A COMPARATIVE EFFECTIVENESS TRIAL OF SUBLINGUAL VERSUS EXTENDED-RELEASE BUPRENORPHINE WITH INDIVIDUALS LEAVING A CARCERAL SETTING - ABSTRACT ALTHOUGH PREVIOUS RESEARCH HAS DEMONSTRATED THE EFFECTIVENESS OF INITIATING MEDICATIONS FOR OPIOID USE DISORDER (MOUDS) DURING INCARCERATION, THERE HAS BEEN VERY LITTLE ADOPTION NATIONWIDE OF THIS PRACTICE. EXTENDED-RELEASE BUPRENORPHINE (XR-B) IS A PROMISING INTERVENTION FOR THE TREATMENT OF OUDS IN CARCERAL SETTINGS. INDIVIDUALS WITH OUDS RE-ENTERING THE COMMUNITY ARE AT AN ELEVATED RISK FOR OVERDOSE AND DEATH FROM RELAPSE TO OPIOID USE AMONG OTHER OPIOID-RELATED HARMS. THIS PROPOSAL BUILDS ON THE CURRENT INVESTIGATORS EXPERIENCE CONDUCTING CLINICAL TRIALS USING BOTH XR-B AND SUBLINGUAL-BUPRENORPHINE-NALOXONE (SL-B) WITH INDIVIDUALS IN JAIL AND PRISON. THIS PROPOSED STUDY IS A RANDOMIZED CONTROLLED TRIAL OF XR-B VS. SL-B IN A LARGE METROPOLITAN JAIL. AN OPEN-LABEL DESIGN WILL RANDOMLY ASSIGN 240 ADULTS WITH MODERATE-TO-SEVERE OUDS WHO ARE SOON-TO-BE-RELEASED FROM JAIL TO EITHER XR-B (N = 120) OR SL-B (N = 120) TREATMENT IN JAIL FOLLOWED BY 6-MONTHS OF POST-RELEASE BUPRENORPHINE TREATMENT, A 7-MONTH SAFETY VISIT, AND FINAL LONG-TERM FOLLOW-UP AT 12-MONTHS. THE STUDY HAS THREE AIMS: AIM 1. COMPARE THE EFFECTIVENESS OF XR-B VS. SL-B IN TERMS OF: PRIMARY OUTCOME. (A) ILLICIT OPIOID USE (I. URINE TOXICOLOGY; II. SELF-REPORTED DAYS OF OPIOID USE USING TIMELINE FOLLOWBACK; AND III. TIME TO OPIOID RELAPSE). SECONDARY OUTCOMES. (B) RETENTION IN BUPRENORPHINE TREATMENT (I. DAYS RECEIVING BUPRENORPHINE AND II. TIME TO TREATMENT DROPOUT); (C) OTHER ILLICIT SUBSTANCE USE (I. URINE TOXICOLOGY; II. SELF-REPORTED DAYS OF ILLICIT SUBSTANCE USE USING TIMELINE FOLLOWBACK; (D) OVERDOSE EVENTS (NON-FATAL AND FATAL); (E) QUALITY OF LIFE (I. PHYSICAL HEALTH; II. MENTAL HEALTH); (F) HIV RISK BEHAVIORS (I. SEXUAL RISK BEHAVIOR; II. NEEDLE USE OR SHARING); AND (G) CRIMINAL ACTIVITY (I. CRIME DAYS; II. RE-ARREST; III. TECHNICAL VIOLATIONS; IV. RE-INCARCERATION). AIM 2. TO CALCULATE THE COST TO THE STATE AND/OR JAIL/CITY HEALTH SYSTEM OF IMPLEMENTING XR-B AND SL-B, AND DETERMINE THE RELATIVE VALUE, INCLUDING THE COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH THE INTERVENTIONS IN THE COMMUNITY, FROM A COUNTY AND STATE-POLICYMAKER AND SOCIETAL PERSPECTIVE. AIM 3. EXPLORE BARRIERS AND FACILITATORS TO XR-B/SL-B IMPLEMENTATION IN JAIL: (1) DOSE INDUCTION; (2) DIVERSION AND PROCEDURES FOR REDUCING DIVERSION; (3) CONTINUITY OF CARE AFTER RELEASE OR TRANSFER TO ANOTHER FACILITY; (4) STAFFING (BOTH CUSTODY AND MEDICAL) NEEDS FOR DAILY VERSUS XR-B BUPRENORPHINE DOSING; AND (5) PATIENT PREFERENCE FOR XR-B VERSUS SL-B. THE PROPOSED STUDY WOULD BE INNOVATIVE BECAUSE IT WOULD BE THE FIRST LARGE SCALE RCT IN THE US ASSESSING EFFECTIVENESS AND COST EFFECTIVENESS OF XR-B VERSUS SL-B WITH INDIVIDUALS IN A JAIL WHO ARE RE-ENTERING COMMUNITY. UNDERSTANDING HOW TO EXPAND ACCEPTANCE OF BUPRENORPHINE IN JAILS, HAS FAR-REACHING IMPLICATIONS FOR EXPANDING TREATMENT ACCESS IN JAIL.

