Clinical Trial Summary

TCN PATHS will recruit an anticipated 400 participants who are prescribed MOUD who are released from detention facilities. Each individual will be randomized to either 1) standard primary care (SPC) or 2) a Transitions Clinic Network (TCN) program primary care. Participants will be followed for a year and complete surveys at baseline and at month 1, 3, 6, 9, and 12. At each of these points research staff will confirm MOUD status. Urine drug screenings will be completed at baseline, month 1, 6, and 12 if the participant is not incarcerated. When possible, research staff will collect electronic health records.


Clinical Trial Description

Purpose: The overall objective of this study is to assess whether the Transitions Clinic Network (TCN) program, which provides enhanced primary care and opioid use disorder (OUD) treatment for people recently released from incarceration, improves measures in the opioid treatment cascade compared to referral to standard primary care. Participants: An anticipated 400 individuals currently receiving medications for OUD released from eight local jails (Durham, NC; Minneapolis, MN; Bronx, NY; Bridgeport and Niantic, CT; and Bayamón and Ponce, Puerto Rico) Procedures: This is a hybrid type I effectiveness-implementation trial will randomize an anticipated 400 participants to one of two treatment conditions: TCN or standard primary care. People will complete the enrollment process while in jail (recruitment, screening, consent, baseline assessments, and randomization). Due to COVID-19 restrictions some jails are limiting researcher assess to people and some of our sites may enroll participants once they are released, this is referred to as a community enrollment. Post participants will meet with research assistants for a structured interview and urine toxicology screening at 1, 6, and 12 months, and a phone interview at months 3 and 9. 120 people will be selected to participate in Intensive Longitudinal Assessment (ILA) to access both the acceptability and appropriateness of the TCN intervention and the multi-level facilitators and barriers of OUD treatment engagement in the first 30 days following release from incarceration. ;
