s largest research projects aimed at measuring the outcomes of medication-assisted recovery (MAR) housing for opioid-use disorder will launch this spring, led by harm reduction specialists at The University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston (UTHealth) in partnership with the Health and Human Services Commission s Texas Targeted Opioid Response Program (TTOR).
Project HOMES, funded by a $9 million contract from the TTOR program, provides housing for individuals participating in medication-assisted recovery.
The project will provide level II and level III certified recovery residences for individuals across Texas who are recovering from problematic opioid use and using MAR as part of their recovery plan. The study team aims to understand how outcomes vary among residents in MAR homes who have peer recovery coaches in comparison to those who do not have peer recovery coaches, and to those in non-MAR housing.

COVID-19 swab testing may not be good for people with a history of sinus or skull-base surgery
People who have had major sinus surgery should consult their ENT doctor before undergoing COVID-19 swab testing, new research indicates.
Likewise, those performing swab testing should ask whether the patient has had extensive sinus or skull base surgery, said Philip G. Chen, MD, study senior author from The University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio (UT Health San Antonio). If so, other modes of testing such as at the back of the throat should be performed, said Dr. Chen, associate professor of otolaryngology-head and neck surgery in the university s Joe R. and Teresa Lozano Long School of Medicine.
