Rural Communities Opioids Response Program (RCORP)
Abstract
The Health Resources & Services Administration’s Federal Office of Rural Health Policy funded the Rural Communities Opioids Response Program (RCORP) to help rural communities across the U.S. to increase prevention, treatment, and recovery services for rural residents with substance use disorder. As part of the initiative, JBS International was funded to provide technical assistance (TA) to grantee recipients to support their grant activities. The WWAMI Rural Health Research Center conducted an evaluation of the TA provided to RCORP grantees from March 1, 2022 – September 30, 2023. The WWAMI RHRC evaluation of TA resulted in reports and briefs covering multiple types of TA, including TA events, and feedback from grantees on the TA they received. This body of work offers lessons on how to support rural communities working to address the opioid epidemic.