LONG-ACTING NALTREXONE FOR PRE-RELEASE PRISONERS: A RANDOMIZED TRIAL OF MOBILE TREATMENT

TREATING POLYSUBSTANCE USE IN METHADONE MAINTENANCE: APPLICATION OF NOVEL DIGITAL TECHNOLOGY - ABSTRACT METHADONE IS A HIGHLY EFFECTIVE TREATMENT FOR OPIOID USE DISORDER (OUD), BUT MANY PATIENTS LEAVE TREATMENT PREMATURELY, PLACING THEM AT HIGH RISK OF RELAPSE AND OVERDOSE. EXTENSIVE RESEARCH SHOWS THAT COMORBID COCAINE USE IS ASSOCIATED WITH POOR RETENTION IN METHADONE TREATMENT. THE PROPOSED STUDY WILL EXAMINE A NOVEL INTERVENTION DESIGNED TO IMPROVE METHADONE TREATMENT RETENTION AND OTHER OUTCOMES AMONG PEOPLE WITH OPIOID AND COCAINE POLYSUBSTANCE USE. THE DESIGN IS A 2-ARM RANDOMIZED CONTROLLED TRIAL CONDUCTED OVER A ONE- YEAR PERIOD FOLLOWING METHADONE TREATMENT ENTRY. RETENTION (PRIMARY) AND DRUG USE (SECONDARY) OUTCOMES FOR METHADONE TREATMENT AS USUAL (TAU, N=120) WILL BE COMPARED WITH THE ADDITION OF THE DYNAMICARE HEALTH CONTINGENCY MANAGEMENT APP (TAU+DCM, N=120). DCM IS A PERSONAL DIGITAL THERAPY TOOL PROVIDED AS AN APP ON THE PATIENT’S SMART PHONE. ITS CENTRAL FEATURE IS THE DELIVERY OF EVIDENCE-BASED CONTINGENCY MANAGEMENT THERAPY IN A CONVENIENT, REMOTE, AND FULLY AUTOMATED FASHION THAT ENSURES VALIDITY OF TARGET BEHAVIORS AND IMMEDIACY OF REWARD DELIVERY. TWO TARGET BEHAVIORS RELEVANT TO RETENTION WILL BE THE PRIMARY FOCUS OF THE DCM PROGRAM: 1) ABSTINENCE FROM OPIATES AND COCAINE AS VERIFIED VIA REMOTE ORAL FLUID TESTING, AND 2) MEDICATION PICKUP FROM THE METHADONE PROGRAM AS VERIFIED BY CLINIC RECORDS. PARTICIPANTS IN THE TAU+DCM ARM WILL RECEIVE FINANCIAL REWARDS FOR ACHIEVING THESE PRE-DETERMINED BEHAVIORAL TARGETS OVER A 48-WEEK INTERVENTION PERIOD. COMPREHENSIVE ASSESSMENT OF ALL PARTICIPANTS WILL BE CONDUCTED AT BASELINE, 3-, 6- AND 12-MONTHS. AIM 1: TO DETERMINE THE RELATIVE EFFECTIVENESS OF TAU+DCM COMPARED TO TAU ALONE IN IMPROVING METHADONE TREATMENT RETENTION THROUGH 12-MONTHS POST TREATMENT ENTRY. AIM 2: TO DETERMINE THE RELATIVE EFFECTIVENESS OF TAU+DCM COMPARED TO TAU ALONE IN TERMS OF [AIM 2A] REDUCING OPIOID USE AND COCAINE USE; AND [AIM 2B] IMPROVING OTHER SECONDARY OUTCOMES INCLUDING NON-TARGETED SUBSTANCE USE AND QUALITY OF LIFE THROUGH 12- MONTHS POST TREATMENT ENTRY. AIM 3: TO EXPLORE APP USE PATTERNS, ACCEPTABILITY, AND PERCEIVED VALUE OF THE PERSONALIZED TREATMENT INTERVENTION THROUGH 12-MONTHS POST TREATMENT ENTRY. INNOVATION LIES IN THE PLATFORM AND STRUCTURE OF CM DELIVERY THAT ENSURES TREATMENT FIDELITY WITH AUTOMATION OF REMOTE BEHAVIORAL MONITORING AND REWARD DELIVERY WITHOUT INVOLVEMENT OF CLINICAL STAFF. THIS PROJECT REPRESENTS A NOVEL APPLICATION OF DIGITAL THERAPEUTICS TO ENHANCE THE EFFECTIVENESS OF OUD TREATMENT WITH POLYSUBSTANCE USE. FINDINGS FROM THIS PROJECT CAN IMPROVE THE PUBLIC HEALTH IMPACT OF METHADONE TREATMENT BY IDENTIFYING AN EFFECTIVE AND SCALABLE APPROACH TO ADDRESS POLYSUBSTANCE USE AMONG PATIENTS AT HEIGHTENED RISK OF TREATMENT DROPOUT.

IDENTIFYING SUSPECTED DRUG OVERDOSE DEATHS IN NEAR REAL-TIME USING DATA COLLECTED BY DEATH INVESTIGATORS - THIS STUDY IS PART OF THE NIH’S HELPING TO END ADDICTION LONG-TERM (HEAL) INITIATIVE TO SPEED SCIENTIFIC SOLUTIONS TO THE NATIONAL OPIOID PUBLIC HEALTH CRISIS. THE NIH HEAL INITIATIVE BOLSTERS RESEARCH ACROSS NIH TO IMPROVE TREATMENT FOR OPIOID MISUSE AND ADDICTION. DRUG OVERDOSE DEATH RATES HAVE REACHED A RECORD HIGH. EFFECTIVE RESPONSES TO THE OVERDOSE EPIDEMIC REQUIRE ACCURATE AND TIMELY DRUG OVERDOSE SURVEILLANCE DATA. DEATH CERTIFICATES ARE THE FOUNDATION OF OVERDOSE MORTALITY SURVEILLANCE; HOWEVER, LONG TURNAROUND TIMES FOR ISSUING FINALIZED DEATH CERTIFICATES IN SUSPECTED DRUG-RELATED DEATHS HINDERS SURVEILLANCE ACTIVITIES AND PREVENTS RAPID RESPONSES BY PUBLIC HEALTH PROGRAMS. CORONERS AND MEDICAL EXAMINERS (C/MES) PLAY A CRITICAL ROLE IN GENERATING DATA FOR THE MEDICAL CERTIFICATION SECTION OF DEATH CERTIFICATES. THESE DATA ARE ROUTINELY COLLECTED IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE OVERDOSE FATALITY OCCURS AND PROVIDE AN OPPORTUNITY TO RAPIDLY EXAMINE THE CIRCUMSTANCES OF DEATH AND INFORM TIME-SENSITIVE ACTIVITIES IN RESPONSE TO FATAL OVERDOSES. THE NEW YORK CITY (NYC) OFFICE OF CHIEF MEDICAL EXAMINER (OCME) DEVELOPED A TOOL THAT USES DATA GENERATED DURING DEATH INVESTIGATIONS TO IDENTIFY DRUG OVERDOSE DEATHS IN NEAR REAL-TIME. THIS TOOL, NAMED THE SUSPECTED POTENTIAL OVERDOSE TRACKER (SPOT), USES A SMALL NUMBER OF VARIABLES ROUTINELY COLLECTED BY DEATH INVESTIGATORS IN A RIGOROUS AND REPRODUCIBLE ALGORITHM TO RAPIDLY PREDICT WHETHER A DEATH WAS AN UNINTENTIONAL DRUG OVERDOSE. WHILE PRELIMINARY FINDINGS SHOW THAT SPOT IS HIGHLY PROMISING FOR IDENTIFYING FATAL OVERDOSES IN NEAR REAL-TIME, THERE IS A NEED TO