Filter by:This study will adapt and test a culturally tailored, multi-component, and trauma-focused digital intervention to reduce the risk and effects of youth violence and substance use and bridge service access gaps for young Black males (YBM) in pediatric emergency and community-based low-resource settings.
Current clinical guidelines for medication assisted treatment (MAT) of opioid use disorder (OUD) recommend that treatment include a psychosocial component to help address psychological factors related to addiction. However, a knowledge gap exists regarding the most effective forms of psychosocial intervention and what interventions are most effective for different types of patients. This gap represents a significant barrier to the widespread implementation of effective office-based opioid treatment (OBOT) with buprenorphine, which is important to improving opioid treatment and responding to the critical needs of individuals living with OUD. The overarching goal of this patient-centered research is to address the diverse needs and preferences of OUD patients in regards to psychosocial approaches and to overcome the "one-size-fits-all" strategies that are typically used to treat OUD. Importantly, the investigators arrived at this goal, in part, through collaboration and consultation with former patients who have received different types of treatments for OUD. In this manner, patients provided important insight to inform the selection of interventions to be evaluated, patient characteristics that may differentially impact the effects of the interventions, and the patient outcomes to be examined.
This is an observational, retrospective & prospective cohort study. The retrospective element of the study is a chart review to identify people with diagnosed but untreated HCV and re-link them to care. The observational prospective cohort element of the study will examine the HCV linkage to care, treatment initiation, treatment completion & cure rates of these HCV clients achieved through this chart review and re-linking approach.
There are high rates of co-occurring posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) among patients receiving treatment for substance use disorder (SUD). PTSD and SUD should be treated simultaneously, but adults in SUD treatment are often not assessed for PTSD nor offered PTSD-based interventions. One of the reasons for reluctance in offering trauma focused treatment is increased risk of drop out. PTSD and related emotion dysregulation are related to elevated psychological burden, higher dropout rates and increased risk of relapse. this is a feasibility study, where the plan is to integrate a combination of Dialectical Behaviour Therapy for Substance Use Disorder (DBT-SUD skills) a therapy targeting difficulties in emotion regulation and Narrative Exposure Therapy (NET) a trauma focused therapy, for patients with co-occurring PTSD symptoms into standard SUD treatment . The plan is to assess its potential benefits by assessing whether adding this combination to standard SUD treatment is relevant, feasible, acceptable, and safe. Treatment outcomes are 1) Prevalence of PTSD, suicidal behaviour, and self-harm, as well as the severity of difficulties in emotion regulation and emotional avoidance among patients (N approx. = 100) in inpatient treatment for SUD. 2) Change post-treatment and at 3 and 12 months follow up, from baseline in PTSD symptom severity, depressive symptoms, emotion regulation, emotion avoidance, and experience of shame. 3) Rates of dropout and relapse compared to previous rates. This project can increase knowledge about psychological mechanisms in co-occurring PTSD and SUD and improve the quality of treatment for this vulnerable patient population.
The goal of this pilot trial is to develop and test a telehealth intervention for OUD care delivery and refine measurement strategies. The specific aims are to: 1) identify components of an effective telehealth intervention and barriers to implementation, 2) partner with an advisory board of OUD treatment stakeholders from different settings to develop a telehealth intervention for OUD treatment with buprenorphine, and 3) conduct a pilot trial of the telehealth intervention for OUD treatment. The investigators will enroll 60 patients, 30 individuals who are currently enrolled in in-person OUD treatment with buprenorphine, with a treatment episode duration of 1-3 months, and 30 individuals who are not currently receiving OUD treatment but approved for treatment intake at buprenorphine clinic by an OUD treatment clinician, to receive the telehealth for OUD care delivery intervention. The investigators will measure clinical, implementation, and patient satisfaction outcomes.
This research study will test the effectiveness of a culturally grounded parenting intervention called Parenting in 2 Worlds (P2W). This intervention is designed for American Indian / Alaska Native (AI) parents/guardians of adolescents who reside in urban areas. This will be a multi-regional effectiveness trial across four regions: Northeast (Buffalo/Niagara), Midwest (St. Paul/Minneapolis), Mountain (Denver), and Southwest (Phoenix). There are four specific aims. First, this study will test the effectiveness of Parenting in Two Worlds (P2W) as compared to an informational family health intervention, Healthy Families in 2 Worlds (HF2W), in improving parenting and family functioning. Second, this study will test if the relative effectiveness of P2W, compared to HF2W, varies by parent's/guardian's level of socioeconomic vulnerability, experiences of historical loss, or AI cultural identity. Third, this study will examine if P2W can reduce adolescent (ages 12 - 17) risky health behaviors including substance use, depressive symptoms, suicidality, and risky sexual behaviors. Fourth, this study will examine whether positive changes in parenting and family functioning that result from P2W lead to positive changes in adolescent's health behaviors.
The purpose of this Phase 1a study is to evaluate safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics (PK) of single, ascending doses of CS-1103, administered by intravenous (IV) infusion in healthy participants.
Only a small fraction of youth who are beginning to experience behavioral health problems and use alcohol or illicit drugs receive needed treatment services due to the lack of accessible, effective early intervention resources. The goal of this clinical trial is to compare a personalized brief web-based early intervention, eHealth Personalized Approach for Change Efficacy (ePACE), in which youth are offered choices regarding intervention content and desired level of engagement, to a "fixed", non-tailored brief intervention, eHealth Fixed Approach for Change Efficacy (eFACE) for adolescents with mild/moderate substance use and common co-occurring problems. Both ePACE and eFACE include a multi-problem screener that guides youths through a set of key integrated behavior change and counseling modules providing a cohesive focus on these four problem domains: drug abuse, interpersonal relations, negative emotions and stress. The main questions the trial aims to answer are: - Are substance use and co-occurring problem outcomes for ePACE and eFACE are superior to those for a waitlist comparison group (WC) - Are outcomes for ePACE are superior to those for eFACE - Are the direct effects of ePACE and eFACE (i.e., the improvements in substance use and co-occurring problem outcomes) associated with improvements in areas of functioning and new skills that are hypothesized to produce change -- that is, are the improvements shown in the ePACE and eFACE groups due to the mechanisms by which change is hypothesized to occur Participants in ePACE and eFACE will complete a baseline assessment prior to engaging in the intervention to which they are assigned and will complete post-intervention assessments 3 months and 6 months later. Participants in the WC group will complete three assessments: at baseline, 3-months, and 6-months.
The purpose of this pilot randomized clinical trial is to test the feasibility and efficacy of written exposure therapy (WET) for posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) within the context of residential substance use disorder (SUD) treatment. All participants meet criteria for PTSD and are in a short term residential SUD treatment program (target residential treatment duration = 28 days) regardless of the research. The main questions the study aims to answer are: 1) Is the delivery of WET feasible in short term residential SUD treatment for individuals with severe SUD; 2) Do participants in the TAU+WET condition have greater reductions in PTSD symptoms pre/post treatment compared to participants in TAU alone?
The investigators implemented a multi-site hospital-based opioid use disorder (OUD) treatment intervention across 12 hospitals in Colorado to address an OUD treatment gap among hospitalized adults with OUD.
