Background: This pilot study aimed to provide supportive evidence for the feasibility of conducting a full-scale intervention trial with patients newly diagnosed with head and neck cancer (HNC). This included assessing the acceptability and potential usefulness of the PTSD Coach mobile app as an early self-management intervention that gives information about anxiety symptoms, offers self-assessment of symptoms with feedback, tools to self-manage anxiety, and connects to support.
Methods: A three-arm randomized controlled trial was conducted.
A conceptual framework for assessing implementation strategy integrity.

Article Synopsis
- The article discusses the challenges of implementing evidence-based innovations (EBIs) effectively, highlighting the mixed outcomes in previous implementation efforts.
- Researchers have developed the Implementation Strategy Integrity Framework (ISIF) to clarify how the deployment of implementation strategies (IS) affects the success of EBIs.
- The findings reveal four key areas to evaluate IS integrity: the rigor of implementation strategies, user responsiveness, mechanism activation, and the influence of inner and outer contextual factors on EBI outcomes.
Aims: To understand how the US public defines recovery from opioid misuse and the recovery-related resources it views as most helpful, and to compare differences by opioid misuse history and demographic characteristics.
Design: Observational study of data from the nationally representative AmeriSpeak® Panel survey administered in October/November 2021.
Setting: United States.
Importance: In 2023, more than 80 000 individuals died from an overdose involving opioids. With almost two-thirds of the US jail population experiencing a substance use disorder, jails present a key opportunity for providing lifesaving treatments, such as medications for opioid use disorder (MOUD).
Objectives: To examine the prevalence of MOUD in US jails and the association of jail- and county-level factors with MOUD prevalence using a national sample.
Background: The ongoing and evolving overdose epidemic highlights the need to translate research results into routine clinical practice to address urgent service delivery needs. Implementation science is a relatively new discipline intended to develop systematic, replicable, scalable strategies to accelerate this translation. This article presents a comprehensive review of implementation research funded by the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA).
