Filter by:This project aims to enroll 220 incarcerated individuals living with HIV, Hepatitis C (HCV), or history of substance misuse preparing for release into a pilot implementation study to test the feasibility and acceptability of an adapted Coordinated Transitional Care intervention in a Criminal Justice setting (CJC-TraC). Participants can expect to be on study for up to 6 months.
Emerging adults (ages 18-25) are at higher risk for substance use disorders, including opiate addiction, than any other age group but are also more likely to drop out early from substance use treatment services. This project will evaluate an enhancement to usual services, delivered by peer recovery supports, specifically aimed at improving treatment adherence and reducing dropout in this age group. The study will also answer key questions about risk factors for dropout among emerging adults and the financial sustainability of enhancing services to reduce dropout.
This is a prospective survey study of patients 12-21 years undergoing anesthetic care. The primary objective is to determine the incidence of illicit substance use and abuse prior to anesthetic care. The secondary objective is to determine the illicit substances used and their frequency in patients presenting for anesthetic care.
The research in neuroscience of the last 20 years is defined, in addition to continuing to advance in the field of behavioral and pharmacological therapy, by the birth and development of a new therapeutic category, called neuromodulation. Neuromodulation offers the possibility of producing changes in the Nervous System (SN) and therefore, in behavior, in addition to lasting over time. One of the most used non-invasive neuromodulation techniques is transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS). The benefits of tDCS are promising and varied, so it is a potential neurorehabilitation tool, which has also shown its greatest effectiveness when accompanied by complementary rehabilitation treatment. The present study focuses on the effect of tDCS on addiction. Specifically, there is a great problem with the high rates of relapse presented by those individuals who try to abandon addictive behavior. Therefore, the maintenance of the abstinence period is the central theme of addiction research and the main challenge of rehabilitation at present. For that aim, the intervention will be carried out in a sample in the intermediate phase (internal) in the NOESSO (No EstáS Sólo) therapeutic community (Almería, Spain), between day 15 after arrival and the first day to leave on leave (day 45-60). The research will be made up of a previous period of selection and collection of data related to addiction, together with two phases or moments of correlative intervention and evaluation. Users will receive a bilateral (F3/F4) and repeated stimulation of 2 mA intensity for 20 min each, that is, every 24h for 5 consecutive days in each phase. Through this procedure, the aim is to seek to increase adherence to treatment in the early intervention phase and decrease the dropout rate due to the enhancement of inhibitory control. On the other hand, in the second phase, advanced intervention is sought to reduce craving, through an improvement in inhibitory and emotional control at the time of returning to the context of real consumption. In order to increase the knowledge about intra-individual differences in the effect of tDCS, researchers will compare the early intervention (Phase 1, at the begging of the rehabilitation process) with the advanced intervention (Phase 2, right before the first leave).
The primary goal of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of the iDECIDE curriculum as an alternative to punitive responses for school-based substance use infractions.
The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and compliance of initial intravenous (IV) antibiotics followed by oral antibiotic therapy following uncomplicated IVDA endocarditis. Endocarditis has a high rate of sickness and death, involves a long hospitalization and a long-term use of IV antibiotics necessitating six (6) weeks of in-patient hospital stay, and comes with a high cost.
This study will examine the effectiveness of opioid use disorder (OUD) treatment linkage strategies for patients seen at sexual health clinics. This 3-arm RCT will compare Usual Care vs. Patient Navigation vs. Patient Navigation + Buprenorphine Initiation (UC vs. PN vs. PN+BUP).
In this study we research patient segmentation made by Suuntima-service and it´s impacts to Quality of care, Service use and Costs of care among Type 2 Diabetes patients and Substance Abuse patients. With this Suuntima-servise based segmentation we assume to find appropriate services and Self-Management to allocate Type 2 Diabetes and Substance Abuse patients. We plan their care pathways by Suuntiman-service customership strategies (Self-acting, community, co-operation, network).
