Opioid-use Disorder
Conditions
Brief summary
The Subthreshold Opioid Use Disorder Prevention (STOP) trial will test the efficacy of a primary care intervention to reduce opioid use and overdose risk, and prevent progression to OUD, in adults with unhealthy use of illicit or prescribed opioids. STOP is a collaborative care model. A cluster-randomized trial, conducted in 5 primary care sites, with 100 PCPs and 300adult primary care patients, will test the efficacy of STOP versus enhanced usual care (EUC). The STOP intervention, if proven efficacious, will provide a solution to preventing OUD among patients who are most at risk, thus addressing a key aspect of the current opioid crisis.
Detailed description
This cluster randomized trial, conducted in primary care clinics and randomized at the level of the PCP, will compare the STOP intervention to enhanced usual care (EUC) for 12 months. Patients who are eligible and enroll will receive the intervention according to the assignment of their PCP. In the EUC arm, PCPs conduct primary care as usual, without support of the nurse care manager. Patient participants receive an educational pamphlet about overdose prevention and watch a brief video on healthy living that is not specific to substance use. In the STOP arm, PCPs and their enrolled patient participants receive the STOP intervention, consisting of a NCM, brief advice about health risks of opioid misuse, and telephone health coaching. Patient participants in either arm who are found by clinical providers to have developed a moderate-severe OUD at any time during the study can be offered medication for OUD and linked to treatment by clinical staff in the EUC arm, and the NCM in the STOP arm, to formal assessment and MOUD treatment.
Interventions
Brief advice will be delivered by the patient participant's PCP as part of the medical visit or via phone call. Before the encounter with the patient participant, PCPs will receive a brief printed summary report from the research staff. The summary advises the PCP that their patient participant screened positive for risky opioid use, lists the patient participant's screening results (TAPS Tool +/- COMM) and gives a suggested counseling script. The counseling script will include specific advice on opioid-related risks, will inform patient participants of resources to help them reduce their risk, and will include a recommendation to reduce their risk behavior.
During the baseline visit with the research staff, patient participants will view a video on tablet or desktop computer that reinforces the PCP's counseling. The video is a recording of a provider delivering brief advice about opioid use that includes the same elements covered in the summary report outlined above.
All patient participants in the STOP arm will receive telephonic health coaching sessions at approximately 2- and 4-weeks post-baseline. Patient participants who may benefit from additional coaching (for example, those who do not improve or who experience clinical worsening of unhealthy opioid use) may receive additional coaching sessions (approximately 4 sessions) from the telephone health coach. Coaching is delivered from a centralized call center, by staff that receive standardized training and supervision. To the extent possible, calls will be scheduled at the patient participant's convenience (e.g., evenings, weekends).
NCMs will provide health education and counseling on risk reduction, overdose prevention and self-management skills. Patient participants will be asked to participate in a baseline visit with the NCM, which will occur on the same day as the baseline research visit if possible. The NCM continues working with patients in the STOP condition throughout their 12 months of study participation. Following the initial visit with the NCM, the frequency of visits depends on patient participant needs.

Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Days of Risky Opioid Use in Past 180 Days | Up to Month 6 | Self-reported number of days of risky (illicit or nonmedical) opioid use in the past 180 days, assessed at 6 months after the baseline visit using single items from the Addiction Severity Index.

Prescribed opioids may be prescribed by the participating PCP or by another medical provider. The measure is calculated as the sum of all days of use reported on the assessments of past 30-day drug use for the first 6 months (i.e., the sum of days of use from the measures collected on days 30, 60 90, 120, 150 and 180). |

Outcome results
Days of Risky Opioid Use in Past 180 Days
Self-reported number of days of risky (illicit or nonmedical) opioid use in the past 180 days, assessed at 6 months after the baseline visit using single items from the Addiction Severity Index. Illicit opioid use includes use of heroin or synthetic opioids. Nonmedical opioid use includes using prescribed opioids more frequently or at higher doses than instructed on the prescription (e.g., taking 2 tablets when the prescription indicates a dose of 1 tablet), or taking pharmaceutical opioids that were not prescribed to them. Prescribed opioids may be prescribed by the participating PCP or by another medical provider. The measure is calculated as the sum of all days of use reported on the assessments of past 30-day drug use for the first 6 months (i.e., the sum of days of use from the measures collected on days 30, 60 90, 120, 150 and 180).
