Filter by:This study seeks to compare the effectiveness of two Patient Navigation models of care to evaluate the proportion who initiate PrEP/ART and substance use/substance use disorder (SU/SUD) treatment. A standardized Patient Navigation (PN) arm will be compared with a shared decision-making model in the form of Patient Choice (PC) through the offer of a menu of existing community-based health service delivery options. This design will offer providers, correctional and public health authorities, payers and policy makers' timely and relevant data to assess the effectiveness of Patient Navigation and Patient Choice models of care as potentially useful re-entry and relapse prevention treatment options.
This R34 will develop and test an adjunctive treatment protocol for addressing co-occurring internalizing disorders among adolescents enrolled in usual care for substance use problems. Internalizing disorders (ID), primarily depression and anxiety, are highly prevalent among youth receiving community-based treatment for substance use disorder (SUD). Comorbidity rates range from 30-70% due to the multiple developmental pathways by which adolescent SUD and ID cause and exacerbate one another. Moreover, unresolved ID issues significantly interfere with youth SUD treatment and recovery processes. Yet, the youth SUD clinical workforce is not systematically educated or trained in evidence-based practices for ID; thus, line services for youth SUD do not systematically target ID. The research literature offers a few integrated behavioral models for simultaneously treating both SUD and ID in youth; however, such models feature intensive manualized procedures that have proven cumbersome to scale and deliver in frontline settings. As a result, the clinical workforce, though desiring ID-focused training, currently has inadequate resources for treating ID effectively. A promising solution to diminish this quality gap is developing an adjunctive, modular protocol to augment routine care for comorbid SUD/ID by directly targeting ID as a key treatment goal: Family Support Protocol for Adolescent Internalizing Disorders (Fam-AID). As an adjunctive protocol, Fam-AID will not require clinicians to markedly alter existing base practices for SUD. It will be anchored by three evidence-based foundations for treating co-occurring adolescent ID. First, it prioritizes family engagement in services and family-oriented treatment goals, which have been shown to enhance outcomes for youth SUD and ID alike. Second, it is a modular protocol that features core elements of manualized treatment for ID; core element interventions enhance treatment effectiveness by fostering implementation feasibility and sustainability in usual care. Third, it seeks to reinforce the family safety net to prevent teen self-harm. In accord with these foundations, and pending pilot development, we anticipate that Fam-AID will contain five treatment modules that can be delivered in any sequence to meet client needs: (1) Family Engagement of caregivers and primary supports in treatment planning and services; (2) Relational Reframing of family constraints, resiliencies, and social capital connected to the youth's ID symptoms; (3) Functional Analysis of the youth's ID symptoms and related behaviors; (4) Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) core techniques to address the youth's ID symptoms and functional needs, featuring three transdiagnostic interventions (emotion acceptance, emotional exposure, behavioral activation) to address negative affect and emotional dysregulation underlying both depression and anxiety; and (5) Family Psychoeducation and Safety Planning focused on education about comorbid SUD/ID and prevention of youth self-harm. All interventions featured in each module have strong empirical support. The Fam-AID protocol will contain several innovations intended to boost treatment feasibility and impact for this vulnerable group. Aligned with the core elements strategy, it will be designed for uptake by all motivated clinicians regardless of their clinical orientation and training. It will use evidence-based family engagement techniques to systematically integrate caregivers in the treatment process; typically, families are not centralized in SUD services for youth despite compelling empirical and clinical rationale to do so. It will feature a treatment customization exercise in which clients and therapists collaboratively select CBT techniques to integrate in ongoing treatment based on functional ID assessment. To achieve study aims we will first develop a Fam-AID implementation toolkit during a three-part Pilot Phase at one pilot site: (a) Solicit provider input on Fam-AID components; (b) Create video-based training and fidelity procedures, leveraging the PI's existing online therapist training and consultation resources in core CBT techniques for adolescent SUD, as well as the Co-I's equivalent training resources for adolescent ID; (c) Pilot the toolkit with 4-6 clients. In Years 2-3 we will conduct an Interrupted Time Series Study for N = 60 SUD/ID cases across two sites serving diverse youth: 30 will receive TAU, and then following line staff training, 30 new cases will receive TAU enhanced by adjunctive Fam-AID. Aim 1: Feasibility will examine Fam-AID cases for acceptability via client and therapist interviews and fidelity benchmarks via therapist- and observer-report of module coverage and protocol dose. Aim 2: Outcomes will test TAU vs. TAU + Fam-AID for immediate impact on family member attendance and ultimate impacts on adolescent ID symptoms at 3- and 6-month follow-up.

