Filter by:This research evaluates a tool designed for measurement-based care in addiction treatment. Patients in addiction treatment will be invited to complete weekly measures indicating treatment progress and goals. For half the patients, their addiction treatment clinician will be able to view their weekly progress and goals via a secure dashboard. The research will test the feasibility and acceptability of the measurement-based care tool and will evaluate its impact on within-session discussion topics and clinical outcome measures.
The purpose of this research is to identify the New Psychoactive Substances (NPS) that are responsible for intoxicating patients in ski resort during winter activities.
This study was conducted to determine the effect of mindfulness-based education given to individuals with substance-use disorder according to Self-Efficacy Theory on self-efficacy perception. Sample was 112 (ewperimental group: 56; control group: 56) alpha=0,05 and power=0,80 et the and of study. The experimental group recevied, prepared in accordance with mindfulness, self-efficacy theory psychoeducation program, the control group received routine care. Data were collected 2 times: pretest, 2 month after intervention (for experimental group) and 2 month after pretest (for control group).
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 study evaluates whether completing a short screening questionnaire about health behaviours in the waiting room before a primary care consultation decreases excessive substance use in young people aged 14 to 24 years. Young people consulting a primary care physician will randomly receive either a questionnaire about substance use or a questionnaire about physical activity. They will be contacted again 3, 6 and 12 months later and asked to complete a questionnaire about substance use. The proportion of young people with excessive substance use in each group will be compared. The researchers hypothesise that at three months this proportion will be lower in the group of young people having completed the initial questionnaire about substance use when compared to the group having completed the questionnaire about physical activity.
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.
In 2017, structured physical exercise with high intensity was implemented as a part of the treatment program at St. Olav Hospital Clinic of Substance Use and Addiction Medicine. The objective of this study is to examine whether implementing structured physical exercise in the treatment program has implications for patients' physical and mental health and quality of life after completing a 3 month residential treatment program. The results of this study will benefit substance use disorder patients in the future, and may have an impact on further implementation of physical exercise in addiction treatment clinics both nationally and internationally.
In Norway, official guidelines and policies state that recovery oriented services in the field of mental health and substance abuse services is a desirable goal. This collaborative research project aims to provide in-depth knowledge of how recovery oriented practices and collaboration in the mental health and substance abuse services in the municipality of New Drammen develop over a three-year period. Using qualitative methods, the main aim of the study is to explore what recovery orientation of services in mental health and substance abuse presupposes and involves related to roles, collaboration and knowledge. To explore these issues, service users will be interviewed together with their primary mental health professional. The study will also apply observational fieldwork in order to observe recovery oriented practices between service users and professionals and between professionals. An advisory group consisting of people with background as service users, mental health clinicians and service leaders will contribute throughout the project. .
Homeless youth have a much higher rate of substance use than non-homeless peers with evidence suggesting that homeless youth have the highest rates of opioid use among youth subgroups in the country (Brands et al., 2005); heroin using homeless youth also appear to have the highest rates of IV drug use and HIV (Rhoades et al., 2014). Given the high rates of opioid use, exposure to violence, mental and physical health challenges, and high rates of mortality in homeless youth, it is surprising that no study to date utilizes a randomized controlled design to test prevention of opioid and other drug use among this vulnerable population. Resolution of youth homelessness through housing and prevention services, often referred to as "Housing First", as proposed in the current study, has great potential to reduce the likelihood for the development of an opioid use disorder as well as other problem behaviors associated with living on the streets. However, only 20-30% of homeless youth samples report ever having stayed at a crisis shelter, 9% report having ever accessed mental health services, and 15% report ever having received substance use treatment (Ray, 2006) indicating a need to reach and engage youth in services that are feasible and acceptable. This study will provide essential information for researchers and providers on the efficacy of housing + opioid and related risk prevention services in an RCT on opioid use, how moderators affect the response, and mechanisms underlying change.
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.