FURTHER ENHANCE THE TOOL, EXAMINE ITS PERFORMANCE ACROSS DIFFERENT SUBPOPULATIONS, AND ASSESS ITS PERFORMANCE AND USABILITY OUTSIDE OF NYC. THUS, THIS STUDY AIMS TO (1) OPTIMIZE SPOT THROUGH ADDITIONAL DATA FROM THE NYC OCME TO IMPROVE PERFORMANCE OF THE TOOL AND DEVELOP ADVANCED FEATURES USING NATURAL LANGUAGE PROCESSING; (2) ASSESS BARRIERS AND FACILITATORS OF ADOPTING SPOT IN PREPARATION FOR ITS DEPLOYMENT THROUGH SEMI-STRUCTURED INTERVIEWS WITH PRIMARY AND SECONDARY USERS OF SPOT DATA; AND (3) EVALUATE THE USABILITY AND PERFORMANCE OF SPOT IN C/ME OFFICES ACROSS NEW YORK STATE, INCLUDING COUNTIES INVOLVED IN THE NIDA-FUNDED HEALING COMMUNITIES STUDY. THE PUBLIC HEALTH IMPLICATIONS OF ADOPTING THIS TOOL ARE SIGNIFICANT: 1) IT ALLOWS FOR NEAR REAL-TIME MONITORING OF OVERDOSE FATALITY LEVELS AND DETECTION OF ATYPICAL PATTERNS; 2) IT PROVIDES A MECHANISM FOR EXPEDITED OUTREACH TO FAMILY AND FRIENDS OF OVERDOSE DECEDENTS WHO MAY BE AT HIGH RISK FOR OVERDOSE; 3) IT ALLOWS FOR IDENTIFICATION OF GAPS IN OVERDOSE RESPONSE PREPAREDNESS AND DATA-DRIVEN DECISION MAKING OF PUBLIC HEALTH AND PUBLIC SAFETY AGENCIES; AND 4) IT AFFORDS OPPORTUNITIES FOR EVALUATION AND CONSISTENT INFORMATION EXCHANGE OF OVERDOSE PREVENTION INTERVENTIONS, PROGRAMS AND POLICIES. IF FOUND SUCCESSFUL, THE SPOT METHODOLOGY CAN BE READILY DISSEMINATED TO OTHER STATES TO ENHANCE SURVEILLANCE OF DRUG OVERDOSE MORTALITY. THIS PROJECT IS HIGHLY RESPONSIVE TO A TOP NIDA RESEARCH PRIORITY, AND DIRECTLY ADDRESSES ONE OF THE NATION’S MOST CHALLENGING PUBLIC HEALTH CRISES.

OLA: OPPORTUNITIES FOR LEARNING AND ACHIEVEMENT

SCOPE AND IMPACT OF METHADONE TAKE-HOME AND TELEHEALTH PRACTICE CHANGES DURING THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC - ABSTRACT METHADONE IS AN EFFECTIVE TREATMENT FOR OPIOID USE DISORDER (OUD) THAT IS DELIVERED IN THE U.S. THROUGH SPECIALIZED OPIOID TREATMENT PROGRAMS (OTPS). SINCE THE INCEPTION OF THE OTP SYSTEM MANY DECADES AGO, FEDERAL REGULATIONS HAVE REQUIRED FREQUENT CLINIC ATTENDANCE TO MONITOR PATIENTS’ RESPONSE TO TREATMENT AND REDUCE THE RISKS OF METHADONE DIVERSION. PATIENTS CAN ONLY ‘EARN’ TAKE-HOME METHADONE AFTER SIGNIFICANT TIME IN TREATMENT WHILE DEMONSTRATING RIGID STANDARDS FOR ADHERENCE AND STABILITY. HOWEVER, THESE CLASSIC REGULATIONS ARE NOT GROUNDED IN STRONG EMPIRICAL EVIDENCE. THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC TRANSFORMED SERVICE DELIVERY PRACTICES AT OTPS. TO REDUCE CROWDING IN CLINICS, SAMHSA REGULATORS SWIFTLY ISSUED REGULATORY EXEMPTIONS THAT GAVE OTPS UNPRECEDENTED DISCRETION TO PROVIDE TAKE-HOME METHADONE DOSES AND DELIVER COUNSELING VIA TELEHEALTH. OTPS WERE SUDDENLY PERMITTED TO DISPENSE UP TO 14 DAYS OF TAKE-HOME METHADONE FOR ‘LESS STABLE’ PATIENTS, AND 28 DAYS FOR ‘STABLE’ PATIENTS. MORE RECENTLY, SAMHSA REAFFIRMED THE REGULATORY EXEMPTIONS AND ANNOUNCED INTENTIONS TO PURSUE PERMANENT REGULATORY REFORM FOR OTPS. HOWEVER, RESEARCH IS NEEDED TO EXAMINE THE SCOPE AND IMPACT OF THESE MAJOR CHANGES TO CARE DELIVERY. THIS STUDY WILL (1) CHARACTERIZE PRACTICE CHANGES AT OTPS FOLLOWING THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC AND THE ISSUANCE OF REGULATORY EXEMPTIONS, (2) EXAMINE THE RELATIONSHIP OF TWO MAJOR PRACTICE CHANGES (EXPANDED TAKE-HOME METHADONE AND TELEHEALTH PRACTICES) AND PATIENT OUTCOMES, (3) DEVELOP A PREDICTION MODEL TO INFORM DECISION- MAKING ABOUT WHEN PATIENTS CAN SAFELY RECEIVE TAKE-HOMES WITHOUT INCREASING RISK OF NEGATIVE OUTCOMES, AND (4) EXAMINE THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN EXPANDED TAKE-HOME METHADONE AND METHADONE OVERDOSE DEATHS AT A POPULATION LEVEL. THE STUDY WILL USE CLINICAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE DATA FROM BAYMARK HEALTH SERVICES, THE LARGEST PROVIDER OF OUTPATIENT OUD TREATMENT IN THE U.S., WITH 100 OTPS IN 23 STATES. ADVANCED ANALYTICAL METHODS WILL BE APPLIED TO ANSWER THE RESEARCH QUESTIONS, INCLUDING MULTILEVEL GENERALIZED LINEAR MIXED MODELING, PREDICTIVE MODELING AND SIMULATION METHODS, AND INTERRUPTED TIME SERIES. ALL ANALYSES WILL CONSIDER BEHAVIORAL HEALTH EQUITY AND EXAMINE DISPARITIES WITH RESPECT TO PATIENTS’ SEX, RACE, AND ETHNICITY. THIS STUDY WILL PROVIDE CRITICAL DATA FOR REGULATORS, OTP ADMINISTRATORS, AND PRACTITIONERS. IT WILL YIELD HIGHLY NOVEL DATA TO SUPPORT EVIDENCE-DRIVEN REGULATORY REFORM, AND COULD SHAPE METHADONE TREATMENT DELIVERY OVER THE NEXT DECADE AND BEYOND. THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC AND ASSOCIATED FEDERAL EXEMPTIONS OFFER AN UNPRECEDENTED OPPORTUNITY TO EVALUATE LONG-HELD ASSUMPTIONS ABOUT HOW METHADONE TREATMENT SHOULD BE STRUCTURED TO MAXIMIZE ITS BENEFITS WHILE SAFEGUARDING PATIENTS AND THE PUBLIC FROM UNINTENDED HARM.

