Filter by:The proposed study is a clinical trial, designed to pilot test a Distress Tolerance-Benzodiazepine Discontinuation (DT-BD) intervention for patients on opioid agonist therapy (OAT) who currently use benzodiazepines versus a Relaxation Therapy (RT) control condition. The DT-BD intervention is an adjunctive psychosocial intervention in people seeking to discontinue (BZD) use.
The Investigators aim to study the outcomes of serious infections due to vancomycin susceptible infections in gram-positive organisms susceptible to vancomycin in people who use drugs (PWUD). The Investigators hypothesize, that a simplified 2-dose dalbavancin regimen, will improve compliance with antimicrobial therapy and that it may facilitate engagement in the treatment of the underlying substance use disorder, and particularly injection drug use - often the true etiology behind these severe infections.
The purpose of this study is to examine various behavioral, social, and emotional changes that result from engaging in an OBH and CBT treatment program designed for adolescents.
This is a pilot study to evaluate the acceptability and feasibility of incorporating a patient-facing reproductive decision support tool, MyPath, into existing clinical pathways in a SUD treatment program. This study will be conducted virtually in partnership with a single substance use treatment program within the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center (UPMC). Aim 1: Assess the feasibility and acceptability of incorporating a patient-facing reproductive decision support tool (MyPath) into existing clinical pathways in a substance use treatment program. Aim 2: Assess preliminary efficacy of MyPath on reproductive health knowledge, self-efficacy, and decisional conflict as compared to usual care, as well comparisons between receipt of reproductive health services during the usual care period versus after implementing the intervention. The investigators hypothesize that the MyPath tool is acceptable and feasible for participants and their providers within a SUD treatment program. They also anticipate that preliminary efficacy data will show a positive correlation between the MyPath intervention and receipt of reproductive services, as well as increased knowledge and self-efficacy with decreased decision conflict. This pilot study will lay the groundwork for future larger trials in order to measure efficacy of this tool in substance use treatment settings.
This is a randomized controlled trial (RCT) evaluating the effectiveness of an alcohol brief intervention alone compared to the brief intervention plus an evidence-based psychotherapy (CETA) in reducing alcohol misuse and co-occurring mental health problems among persons with HIV in Zambia.
The purpose of this study is to test if a parenting program can be used to prevent substance use among Latino youth and at the same time promote healthy eating. Pairs of 7th grade students and one of their parents will be enrolled in the study and randomly assigned to three groups: an existing parenting intervention focusing on substance use prevention (FPNG), the enhanced parenting intervention that also has nutrition content (FPNG+), and a comparison program focused on academic success. Only parents will attend intervention sessions. Data will be collected from the parent and their 7th grade student to see how these programs impacted substance use, nutrition, and parenting. The investigators hypothesize that families receiving the FPNG+ will have improved nutrition habits than the other conditions. Students in both FPNG and FPNG+ will have lower substance use rates as compared to the academic success program. In addition, the effects of parenting strategies and sociocultural factors on the FPNG and FPNG+ results will be studied.
Women who take opioid substitution therapy have higher rates of unintended pregnancy, more pregnancies, and a higher risk of pregnancy complications than the general population. Current practice is to test for pregnancy only at patient request or if the clinician suspects pregnancy. This study will compare monthly pregnancy testing to current practice in a double blind randomized control trial. As many women of childbearing age as possible will be recruited from the Hamilton Clinic for Opioid Substitutional Therapy. Women assigned to the intervention will have monthly testing at the same time as their monthly urine drug testing at the clinic. The primary objective is to assess if there is a significant difference is early pregnancy detection and the secondary objectives are to assess differences in pregnancy disposition and gestational age at entry to prenatal or abortion care.
Drum-Assisted Recovery Therapy for Native Americans (DARTNA) is an R-21 NIH/NCCAM-funded study aimed to complete the development and pilot a new substance abuse treatment protocol utilizing drumming for American Indians/Alaska Natives with substance use disorders. The study includes activities to complete the protocol, followed by a randomized-controlled clinical trial.