The focus of this study is the impact of usage of a mobile application to support problem-solving therapy on symptoms of anxiety, depression and substance use.
This is an observational, prospective case-control study evaluating the effects of an emergency department community health worker-peer recovery specialist program (PCHW), the Substance Misuse Assistance Response Team (SMART). Aims of this study are to 1) understand participant experiences working with a SMART PCHW and identify possible mechanisms for successful recovery linkage; 2) Evaluate SMART effectiveness on patient-centered outcomes, building recovery capital, and recovery linkage; 3) Evaluate SMART implementation and effectiveness on patient outcomes over time. Using a combination of surveys and data linkages to state administrative databases, study investigators will prospectively compare changes in addiction treatment engagement, recovery capital, health related social needs, acute care utilization, and death between people receiving a ED PCHW and those who do not. After consenting to study participation, participants will complete surveys at time of study enrollment and 3 and 6 months after their initial ED visit. Primary outcomes include engagement in addiction treatment, social services engagement, acute care utilization, and mortality will be assessed through linkages to state administrative databases.
Pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) is effective in preventing HIV infection among people who inject drugs (PWID) yet studies suggest that its use is low among this population which is particularly vulnerable to HIV infection. The criminal justice (CJ) system, at the intersection of increased risk of HIV infection and substance use, presents a unique opportunity to engage PWID in HIV prevention care that incudes PrEP. The study will characterize the facilitators and barriers to PrEP initiation, adherence and linkage to care among male PWID that are experiencing incarceration and develop the "PrEPare-for-Release" intervention to promote PrEP initiation, adherence and linkage to care upon release from incarceration into the community.
Aim of the study: In this study, the change in emotional intelligence will be assessed before and after group CBT sessions in male patients with substance use disorder in the inpatient department of the addiction unit at Mansoura University Hospital.
The clinical trial aims to conduct a feasibility, acceptability, and usability clinical trial of a modular CBT-based and technologically enhanced intervention for people with an SUD and recently enrolled in IOP, probe target engagement and change in clinical outcomes, and examine attrition rates in IOP. This study will enroll 40 adults who are currently enrolled in IOP, have a substance use disorder, and experience elevated anxiety. 20 individuals will be randomized to the experimental intervention, "Intervention for Managing Physical Reactions to Overwhelming Emotions" (IMPROVE), and 20 individuals will be randomized to the active control group, "Physical Health Education Treatment" (PHET). Participants will be asked to complete a baseline assessment of mood, substance use, and psychophysiology. Participants will then completed ecological momentary assessments (EMA) via smartphone technology 4 times a day for ~ 28 days (the day following the baseline assessment until the 3rd intervention session). Participants will complete one 45 minute - 1 hour intervention each week for 3 weeks (either the IMPROVE or PHET intervention, pending randomization). Following the last intervention session, participants will return to the lab to complete a post-intervention assessment that mirrors the baseline assessment and then complete follow-up surveys 1- and 3-months post intervention.
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if receiving Prolonged Exposure Therapy for PTSD in massed format (multiple sessions weekly) is as effective as receiving it with sessions once per week among veterans with PTSD and substance use disorder in intensive outpatient substance use treatment. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Will the massed format help participants complete and benefit from Prolonged Exposure in terms of PTSD symptoms? - Will it help participants reduce substance use? Participants who are in intensive substance use treatment will be asked to complete Prolonged Exposure with either weekly sessions or multiple sessions per week.
