Background: Substance use disorders (SUDs) result in individual and societal burden. However, most individuals with SUD receive no treatment. Implementing SUD interventions in primary care could address this population's treatment needs.

Background: Antipsychotic medications (AP) are inappropriately prescribed to young people. The goal of this pragmatic trial was to test a four-component approach to improved targeting of antipsychotic prescribing to people aged ≥3 and <18 years.

Methods: Clinicians in four health systems were cluster randomized by the number of previous AP orders and service line - specialty mental health and all others.

Background: Delivering prescription digital therapeutics (ie, evidence-based interventions designed to treat, manage, or prevent disorders via websites or smartphone apps) in primary care could increase patient access to substance use disorder (SUD) treatments. However, the optimal approach to implementing prescription digital therapeutics in primary care remains unknown.

Objective: This pilot study is a precursor to a larger trial designed to test whether implementation strategies (practice facilitation [PF] and health coaching [HC]) improve the delivery of prescription digital therapeutics for SUDs in primary care.

Article Synopsis
  • Patients with opioid use disorder (OUD) often utilize emergency services and hospitals more, and the PROUD trial aimed to see if office-based addiction treatment (OBAT) could help reduce this.
  • The trial involved 12 clinics and focused on OUD patients, comparing outcomes between those receiving OBAT and usual care over two years after treatment began.
  • Results showed that, despite increased treatment days for intervention patients, there was no significant difference in emergency or hospital utilization between the OBAT and usual care groups for both pre- and post-randomization patients.

Importance: Few primary care (PC) practices treat patients with medications for opioid use disorder (OUD) despite availability of effective treatments.

Objective: To assess whether implementation of the Massachusetts model of nurse care management for OUD in PC increases OUD treatment with buprenorphine or extended-release injectable naltrexone and secondarily decreases acute care utilization.

Design, Setting, And Participants: The Primary Care Opioid Use Disorders Treatment (PROUD) trial was a mixed-methods, implementation-effectiveness cluster randomized clinical trial conducted in 6 diverse health systems across 5 US states (New York, Florida, Michigan, Texas, and Washington).

Article Synopsis
  • The study focused on comparing patients from participating and non-participating clinics in the PROUD trial, which focuses on opioid use disorder treatment in real-world settings.
  • Researchers analyzed data from electronic health records of patients aged 16-90 in health systems that included both trial and non-trial clinics, summarizing their characteristics and outcomes.
  • The results showed that while there were minor demographic differences between patients in trial and non-trial clinics, overall patient outcomes related to opioid use disorder treatment were similar across both types of clinics.

Background: Fifty percent of people living with dementia are undiagnosed. The electronic health record (EHR) Risk of Alzheimer's and Dementia Assessment Rule (eRADAR) was developed to identify older adults at risk of having undiagnosed dementia using routinely collected clinical data.

Objective: To externally validate eRADAR in two real-world healthcare systems, including examining performance over time and by race/ethnicity.

Objective: The authors sought to characterize the 3-year prevalence of mental disorders and nonnicotine substance use disorders among male and female primary care patients with documented opioid use disorder across large U.S. health systems.
