Review: New.
Respondents/Affected Public:
Grantees, beneficiaries, and peer
recovery coaches.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Responses: 434 respondents.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Burden Hours: 188 hours.
Abstract: The purpose of this
evaluation is to study questions
regarding grantees’ use of the peer
recovery coach model and better
determine how effective the model is at
increasing individuals’ recovery capital,
increasing attendance of health services,
and decreasing incidence of substance

coaches and grantee organizations. The
research questions for this evaluation
are:
1. Determine what recovery coach
models look like (activity, setting,
modality, etc.).
2. Describe promising practices and
challenges in implementing these
models.
3. Measure the effectiveness of the
recovery coach model in improving
outcomes for grantee organizations,
recovery coaches, and beneficiaries.
AmeriCorps will conduct a bundled
evaluation of grantees that are
implementing opioid recovery coaching
models. Bundling allows AmeriCorps to
combine a group of small programs
across different funding streams with
similar program models and intended
outcomes into a single evaluation.
Spanning 27 months, the evaluation
will work with 14 grantees to examine
program design, implementation, and
outcomes using surveys, interviews, and
focus groups with a wide range of
stakeholders, including grantee staff,
volunteers who support the peer