NORTHERN CALIFORNIA TRIBAL MAT CONSORTIUM - FRIENDSHIP HOUSE WILL DEVELOP AND LEAD THE NORTHERN CALIFORNIA TRIBAL MAT CONSORTIUM IN RESPONSE TO THE GOALS ARTICULATED BY THE MAT-PDOA PROGRAM. THROUGH THIS PROJECT, WE WILL INCREASE ACCESS TO MOUD FOR AMERICAN INDIANS AND ALASKA NATIVES (AI/ANS) LIVING IN URBAN, RURAL AND TRIBAL AREAS OF NORTHERN CALIFORNIA. AS A DIRECT SERVICE PROVIDER, FRIENDSHIP HOUSE WILL LEAD A CONSORTIUM OF TRIBAL HEALTH PROGRAMS OPERATED BY THE INDIAN HEALTH SERVICE AND URBAN INDIAN HEALTH PROGRAMS IN NORTHERN CALIFORNIA. IN DOING SO, WE WILL CREATE A MORE COORDINATED CONTINUUM OF REFERRAL, TREATMENT AND RECOVERY SUPPORT SERVICES FOR AI/ANS EXPERIENCING OPIOID USE DISORDER. THE EPIDEMIC OF OPIOID USE DISORDER HAS DISPROPORTIONATELY IMPACTED AI/ANS, WHO EXPERIENCE THE SECOND HIGHEST RATE OF OPIOID OVERDOSE OF ALL RACIAL/ETHNIC POPULATIONS. UNFORTUNATELY, AI/ANS HAVE POOR ACCESS TO TREATMENT. NATIONALLY 71% OF AI/ANS NOW LIVE IN URBAN AREAS, WITH THAT PERCENTAGE CLOSER TO 90% IN CALIFORNIA. THESE URBAN AREAS LACK CULTURALLY-INFORMED SYSTEMS AND SERVICES. FOR AI/ANS IN RURAL OR TRIBAL AREAS, THEY OFTEN LIVE HOURS AWAY FROM A TRIBAL CLINIC OR PHARMACY, PREVENTING ACCESS TO OUD TREATMENT. THESE ACCESS GAPS ARE NOT UNIQUE TO NORTHERN CALIFORNIA. BY ADDRESSING ACCESS GAPS FOR AI/ANS IN URBAN, RURAL AND TRIBAL AREAS, THE NORTHERN CALIFORNIA TRIBAL MAT CONSORTIUM CAN SERVE AS A NATIONAL MODEL, AND A ROADMAP FOR OTHER REGIONS TO CREATE THEIR OWN TRIBAL MAT CONSORTIUM. AS THE LEAD DIRECT SERVICE PROVIDER, FRIENDSHIP HOUSE WILL EXPAND SCREENING ACROSS A SPRAWLING NORTHERN CALIFORNIA REGION AND INCREASE THE NUMBER OF AI/ANS RECEIVING RESIDENTIAL TREATMENT AT OUR SAN FRANCISCO FACILITY. THIS PROJECT WILL MAKE OUR EXISTING TREATMENT PROGRAM MORE ACCESSIBLE TO AI/ANS LIVING IN MORE REMOTE AREAS, ESTABLISH RECOVERY SUPPORT SERVICES FOR AI/ANS WHEN THEY RETURN TO THEIR COMMUNITIES, AND COORDINATE LONG-TERM MOUD AND BEHAVIORAL HEALTH CARE WITH TRIBAL HEALTH PROGRAMS. FRIENDSHIP HOUSE WILL PROVIDE RESIDENTIAL TREATMENT AND MOUD TO 675 PEOPLE THROUGHOUT THE 5 YEARS OF THE PROJECT. OUR RECOVERY SUPPORT SERVICES WILL REACH AN ADDITIONAL 433 UNDUPLICATED PEOPLE OVER THIS PERIOD. THE FOLLOWING ARE GOALS AND MEASURABLE OBJECTIVES OF OUR PROPOSED PROJECT: GOAL 1: INCREASE ACCESS TO MEDICATION-ASSISTED TREATMENT FOR INDIVIDUALS WITH OUD OBJECTIVE 1A: BY THE END OF YEAR 1, FRIENDSHIP HOUSE WILL HAVE INCREASED THE NUMBER OF ANNUAL INDIVIDUALS SCREENED FOR OUD BY 75% (FROM 500 TO 875). OBJECTIVE 1B: BY THE END OF YEAR 1, FRIENDSHIP HOUSE WILL HAVE INCREASED THE NUMBER OF ANNUAL INDIVIDUALS ADMITTED FOR RESIDENTIAL OUD TREATMENT BY 50% (FROM 70 TO 105). GOAL 2: IMPROVE CARE COORDINATION FOR INDIVIDUALS WITH OUD FROM RURAL OR TRIBAL AREAS OBJECTIVE 2A: FRIENDSHIP HOUSE WILL HAVE INCREASED THE NUMBER OF ANNUAL REFERRALS BY TRIBAL HEALTH PROGRAMS AND COUNTY COURTS BY 50% (FROM 300 TO 450). OBJECTIVE 2B: 90% OF INDIVIDUALS EXITING RESIDENTIAL OUD TREATMENT WILL HAVE STABLE HOUSING AND ACCESS TO LOCAL BEHAVIORAL AND MEDICAL HEALTH CARE. OBJECTIVE 2C: FRIENDSHIP HOUSE WILL HAVE ENGAGED WITH EACH IHS CLINIC TO COLLABORATE ON CARE COORDINATION. GOAL 3: REDUCE RELAPSE RATES AMONG INDIVIDUALS RECEIVING MAT OBJECTIVE 3A: 90% OF INDIVIDUALS IN RESIDENTIAL TREATMENT PROGRAM WILL HAVE CO-CREATED AN INDIVIDUALIZED RECOVERY PLAN BEFORE DISCHARGE FROM RESIDENTIAL TREATMENT. OBJECTIVE 3B: 75% OF INDIVIDUALS IN RECOVERY WILL PARTICIPATE REGULARLY IN PEER-BASED RECOVERY SUPPORT SERVICES FOR AT LEAST 3 MONTHS AFTER DISCHARGE FROM RESIDENTIAL TREATMENT. OBJECTIVE 3C: 90% OF INDIVIDUALS IN RECOVERY WILL HAVE SUCCESSFULLY CONTINUED THEIR PRESCRIBED MAT FOR AT LEAST 3 MONTHS AFTER DISCHARGE FROM RESIDENTIAL TREATMENT.

