The Anchor Study: Digitally Delivered Intervention for Reducing Problematic Substance Use
Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD)Substance Use DisordersThis study aims to validate W-SUDs as a digitally-delivered substance use disorder program through a fully-powered randomized control trial that will test the comparative efficacy of the mobile-app based substance use disorder program (W-SUDs) to reduce substance use relative to a psychoeducation control condition, which has no cognitive behavioral therapy and the content is not delivered through a conversational user interface.
Pilot: Digital Therapeutic vs Education for the Management of Problematic Substance Use
Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD)Substance Use DisordersPrior to launching a randomized controlled trial, this pilot study will investigate the feasibility and acceptability of the administration of a diagnostic interview and collection of a biomarker test, as well as engagement and preliminary efficacy with W-SUDs and the education arm, among a sample of adults who screen positive for problematic substance use.
Study to Assess Repeated Doses of INDV-2000 in Healthy Volunteers and in Treatment Seeking Individuals...
Healthy VolunteerOpioid-use DisorderThe primary objectives for the study are: Part I and Part II: Assess safety and tolerability of repeated doses of INDV-2000 in healthy volunteers. Part III: Assess the safety and tolerability of repeated doses of INDV-2000 administered alone and with SUBOXONE sublingual (SL) film in an opioid use disorder (OUD) treatment seeking population.
Mindfulness Mobile App to Reduce Adolescent Substance Use
Adolescent DrinkingAdolescent Problem BehaviorSubstance-abusing youth - especially those who are involved in the juvenile justice system - are at higher risk than nonusers for mental health problems, including depression, conduct problems, personality disorders, suicidal thoughts, attempted suicide, and completed suicide. The proposed Phase II project aims to develop and test the efficacy of a mobile app, called Rewire, that is geared toward helping high risk adolescent substance users reduce or quit their substance use. The Rewire app is based on the primary substance use cessation components tested in our previous work with juvenile justice-involved adolescents and on intervention components shown to be central to smoking cessation; it applies a mindfulness approach as the guiding framework for the intervention.
An Online Intervention Addressing Mental Health and Substance Use in University Students
AnxietyDepression2 moreThe purpose of this study is to assess the effectiveness of mobile app containing a range of evidence based tools to improve the mental health and substance use outcomes of university students.
Integrated Cognitive Behavioral Treatment for Substance Use and Depressive Symptoms: a Homeless...
Cognitive Behavioral TherapyThis case series and feasibility trial evaluated a novel integrated cognitive behavioral treatment, which was adapted specifically for homeless individuals and developed to treat substance use and depressive symptoms simultaneously. The integrated cognitive behavioral treatment was delivered among four homeless individuals enrolled in the Treatment First program (a social services program where treatment is offered in conjunction with temporary transitional housing), who had access to stable and sober housing milieus.
Gamified Adaptive Approach Bias Modification on Individuals With Methamphetamine Use History
AddictionSubstanceA randomized controlled trial will be conducted to investigate whether a proposed algorithm that adjusts the congruency ratio based on the user's performance and difficulty can enhance the effectiveness of approach bias modification. Methamphetamine users will be recruited and randomized into an algorithm group, a standard group, and a control group.
Brief Virtual Mindfulness-based Group Intervention With Social Support for Perinatal Individuals...
Substance UsePregnancy Related1 moreThis is a feasibility and acceptability study for 4- week virtual mindfulness-based intervention with social support for perinatal individuals at higher risk for substance use. This study builds on the longitudinal collection of questionnaire data from pregnant and postpartum people during the COVID-19 pandemic. Each closed virtual support group will meet weekly for 4 weeks using a video conference platform. Groups will be focused on grounding, thinking patterns, self-compassion and self-care. This approach will foster increase awareness of wellbeing as well as social support between group participants. Primary outcomes include the feasibility and acceptability of this group-based intervention for perinatal individuals.
The Longitudinal Impact of SES and the CNDS on Recovery From SUD
Substance Use DisordersThe goal of this study is to provide a scientific understanding of the impact of socioeconomic status (SES) on the recovery trajectory (psychosocial functioning, relapse/remission status, and neurocognitive mechanisms).
Usability Testing for the Reward-based Technology to Improve OUD Treatment
Opioid-use DisorderContingency Management1 moreMillions of people in the US misuse opioids each year, leading to thousands of deaths and costing billions of dollars in total economic burden. 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 STTR Fast Track proposal is designed to increase rates of Suboxone (buprenorphine/naloxone) treatment initiation and adherence among OUD patients recruited from emergency and inpatient acute care. To accomplish these aims, the project will enhance the Opioid Addiction Recovery Support (OARS), an existing Q2i company technology, with a new evidence-based reward, contingency management (CM) function. CM interventions systematically reward (reinforce) specific behaviors like treatment initiation and adherence with therapy attendance and drug-free urine tests and are highly efficacious. An OARS solution enhanced with a CM component (OARSCM) that allows for the automatic calculation, delivery, and redemption of rewards contingent on objective evidence of treatment behaviors may be key to improving Suboxone initiation and adherence. In Phase 1 of this proposal, the existing OARS clinician portal and patient mobile application will be modified to accommodate entry into the software system from an acute care setting and to automatically manage and deliver rewards to create OARSCM using patient-centered design principles. Focus groups with OUD patients and other key stakeholders will inform design. Primary usability outcomes will be examined, and the program iteratively updated. After meeting milestones, there was a proof-of-concept pilot of usability, acceptability, and effects on initial behavior targets with approximately 20 patients and at least 4 providers.
