Filter by:This NIDA-funded HEAL Initiative: Opioid Use Disorder Care Pathways for Individuals with Histories of Exposure to Violence R61 seeks to develop and test a brief video intervention to deliver during Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner (SANE) care and a brief text messaging intervention to deliver in the month after the assault to prevent the onset or escalation of PTSD and opioid misuse among survivors of sexual assault.
The purpose of this study is to develop culturally-competent family-focused educational modules targeting opioid knowledge and attitudes (including targeting safe storage and prevention of accidental opioid overdose in adolescent populations) and examine changes acceptability, knowledge, and attitudes scores
This project will test the effectiveness of the Inclusive Skill-building Learning Approach (ISLA) in reducing the use of exclusionary discipline, improving teacher practice and student outcomes, and decreasing substance misuse using a randomized controlled trial in 60 middle schools across six states.
Opioid misuse and addiction among children and adolescents is an increasingly concerning problem. Post-surgical opioid prescriptions for commonly performed surgeries such as anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) increase opioid exposure in young athletes. The purpose of the current study is to determine if extended-release Bupivacaine Liposome Injectable Suspension (Exparel) is effective in decreasing at home narcotic consumption compared to standard Bupivacaine Adductor Canal Block for Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) reconstruction/reconstruction for the surgical treatment of adolescents with ACL tears and concomitant pathology i.e. meniscus / cartilage injury/tear.
Three-arm randomized controlled trial, of Motivational Interviewing and guided Opioid Tapering support (MI-Opioid Taper) and tizanidine vs. MI-Opioid Taper and placebo vs. enhanced usual care to promote postoperative opioid cessation and pain cessation and reduce the incidence of postoperative opioid misuse among patients undergoing spine surgery.
This is a clinical study to implement and evaluate a hospital-wide, operational intervention for a real-time natural language processing (NLP)-driven clinical decision support (CDS) tool, called Substance Misuse Algorithm for Referral to Treatment Using Artificial Intelligence (SMART-AI). The SMART-AI CDS tool will be evaluated via implementation in the UW Health electronic health record (EHR). The CDS tool is meant for screening inpatient adults for opioid misuse as part of a best practice alert to nurses and providers for addiction consult service needs.
Microdosing induction is a novel method of starting buprenorphine/naloxone without patients experiencing the opioid withdrawal that is a part of traditional induction. Patients take small doses of buprenorphine/naloxone that increase slowly over a week. Although microdosing induction has been supported anecdotally, its effectiveness is not known. The proposed study will compare the effectiveness and safety of two induction strategies for transitioning patients from opioids to buprenorphine/naloxone. All inductions will occur in an outpatient telehealth opioid use disorder (OUD) treatment setting. The study will compare patients who receive traditional induction versus microdosing induction. Primary outcomes include effectiveness and safety. Secondary outcomes include treatment retention, self-reported use of opioids during induction, return to opioid use, opioid appearance in drug screens, craving/withdrawal symptoms, and patient satisfaction.
The goal of this experimental study is to compare different education intervention on opioid education for patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty. The specific research questions to address are: 1. Does perioperative education pathway reduce opioid refill requests? 2. Is education pathway that focuses on pain management provided in-person and via video in repeated sessions more effective than current standard of care education consisting of a single exposure given as part of a broader preoperative presentation covering multiple topics? 3. Is there a difference between education provided in-person vs video? 4. Does perioperative education improve compliance with multimodal analgesia? 5. Does perioperative education improve appropriate opioid storage? 6. Does perioperative education improve appropriate opioid disposal? Enrolled patients will be assigned at random to one of 3 study groups. Group 1 (control): Patients are referred to the hospital's standard 1-hour virtual patient education webinar prior to surgery. Group 2 (in-person): Patients will receive two in-person education sessions (1st session before surgery and 2nd session after surgery). Patients will also receive portable document format (pdf) handouts about opioid and pain management. Group 3 (video): Patients will receive two video education sessions (1st session before surgery and 2nd session after surgery). Patients will also receive pdf handouts about opioid and pain management.
Given the nationwide epidemic of opioid use and abuse (in part due to over prescription), this study aims at addressing the need for opioid prescription after laparoscopic hysterectomy.
The proposed study aims to develop and implement a text message intervention that will instruct and motivate individuals to securely store opioid medications during treatment and subsequently dispose of unused medications following treatment. It is relevant to public health as it is expected to meet the critical need of reducing the diversion of prescription opioids for nonmedical use. The proposed research is relevant to National Institute on Drug Abuse's priorities to develop and implement theoretically based, prevention interventions that can be scalable in healthcare settings to elicit population-level impacts to address the opioid crisis.