FRIENDS OF THE TETON RIVER, LOCATED IN TETON COUNTY, IDAHO, IN COLLABORATION WITH THE CANYON CREEK CANAL COMPANY, WILL IMPROVE AGRICULTURAL WATER RELIABILITY AND RESTORE INSTREAM FLOWS TO CANYON CREEK BY RELOCATING DIVERSIONS FROM THE CREEK TO THE LARGER TETON RIVER. CANYON CREEK SUPPORTS A CORE CONSERVATION POPULATION OF YELLOWSTONE CUTTHROAT TROUT AND IS A HIGH-PRIORITY FOR RESTORATION DUE TO ITS SIGNIFICANCE AS A PRODUCTIVE SPAWNING TRIBUTARY WITH 35 MILES OF HIGH-ELEVATION HABITAT. THE LOWER 10 MILES OF STREAM TO THE CONFLUENCE WITH THE TETON RIVER HAS BEEN SEASONALLY DEWATERED AT THE CANYON CREEK CANAL, CAUSING ECOLOGICAL AND WATER QUALITY ISSUES. TO DISCONTINUE DIVERSION AT THE CANYON CREEK CANAL, THE PROJECT PARTNERS WILL MAKE INFRASTRUCTURE IMPROVEMENTS AND MANAGEMENT CHANGES AT THREE IRRIGATION SYSTEMS, INCREASING THEIR CAPACITY AND ABILITY TO DELIVER WATER FROM THE MAIN-STEM OF THE TETON RIVER, WHICH IS NOT FLOW-LIMITED, RESULTING IN A WATER SAVINGS OF 2.16 CUBIC FEET PER SECOND AND IMPROVED WATER SUPPLY RELIABILITY FOR IRRIGATION AND DOWNSTREAM USERS. UP TO 10,680 ACRE-FEET OF WATER WILL BE RESTORED ANNUALLY TO CANYON CREEK. ONCE THE PROJECT IS COMPLETE, THE COMPANY WILL CLOSE THE CANAL, ELIMINATING FISH ENTRAINMENT, HABITAT CONNECTIVITY CONCERNS, AND WATER QUALITY IMPAIRMENT. THIS PROJECT IS SUPPORTED BY THE CANYON CREEK WATER MANAGEMENT PLAN, DEVELOPED THROUGH A WATERSMART COOPERATIVE WATERSHED MANAGEMENT PROGRAM PHASE I GRANT, AND IS ENDORSED BY A BROAD RANGE OF STAKEHOLDERS INCLUDING OTHER IRRIGATION DELIVERY ENTITIES, CONSERVATION GROUPS, GOVERNMENT AGENCIES, AND WATER USERS.

SUD IS ALSO ASSOCIATED WITH REDUCED QUALITY-OF-LIFE, AND INCREASED OVERDOSE DEATHS, UTILIZATION OF HIGH-COST HEALTHCARE SERVICES, ENGAGEMENT IN A STREET ECONOMY, AND CYCLES OF INCARCERATION.17-26 THIS APPLICATION BUILDS UPON THE HIGHLY PROMISING FINDINGS FROM OUR OPEN-LABEL PHASE I A.S.K.- PREP (ASSISTANCE SERVICES KNOWLEDGE-PREP) PILOT, WHICH UTILIZED PREP NAVIGATION WITH TEXT MESSAGE (SMS) SUPPORT TO INCREASE PREP INITIATION AMONG TW/MSM. THE PHASE II STUDY WILL IMPLEMENT A RCT WITH A STEPPED CARE DESIGN OF ASK-PREP VS. STANDARD OF CARE (SOC) TO DETERMINE OPTIMAL INTERVENTION RESPONSE AMONG TW/MSM WITH A SUD (N=285; N=95 TW; N=190 MSM) FOR ADVANCEMENT ALONG THE PREP CARE CONTINUUM. PARTICIPANTS WILL BE RANDOMIZED (3:1) TO STEPPED CARE (N=214) OR SOC (N=71). PARTICIPANTS IN THE STEPPED CARE ARM WILL RECEIVE THE SAME ASK-PREP INTERVENTION THAT WAS DELIVERED IN THE PILOT STUDY AND WILL BE ASSESSED AT 3- MONTHS FOR INTERVENTION RESPONSE; RESPONDERS WILL BE MAINTAINED IN ASK-PREP, WHILE NON-RESPONDERS WILL RECEIVE ADDED ATTENTION TO THEIR SUD VIA CONTINGENCY MANAGEMENT (CM). NON-RESPONDERS WILL BE RE-RANDOMIZED (1:1) TO EITHER A) RECEIVE ASK-PREP + CM, OR B) SHIFT THE PRIMARY FOCUS TO THEIR SUD (CM ALONE). THE ASK-PREP NAVIGATION INTERVENTION IS BASED ON MECHANISMS OF THE REASONED ACTION APPROACH, SMS SUPPORT IS BASED IN SOCIAL SUPPORT THEORY, AND CM IS BASED ON BEHAVIORAL ECONOMICS. THE SPECIFIC AIMS ARE TO: 1) EVALUATE A STEPPED CARE APPROACH PROMOTING ADVANCEMENT ALONG THE PREP CARE CONTINUUM (INITIATION, ADHERENCE, PERSISTENCE), AND