This project is designed to test the Coalition Check-Up (CCU)-a theory-based and data-driven technical assistance (TA) system that supports community coalitions' implementation of evidence-based programs (EBPs) for drug prevention. The primary aims of the project are to: 1) Estimate the impact of the CCU on coalition capacity. Coalitions will be randomly assigned to the CCU or a 'TA as usual' condition to evaluate whether the CCU improves coalition capacity as measured by coalition member reports of team processes, network composition, and collaborative structure. 2) Estimate the impact of the CCU on implementation of evidence-based programs. The study will test the hypothesis that coalitions receiving the CCU will implement EBPs with greater: a) quantity, b) quality, and c) sustainability. The study will also test coalition capacity as a mediator of CCU impact on EBP implementation. 3) Estimate the impact of the CCU on youth substance use. The study will test the hypothesis that communities receiving the CCU will reduce youth substance use relative to communities in the comparison condition. The study will also test EBP implementation as a mediator of CCU impact on youth substance use.
Youth involved in the juvenile justice system (YJJ) bear a disproportionate burden of the addiction crisis. YJJ substance use (SU) is extremely prevalent, with a third of YJJ meeting criteria for a substance use disorder (SUD). The investigators seek to address the national addiction crisis at its epicenter. Despite their high need for SUD services, and the proliferation of evidence-based interventions to reduce SU, YJJ are rarely connected to needed, high-quality SU care. A care cascade model highlights gaps in YJJ achieving the full continuum of SUD care (i.e., SUD risk identification, treatment referral, treatment initiation, and treatment engagement). YJJ on community supervision/probation face a unique problem accessing SUD services; while the courts or probation may identify YJJ need for SUD care, YJJ must receive care through healthcare agencies in the community. The primary goal of the project, Alliances to Disseminate Addiction Prevention and Treatment (ADAPT) is to address this and other gaps along the care cascade for YJJ. The investigators will accomplish this goal by creating alliances between the juvenile justice system (JJ) agencies and community mental health centers (CMHCs) in eight Indiana counties. ADAPT takes a two-pronged approach. First, the investigators will employ a Learning Health System (LHS) to develop collaborative alliances between JJ agencies and CMHCs, organizations that traditionally operate independently. Second, the investigators will present local Cascade data during continuous quality improvement cycles within the LHS alliances. By offering agency representatives an opportunity to view and discuss, for example, the local rate at which YJJ with SUD risk are initiating CMHC SU services, the investigators will facilitate development of tailored, local solutions to improve the Cascade for each county's YJJ. To maximize long-term sustainability of ADAPT's JJ-CMHC alliances, the investigators will conduct this research in collaboration with leaders from an existing statewide initiative, the Juvenile Detention Alternatives Initiative (JDAI). JDAI is a juvenile justice reform effort that utilizes data-driven decision-making and is implemented in almost 300 counties across the US. If this project is successful, the JDAI infrastructure and support for this research will inform sustainment and expansion across Indiana and the nation. The investigators hypothesize that ADAPT - novel LHS alliances using Cascade data to implement localized solutions to YJJ receiving evidence-based addictions care - will positively impact SU and recidivism outcomes over time. The investigators seek to complete the following specific aims: AIM 1: Implement LHS alliances between JJ agencies and CMHCs. The investigators will establish LHS alliances: novel, collaborative partnerships between JJ agencies and CMHCs. AIM 2: Generate and track local solutions to address gaps in the Cascade for YJJ in rural Indiana counties. Quantifying local Cascade data will enable JJ agencies and CMHCs to suggest and implement tailored, evidenced-based interventions, which will be tracked through LHS quality improvement cycles. AIM 3: Assess implementation outcomes and processes. We will assess implementation outcomes, such as system alliance, among JJ and CHMC personnel using mixed methods. AIM 4: Assess the impact of ADAPT. Conduct a stepped wedge cluster randomized controlled trial to assess the impact of LHS alliances on the Cascade for YJJ. We will analyze administrative data linked across JJ and health systems to assess the long-term, community-wide effects of ADAPT on public health and safety outcomes (e.g., lower rates of SU-related outcomes and criminal recidivism).
