Filter by:The overall aim of the study is to explore substance use, tobacco use and lifestyle-related health problems among ageing patients in Opioid Maintenance Treatment (OMT), and other SUD treatment. The study will use already collected data from the multi-center, longitudinal, observational NorComt study (Norwegian Cohort of Patients in Opioid Maintenance Treatment and Other Drug Treatment study). NorComt is the largest longitudinal study of SUD patients in Norway. The data consists of data from OMT and other substance use disorders (SUD) treatment (N=548).
Many prescription opioids following surgery are left unused and are at risk of being misused or diverted. Encouraging proper disposal is important, yet motivating this behavior remains challenging as patients must understand the risks of opioids, the benefits of disposal, and identify opportunities and places to dispose of them safely. Alternative disposal techniques can improve disposal rates but may be lost or forgotten. Applying behavioral economics techniques may lower the barriers and promote disposal. The objective is to test the effect of a specifically timed, mailed, at-home kit on disposal rates following surgery.
The primary objective is a clinical superiority effectiveness contrast to standard of care. Reported following SPIRIT and CONSORT standards, the study will determine whether extended-release injectable depot Buprenorphine (XR-Bup) maintenance therapy for OUD over six months is clinically superior to standard-of-care, oral medication (sublingual Buprenorphine [SL-Bup] or oral methadone [Met]; together: Bup/Met)
Millions of people in the US misuse opioids each year, leading to thousands of deaths and costing billions of dollars in total economic burden. Medication assisted treatment (MAT) for opioid use disorder (OUD) is highly efficacious, but only a fraction of OUD persons access MAT, and treatment non-adherence is common and associated with poor outcomes. This STTR Fast Track proposal is designed to increase rates of Suboxone (buprenorphine/naloxone) treatment initiation and adherence among OUD patients recruited from emergency and inpatient acute care. To accomplish these aims, the project will enhance the Opioid Addiction Recovery Support (OARS), an existing Q2i company technology, with a new evidence-based reward, contingency management (CM) function. CM interventions systematically reward (reinforce) specific behaviors like treatment initiation and adherence with therapy attendance and drug-free urine tests and are highly efficacious. An OARS solution enhanced with a CM component (OARSCM) that allows for the automatic calculation, delivery, and redemption of rewards contingent on objective evidence of treatment behaviors may be key to improving Suboxone initiation and adherence. In Phase 1 of this proposal, the existing OARS clinician portal and patient mobile application will be modified to accommodate entry into the software system from an acute care setting and to automatically manage and deliver rewards to create OARSCM using patient-centered design principles. Focus groups with OUD patients and other key stakeholders will inform design. Primary usability outcomes will be examined, and the program iteratively updated. After meeting milestones, there was a proof-of-concept pilot of usability, acceptability, and effects on initial behavior targets with approximately 20 patients and at least 4 providers.
The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of exposure to stigma reduction message frames communicated by visual campaigns and narrative vignettes among a national sample of health professionals.
The purpose of this study is to provide medication for opioid use disorder (MOUD) with buprenorphine and naloxone, or bup/nx, pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) for HIV prevention, and/or hepatitis C treatment for persons who inject opioids accessing syringe services programs (SSPs), as part of a comprehensive harm reduction program, and assess the acceptability and feasibility of using telemedicine to implement the program. The initial visit will be conducted in person or remotely via telemedicine given COVID-19 protocols at the SSP site in Greensboro, North Carolina (NC); follow-up visits will be conducted via telemedicine.
This project aims to implement a peer-led intervention to support retention and adherence to medications for opioid use disorder among low-income adults in Detroit, as well as a training manual for peer recovery coaches serving similar populations. The approach will serve as a guide to coaches in providing positive reinforcement and helping those in treatment to schedule and engage in valued activities. Researchers will examine the effectiveness of the intervention, supervision and training models, and share results with policymakers and treatment programs.
This study is a multi-site, randomized pragmatic trial being conducted at three diverse sites. The study, called the Substance Use Treatment and Recovery Team (START), will evaluate whether a collaborative care team increases the use of two interventions-medication for opioid use disorder (MOUD), and opioid use disorder (OUD) focused discharge planning-among hospitalized patients with OUD, and improves linkage to follow-up care relative to usual care. The START consists of an addiction medicine specialist and a care manager who will use evidence-based tools to decrease barriers to MOUD and engage patients with post-discharge OUD care. A total of 414 patients will be randomized from Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles, the University of New Mexico Hospital in Albuquerque, and Baystate Health in Springfield, Massachusetts to receive either START or usual care, stratifying by prior MOUD exposure and site.
The goal of this project is to engage community members from two low-income African American communities (N=200) in a survey study that assesses stigma toward those with Opioid Use Disorder (OUD). Those from the intervention community will be subject to a stigma reduction campaign via billboards. Those from the control community will not. Stigma will be re-assessed following the period of the campaign.
The purpose of this research study is to test the effect of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) on opioid cravings among adult patients with Opioid Use Disorder.
