Filter by:This research project is a pragmatic, randomized evaluation of a quality improvement initiative which seeks to evaluate the effects of standardizing the use of a BH-VPN program among patients with a telepsychiatric consult. The outcomes evaluation of this intervention has been designed to integrate with routine care and minimize frontline staff burden by deploying an evaluation in a real-world setting.
This Stage II randomized, controlled, longitudinal trial seeks to assess the acceptability, feasibility, and effects of a driving decision aid use among geriatric patients and providers. This multi-site trial will (1) test the driving decision aid (DDA) in improving decision making and quality (knowledge, decision conflict, values concordance and behavior intent); and (2) determine its effects on specific subpopulations of older drivers (stratified for cognitive function, decisional capacity, and attitudinally readiness for a mobility transition). The overarching hypotheses are that the DDA will help older adults make high-quality decisions, which will mitigate the negative psychosocial impacts of driving reduction, and that optimal DDA use will target certain populations and settings.
This study will test the effects of an intervention to reduce substance use and related harms among people leaving rural jails or otherwise involved in the criminal justice system. This study will compare people in a health linkage intervention with people who will get overdose (OD) education. Everyone will take part in the baseline and follow-up surveys and receive OD education. Participants will be assigned to one of the two groups by chance based on when they are enrolled to the study and if their county is randomly assigned to an intervention or a comparison condition. By doing this study, the investigators hope to learn if providing linkage to health services along with HIV, hepatitis C virus (HCV), and overdose education to people leaving rural jails or otherwise involved in the criminal justice system will reduce substance use and related harms.
The purpose of this study is to estimate the observed incidence of the health outcomes (suicide attempt or ideation, suicide ideation, suicide attempt, psychosis, and substance abuse) in a cohort of participants diagnosed with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) who are first-line new therapy with methylphenidate monotherapy, lisdexamfetamine monotherapy, atomoxetine monotherapy, amphetamine/dextroamphetamine combo therapy, and either methylphenidate/lisdexamfetamine/atomoxetine monotherapy or amphetamine/dextroamphetamine combo therapy during the 'on treatment' period from 7 days after the start of exposure through the end of exposure (treatment discontinuation for at least 60 days) and the 'intent to treat' period from 7 days after start of treatment to end of continuous observation; and to compare the hazards of outcomes (suicide attempt or ideation, suicide ideation, suicide attempt, psychosis, and substance abuse) in the target cohort (participants diagnosed with ADHD who are first-line monotherapy new users of methylphenidate) versus each comparator cohort (patients diagnosed with ADHD who are first-line newly exposed to lisdexamfetamine monotherapy, atomoxetine monotherapy, amphetamine/dextroamphetamine combo therapy) during the 'on treatment' period from 7 days after the start of exposure through the end of exposure (treatment discontinuation for at least 60 days) and the 'intent to treat' period from 7 days after start of treatment to end of continuous observation.
A double-blind, randomized crossover study to assess the subjective abuse potential of intravenous remimazolam compared to midazolam and placebo in recreational CNS depressant users
The proposed study is a clinical trial, designed to pilot test a Distress Tolerance-Benzodiazepine Discontinuation (DT-BD) intervention for patients on opioid agonist therapy who currently use benzodiazepines. The DT-BD intervention is an adjunctive psychosocial intervention in people seeking to discontinue (BZD) use. The goal of the study is to assess the applicability and feasibility of this intervention through treatment retention and qualitative interviews with four participants who are receiving opioid agonist treatment and who regularly use BZDs.
The primary objective is to evaluate the effectiveness of the virtual behavioral health integration (VBHI) program compared to usual care, on reducing the total cost of care reimbursed from Medicare and value-based contracts within 90 days of a patient's primary care visit.
This is a prospective cohort study of drug addicts confined in Zhejiang rehabilitation centers. The primary aim of this study is to investigate the association between diet and health status among drug addicts. The second aim is to characterize the continuous blood glucose response to dietary intakes over 2 weeks. The third aim is to describe the dynamic changes of gut microbiota at three time points in drug addicts during compulsory detoxification and to evaluate the association between gut microbiota, diet and addiction severity.
Among patients with opioid use disorder (OUD), 90% report lifetime trauma exposure and 33% meet criteria for posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The co-occurrence of OUD and PTSD is associated with worse mental health and opioid agonist treatment (OAT) outcomes relative to either diagnosis alone. Prolonged exposure therapy (PET) is an efficacious cognitive-behavioral treatment for reducing PTSD severity. Although preliminary findings indicate that PET may reduce PTSD symptom severity among patients receiving treatment for concomitant OUD, it is unclear to what extent improvements were a function of PET versus the effects of OAT itself. Therefore, the question of whether OAT alone may attenuate PTSD symptoms in the absence of intensive cognitive-behavioral therapy remains unanswered. In this 12-week trial, we aim to investigate the contribution of PET above and beyond OAT alone for reducing PTSD symptoms among adults with concurrent PTSD and OUD. Participants will be randomized to one of three conditions: (a) OAT as usual, (b) OAT + PET, or (c) OAT + Enhanced PET (OAT+PET+). Those randomized to OAT as usual will continue to receive standard buprenorphine or methadone treatment from their current treatment provider and complete assessments of PTSD symptom severity, psychosocial functioning and drug use at intake and Study Weeks 4, 8, and 12. In addition to receiving OAT and completing monthly assessments, OAT+PET participants will receive PET consisting of 12 weekly, individual sessions with a trained therapist. Finally, OAT+PET+ participants will receive the procedures noted above for the OAT+PET group plus monetary incentives delivered contingent upon completion of PET sessions. Given the poor PET adherence rates reported among patients with substance use disorders, the use of incentives will ensure that we evaluate PET effects among patients who receive a sufficient dose of therapy. The proposed study design will permit us to disentangle the effects of PET from the effects of OAT alone while also including experimental conditions that reflect real-world practice. Taken together, this project will produce important new scientific and clinically-relevant information related to the mechanisms through which OAT and PET promote reductions in PTSD symptomatology in a highly vulnerable clinical population.
The study purpose is to investigate how an inpatient recovery coaching intervention can overcome or mitigate specific risk factors and barriers to initiating and maintaining Substance Use Disorder recovery. This study will offer insight into how and why an inpatient link to recovery coaching is effective for promoting long-term Substance Use Disorder recovery.
