Reward-based Technology to Improve Opioid Use Disorder Treatment Initiation After an ED Visit - Phase 2
Abstract
Millions of people in the US misuse opioids each year. 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 project will utilize a digital mobile platform, Opioid Addiction Recovery Support with contingency management (OARSCM), to increase MAT treatment initiation and adherence among OUD patients recruited from emergency departments and inpatient acute care.
Conditions: Opioid Use Disorder.
Primary outcome: Percent Outpatient Intake Scheduled - Phase 2 RCT; Percent Outpatient Intakes Completed - Phase 2 RCT.
Enrollment: 41 participants.
How strong is the evidence?
Evidence Hub reads this as a clinical trial, done in people. Its evidence level is 3 of 5 (Moderate · trial / cohort / secondary analysis). Trials without a large randomized design, cohorts and secondary analyses give moderate evidence. Reported size: 41 participants or records.
