Filter by:The goal of this clinical trial is to document the efficacy of using a habit change application (app) as an adjunct to standard psychotherapy among individuals with diabetes receiving mental health treatment for depression, anxiety, or substance use disorders. The main questions it aims to answer are: Question 1: When behavioral health treatment is augmented with a habit change app for between visit care, does the use of this tool improve mental and behavioral health outcomes? Question 2: Are there certain populations who benefit more from using a habit change app? Question 3: Does use of a habit change app impact healthcare utilization and costs? Exploratory Research Question: Does use of a habit change app impact physical health outcomes, including A1c levels, blood pressure, and weight? Participants selected to receive the habit change app will be asked to track goals that they set for themselves in adjunct to their current behavioral health treatment; those selected for treatment as usual will have no additional steps to take. Researchers will compare the groups to see if there are different outcomes in symptom reports and healthcare utilization.
This study will be a prospective randomized controlled trial (RCT) of Mindfulness-based Therapeutic Sailing (MBTS) versus a standard recreation therapy activity (bowling) among Veterans with psychiatric and/or substance use disorders. The specific aims of this investigation are to determine whether: 1. MBTS will result in greater pre- to post-intervention increases in psychological flexibility and state mindfulness than a standard recreation therapy activity (SRT). 2. MBTS participants will experience greater enjoyment of the activity than SRT participants. 3. MBTS will result in greater pre- to post-intervention increases in positive affect and decreases in anxiety as measured as compared to the SRT participants. 4. MBTS participants will exhibit improved outcomes, as compared to the SRT group, in the 3-month post-intervention period.
Benzodiazepines and benzodiazepine-like hypnotics (z-drugs) are prevalent and addictive narcotics. Guidelines recommend restricted prescription of these drugs for anxiety and insomnia. The majority of benzodiazepine prescriptions are written for these disorders by physicians (GPs) in primary health care. Primary health care is thus an important arena for efforts to reduce access to benzodiazepines in order to lower the number of new users and users at risk of dependency. This trial evaluates whether a brief educational intervention in primary health care followed by 12 months of feedback on prescription data changes the prescription of benzodiazepines and benzodiazepine-like hypnotics.
This study will examine the impact of using a multicomponent intervention (patient reported outcomes, training, and telemedicine) to assist with the management of Mental Health (MH) and Substance Use Disorders (SUD) among people living with HIV (PLWH) engaged in care at UAB HIV Clinic, University of Alabama Family Clinic (Birmingham, AL), Thrive Federally Qualified Health Services Center (Huntsville), Health Services Center (Anniston), and Medical Advocacy and Outreach (Montgomery). The study will employ a hybrid type 2 implementation design. Because this intervention will be employed as the new standard of care at participating sites, all PLWH receiving care at the sites will receive this intervention. Patient-reported outcomes (PROs) will be integrated into routine care to screen PLWH for substance use and mental health disorders during routine clinical encounters. Training will be delivered to frontline clinicians so that they receive targeted knowledge on best practices for treatment of MH and SUD along with clinic-specific protocols for response to PROs on MH and SUD including treatment and referrals. Telemedicine services for MH and SUD will be offered to patients in need of expanded access to services due to a lack of clinic-level resources or additional barriers to traditional clinic visits such transportation, stigma, or substance using behaviors.
Family Talk, an evidence-based parent-youth dyadic intervention, is a promising approach to improving substance use outcomes for high-risk families, and its structure lends itself to delivery by existing personnel within an Office-Based Addiction Treatment (OBAT) model of care. The investigators propose a single-arm pilot study with 25 parent-youth dyads through which a rapid cycle performance improvement approach will be employed to adapt and optimize the content and delivery of the embedded Family Talk prevention strategy. The investigators will field-test relevant baseline and outcome measures and will use qualitative methodology to identify key modifications to the intervention and generate hypotheses for how the prevention strategy may impact youth and family outcomes and prevent youth substance use. Information from this study will inform a subsequent pilot randomized controlled trial of the intervention to prevent substance use for youth whose parents are in recovery from SUD (substance use disorder).
The study is exploring the ease and ability to integrate a mobile application in outpatient behavioral health treatment. There are two major aims to the study: 1) Determine feasibility and acceptability of integrating a mobile app into behavioral health treatment for adolescents with co-occurring substance use and mental health disorders, and 2) identify initial signal of effect on engagement and/or treatment outcomes among youth who use the mobile app.
This is an open-label, single center study of The Bridge in patients with sustained remission of opiate dependence on established, low-dose MAT with buprenorphine. A fixed number of patients will be admitted to the study.
The purpose of this study is to determine efficacy and effect of CVS (caloric vestibular stimulation)
The study tests a structured referral process for opioid overdose survivors, from pre-hospital emergency care to long-term treatment of the individual's substance use-related disorder.
This study evaluates the effectiveness of integrating empirically-supported treatments for an opioid use disorder into a primary care setting. These treatments will include ASAM Criteria multidimensional assessment, cognitive behavioral therapy and relapse prevention with contingency management, medication-assisted treatment, and recovery support services. Half of participants will be assigned to opioid use disorder treatment in a federally qualified health center, and half will receive treatment at a publicly-funded intensive outpatient addiction treatment program which has the ability to offer medication-assisted treatment.
