Early implementation of an electronic measurement-based care tool in substance use disorder treatment clinics.

Background: Measurement-based care (MBC), routinely measuring and reviewing treatment progress with a standardized tool, can inform clinical decision making and improve patient outcomes. Despite potential benefits, implementation of MBC in SUD treatment settings has been limited and little is known about its implementation in SUD settings. The goal of this convergent parallel mixed methods study was to understand staff experiences during early implementation of MBC in SUD treatment clinics.

Economic Evaluations of Non-Pharmacological Interventions for Treating Disorders of Gut-Brain Interaction: A Scoping Review.

Background And Objectives: Disorders of gut-brain interaction are highly prevalent and burdensome conditions for both patients and healthcare systems. Given the limited effectiveness of pharmacotherapy in treating disorders of gut-brain interaction, non-pharmacological interventions are increasingly used; however, the value for money of non-pharmacological treatments is uncertain. This is the first review to assess the economic evaluation evidence of non-pharmacological interventions for disorders of gut-brain interaction.

Patient experiences in outpatient substance use disorder treatment: A qualitative study exploring both clinical and non-clinical contexts.

Background: Addressing the persistent treatment gap in substance use disorder (SUD) remains a critical challenge, with only 13 % of Americans with SUDs receiving necessary treatment. We explored the complexities of engaging in SUD treatment from patients' perspectives and aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of their treatment experiences.

Methods: We conducted semi-structured interviews with 34 patients who had been attending outpatient SUD clinics in New York State for 6 or less months.