REDUCTIONS IN SUBSTANCE USE AMONG TW/MSM WITH A SUD; 2) ESTIMATE THE COST OF IMPLEMENTING AND SUSTAINING EACH INTERVENTION AND CONDUCT A COST-EFFECTIVENESS ANALYSIS TO DETERMINE THE VALUE OF EACH INTERVENTION RELATIVE TO SOC, AND TO EACH OTHER, FROM THE HEALTHCARE-SECTOR, STATE-POLICYMAKER, AND SOCIETAL PERSPECTIVES; SECONDARY AIM 1) DETERMINE THE INDIVIDUAL EFFECTS OF SPECIFIC SUBSTANCES, ROUTES OF ADMINISTRATION, SEVERITY OF SUD, SOCIAL AND STRUCTURAL DETERMINANTS OF HEALTH, AND DIFFERING INDIVIDUAL-LEVEL CHARACTERISTICS AS MODERATORS OF OUTCOMES; AND EXPLORATORY AIM) EVALUATE INTERVENTION ENGAGEMENT AND RESPONSE BY CHOSEN PREP MODALITY (ORAL DAILY OR LONG-ACTING INJECTABLE). THE “INTENT-TO-TREAT” RCT USES REPEATED ASSESSMENTS AT BASELINE AND AT 3-, 6-, 9-, AND 12-MONTHS POST ENROLLMENT. THE STUDY WILL BE CONDUCTED IN LOS ANGELES COUNTY, AN EHE PRIORITY COUNTY.27, 28 THIS STUDY COULD HAVE SIGNIFICANT PUBLIC HEALTH IMPACT BY IDENTIFYING SCALABLE AND EFFECTIVE PREP INTERVENTIONS THAT MATCH INTENSITY AND PARTICIPANT NEEDS TO MAXIMIZE EFFICACY WHILE MINIMIZING COSTS.

FINALIZED PRECONSTRUCTION TASKS - HERRING RIVER RESTORATION

THE FRIENDS PROGRAM, INC. IS A NON-PROFIT HUMAN SERVICES AGENCY OPERATING SINCE 1975 WITH FOUR PROGRAMS: A YOUTH MENTORING PROGRAM, EMERGENCY HOUSING FOR FAMILIES, FOSTER GRANDPARENT PROGRAM AND RSVP - RETIRED AND SENIOR VOLUNTEER PROGRAM. 106 OR MORE FOSTER GRANDPARENT PROGRAM VOLUNTEERS WILL SERVE EACH YEAR. THESE VOLUNTEERS WILL SUPPORT CHILDREN'S DEVELOPMENT IN A VARIETY OF WAYS. SOME FOSTER GRANDPARENTS WILL PROVIDE ONE-TO-ONE AND SMALL GROUP TUTORING TO IMPROVE STUDENT ENGAGEMENT, ATTENDANCE, AND ATTITUDES TOWARD EDUCATION. SUPPORTED STUDENTS WILL SEE IMPROVED OUTCOMES IN LITERACY AS WELL AS MATHEMATICS AS A RESULT OF THEIR INCREASED ENGAGEMENT. SOME FOSTER GRANDPARENTS WILL PROVIDE SOCIAL AND EMOTIONAL SUPPORT TO IMPROVE STUDENTS' UNDERSTANDING OF TASK ORGANIZATION AND TO INCREASE TASK COMPLETION. FOSTER GRANDPARENTS WILL PROVIDE HELP TO STUDENTS WITH ASSIGNMENT PLANNING, PROBLEM-SOLVING, AND PROVIDE BEHAVIORAL REINFORCEMENT AT THE DIRECTION OF THE TEACHER. THOSE FOSTER GRANDPARENTS ASSIGNED TO CHILD CARE AND HEAD START PROGRAMS WILL SUPPORT PRE-LITERACY ACTIVITIES AND EMOTIONAL DEVELOPMENT THROUGH READING ALOUD, SUPPORTING TASK COMPLETION, ENCOURAGING COOPERATION, AND PROVIDING ONE-TO-ONE ATTENTION. ALL FOSTER GRANDPARENTS WILL SERVE AS POSITIVE ROLE MODELS AND PROMOTE EACH CHILD'S DEVELOPMENT. THE PRIMARY FOCUS AREA IS EDUCATION. AT THE END OF THE THREE-YEAR GRANT, 1,371 DISADVANTAGED CHILDREN AND YOUTH WILL SHOW EVIDENCE OF INCREASED ACADEMIC ENGAGEMENT AS EVALUATED BY THEIR TEACHERS. THESE STUDENTS WILL DEMONSTRATE EFFECTS SUCH AS IMPROVED ATTENDANCE, IMPROVED ATTITUDES TOWARDS EDUCATION, IMPROVED BEHAVIOR, AND IMPROVED ORGANIZATION AND TASK COMPLETION. THESE IMPROVEMENTS WILL SUPPORT STRONGER RESULTS IN LITERACY AND MATHEMATICS. 297 YOUNG CHILDREN (UNDER 6) WHO ARE AT-RISK OR IN POVERTY WILL IMPROVE THEIR SOCIAL AND EMOTIONAL DEVELOPMENT. THESE MOST VULNERABLE CHILDREN WILL DEMONSTRATE IMPROVED SELF-CONTROL, INCREASED COOPERATION AND IMPROVED SOCIAL RELATIONSHIPS.

A PATIENT PREFERENCE TRIAL OF SUBLINGUAL VERSUS EXTENDED-RELEASE BUPRENORPHINE TELEMEDICINE AND PHARMACY LINKAGE FOR INDIVIDUALS RE-ENTERING THE COMMUNITY FROM JAIL - ABSTRACT THIS PROPOSED STUDY IS A PATIENT PREFERENCE TRIAL (PPT) OF XR-B VS. SL-B IN 8 RURAL JAILS IN MARYLAND. A TOTAL OF 500 ADULTS WITH MODERATE/SEVERE OUD SOON-TO-BE-RELEASED FROM JAIL WILL BE RECRUITED AND WILL CHOOSE TO RECEIVE XR-B OR SL-B TREATMENT IN JAIL VIA TELEMEDICINE FOLLOWED BY 6-MONTHS OF POST-RELEASE XR-B/SL-B TREATMENT VIA TELEMEDICINE AT COMMUNITY PHARMACIES, A 7-MONTH SAFETY VISIT, AND 12-MONTH FOLLOW-UP. ALL INDIVIDUALS RECEIVING XR-B WILL HAVE THEIR INJECTION ADMINISTERED BY A PHARMACIST, ALLOWING THE TELEMEDICINE TREATMENT TO BE FULLY REMOTE AND EQUIVALENT TO THAT OF SL-B WHICH WILL ALSO BE FILLED AT A LOCAL PHARMACY. IN ADDITION, THE CONSOLIDATED FRAMEWORK FOR IMPLEMENTATION RESEARCH (CFIR) AND REACH, EFFECTIVENESS, ADOPTION, IMPLEMENTATION, AND MAINTENANCE (RE-AIM) FRAMEWORK WILL BE UTILIZED TO UNDERSTAND IMPLEMENTATION OF TELEMEDICINE OF XR-B AND SL-B IN JAILS AND CONTINUED AT COMMUNITY PHARMACIES. AIM 1. COMPARE THE EFFECTIVENESS OF XR-B VS. SL-B IN TERMS OF: PRIMARY OUTCOME. (A) RETENTION IN BUPRENORPHINE TREATMENT (I. DAYS RECEIVING BUPRENORPHINE AND II. TIME TO TREATMENT DROPOUT). SECONDARY OUTCOMES. (B) ILLICIT OPIOID USE (I. URINE TOXICOLOGY; II. SELF-REPORTED DAYS OF OPIOID USE; AND III. TIME TO OPIOID RELAPSE); (C) OTHER ILLICIT SUBSTANCE USE (I. URINE TOXICOLOGY; II. SELF-REPORTED DAYS OF ILLICIT SUBSTANCE USE; (D) OVERDOSE EVENTS (NON-FATAL AND FATAL); (E) HEALTH-RELATED QUALITY OF LIFE (I. PHYSICAL HEALTH; II. MENTAL HEALTH); (F) HIV RISK BEHAVIORS (I. SEXUAL RISK BEHAVIOR; II. NEEDLE USE OR SHARING); AND (G) CRIMINAL ACTIVITY (I. CRIME DAYS; II. RE-ARREST; III. TECHNICAL VIOLATIONS; IV. RE- INCARCERATION). AIM 2. DOCUMENT FACTORS RELEVANT TO IMPLEMENTATION AND SUSTAINABILITY OF THE TELEMEDICINE BUPRENORPHINE INTERVENTION IN JAILS AND PHARMACY SETTINGS. GUIDED BY CFIR AND RE-AIM WE WILL GAUGE 1) HOW TO OPTIMIZE KEY INTERVENTION COMPONENTS (E.G., DOSE INDUCTION, TELEMEDICINE PROCEDURES, MEDICATION PREFERENCES, CONTINUITY OF CARE, INNER AND OUTER CONTEXT FACTORS, STIGMA, PHARMACY PROCEDURES, IMPROVEMENT OF THE CASCADE OF CARE FOR OUD) AND 2) THE RE-AIM OF KEY IMPLEMENTATION FACTORS. TO ACHIEVE THIS AIM, WE WILL CONDUCT INTERVIEWS WITH STAKEHOLDERS (N = 10, E.G., PHARMACISTS, TELEMEDICINE PROVIDERS, JAIL STAFF PER SITE; TOTAL N = 80). THE STUDY WILL BE INNOVATIVE FOR TWO REASONS: 1) IT WOULD BE THE FIRST LARGE SCALE PPT OF XR-B/SL-B USING TELEMEDICINE AMONG INDIVIDUALS LEAVING JAIL; AND 2) IT WOULD BE THE FIRST STUDY CONTINUING XR-B INJECTIONS WITH A RE-ENTRY POPULATION AT PHARMACIES. THE STUDY WILL BE HIGHLY SIGNIFICANT BECAUSE MOST INDIVIDUALS WITH OUD DO NOT RECEIVE TREATMENT WHILE IN JAIL, THEREBY SUBSTANTIALLY RAISING THEIR LIKELIHOOD OF RELAPSE TO DRUG USE, OVERDOSE DEATH, AND RE-INCARCERATION WHEN THEY ARE RELEASED. A TELEMEDICINE PROGRAM MAY IMPROVE THE CONTINUITY OF CARE BETWEEN INCARCERATION AND RE-ENTRY WHICH IS THE PERIOD IN WHICH INDIVIDUALS WITH AN OUD ARE MOST VULNERABLE. FINALLY, UNDERSTANDING HOW TO EXPAND ACCEPTANCE OF MOUDS IN JAILS USING TELEMEDICINE AND PHARMACY ADMINISTRATION OF XR-B, HAS FAR-REACHING IMPLICATIONS FOR EXPANDING TREATMENT ACCESS.

IMPLEMENTING A PATIENT NAVIGATION INTERVENTION ACROSS A HEALTH SYSTEM TO IMPROVE OUTCOMES FOR PATIENTS WITH OPIOID USE DISORDER - OPIOID AGONIST TREATMENT (OAT) IS PROTECTIVE AGAINST OVERDOSE, YET LESS THAN 20% OF PEOPLE WITH OPIOID USE DISORDER (OUD) ENGAGE IN SUCH TREATMENT. HOSPITAL UTILIZATION IS HIGH AMONG PEOPLE WITH OUD AND CAN BE A ‘REACHABLE MOMENT’ TO INITIATE OAT. HOWEVER, MOST HOSPITALS LACK THE CAPACITY TO FOLLOW UP WITH PATIENTS AFTER DISCHARGE. PATIENT NAVIGATOR (PN) INTERVENTIONS FOLLOWING HOSPITAL DISCHARGE CAN HELP PATIENTS ENGAGE IN OAT AND NAVIGATE COMPLEX SYSTEMS OF CARE. HOWEVER, CHALLENGES PERSIST IN IMPLEMENTING PN INTERVENTIONS ON A WIDE SCALE, AS THEY REQUIRE COORDINATION ACROSS ORGANIZATIONS, DATA SHARING, DEDICATED PERSONNEL, AND RESOURCES. TO BRING THESE INTERVENTIONS TO SCALE, STRATEGIES ARE NEEDED TO DETERMINE FEASIBILITY, REACH, AND SUSTAINABILITY. TESTING INNOVATIVE IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGIES FOR PN INTERVENTIONS HAS THE POTENTIAL FOR SIGNIFICANT IMPACT, AS IT WILL DEMONSTRATE IMPLEMENTATION SUCCESS OF AN INTERVENTION THAT CAN ADDRESS THE OPIOID EPIDEMIC IN REAL-WORLD SETTINGS AND CLOSE THE RESEARCH-TO-PRACTICE TRANSLATION GAP. THE PROPOSED STUDY IS A TYPE II HYBRID IMPLEMENTATION-EFFECTIVENESS TRIAL OF NAVIGATION SERVICES TO AVOID REHOSPITALIZATION (NAVSTAR). OUR RESEARCH TEAM SHOWED IN A SINGLE-SITE RANDOMIZED TRIAL WITH 400 PARTICIPANTS THAT NAVSTAR SIGNIFICANTLY IMPROVED OAT ENTRY, REDUCED READMISSIONS, AND WAS HIGHLY COST-EFFECTIVE COMPARED TO TREATMENT AS USUAL. THE PRESENT STUDY WILL TEST AN IMPLEMENTATION FACILITATION (IF) STRATEGY TO PROVIDE TRAINING, RESOURCES, AND PERFORMANCE FEEDBACK TO IMPLEMENT NAVSTAR IN FOUR HOSPITALS IN PHILADELPHIA. WE HYPOTHESIZE THAT ENGAGING STAKEHOLDERS IN AN IF STRATEGY WILL YIELD AN IMPLEMENTATION PROCESS THAT IS FEASIBLE, ACCEPTABLE, AND EFFECTIVE IN IMPROVING OUTCOMES FOR PATIENTS WITH OUD. THE R61 PHASE WILL CONDUCT PROCESS MAPPING TO IDENTIFY EXISTING HOSPITAL WORKFLOW AND THEN REFINE AN IF STRATEGY THROUGH SEQUENTIAL PILOT TRIALS AT 4 HOSPITAL SITES. R61 MILESTONES INCLUDE THE CREATION OF AN IMPLEMENTATION TOOLKIT AND DATA SHARING AGREEMENTS. DURING THE R33 PHASE, WE WILL CONDUCT A TYPE II HYBRID-IMPLEMENTATION-EFFECTIVENESS TRIAL (N=720) OF NAVSTAR USING A RANDOMIZED STEPPED-WEDGE DESIGN.

CONTINUING CARE APP FOR JUSTICE-INVOLVED INDIVIDUALS WITH SUBSTANCE USE DISORDERS - ABSTRACT SUBSTANCE USE DISORDERS (SUDS) CONTINUE TO BE ONE OF THE MOST SERIOUS PUBLIC HEALTH PROBLEMS IN THE US.1 STUDIES HAVE CONSISTENTLY DOCUMENTED A SUBSTANTIALLY HIGHER PREVALENCE OF SUDS AMONG ADULTS UNDER JUSTICE SUPERVISION IN THE COMMUNITY (I.E., PROBATION/PAROLE) AS COMPARED TO THE GENERAL POPULATION.2-4 CONTINUING CARE INITIATIVES FOR INDIVIDUALS WITH SUDS HAVE GAINED INCREASED ATTENTION WITH THE RECOGNITION THAT SUBSTANCE USE TREATMENT REQUIRES LONG-TERM CARE.15, 46, 47, 54-58 STUDIES SHOW THAT CONTINUING CARE INTERVENTIONS CAN PROVIDE ONGOING SUPPORT OR EXTEND PRIMARY TREATMENT GAINS WITH RESPECT TO REDUCTIONS IN SUBSTANCE USE, RELAPSE, AND CRIMINAL ACTIVITY.12, 52, 55, 56, 61-63 RECENT DIFFUSION OF INTERNET AND SMARTPHONE TECHNOLOGIES AMONG DISADVANTAGED POPULATIONS NOW OFFERS UNPRECEDENTED OPPORTUNITIES FOR INCREASING ACCESS TO QUALITY CONTINUING CARE INTERVENTIONS AS WELL AS CHRONIC DISEASE SELF-MANAGEMENT TOOLS. PROBATIONERS AND PAROLEES AT HIGH RISK FOR DRUG ABUSE RELAPSE AND INVOLVEMENT IN HEALTH COMPROMISING BEHAVIORS ARE AN IMPORTANT POPULATION THAT STANDS TO BENEFIT FROM CONTINUING CARE TECHNOLOGIES. BUILDING ON OUR TEAM’S EXTENSIVE EXPERIENCE IN THE FIELDS OF CRIMINOLOGY AND SUBSTANCE USE, WE PROPOSE TO FINALIZE THE DEVELOPMENT OF A CONTINUING CARE MOBILE APPLICATION (APP) BY ENHANCING APP CAPABILITIES AND CONDUCTING A RANDOMIZED CONTROLLED TRIAL TO ASSESS ITS EFFECTIVENESS AMONG CLIENTS ON PROBATION OR PAROLE WHO ARE ENROLLED IN OUTPATIENT SUBSTANCE USE TREATMENT. THE APP IS DESIGNED TO MEET THE RECOVERY AND PERSONAL SUPPORT NEEDS OF PROBATIONERS AND PAROLEES WITH SUDS WHO ARE AT ELEVATED RISK OF RELAPSE, TREATMENT DISCONTINUATION, RE-ARREST, AND INCARCERATION. IT IS GUIDED BY THE PRINCIPLES OF THE TRANSTHEORETICAL MODEL OF BEHAVIOR CHANGE,24 AND APP CONTENT IS DERIVED FROM THE YOUR OWN REINTEGRATION SYSTEM (YOURS) PROGRAM,25 AN EMPIRICALLY-SUPPORTED26 INTERVENTION THAT FOCUSES ON SUBSTANCE USE RECOVERY, REDUCING CRIMINAL THINKING AND BEHAVIOR, AND CULTIVATING SUPPORT SYSTEMS. IF PROVEN TO BE EFFECTIVE, THE CC APP COULD BE DEPLOYED ACROSS THE NATIONAL NETWORK OF OUTPATIENT TREATMENT PROVIDERS AND BE HIGHLY SIGNIFICANT IN ITS DIRECT IMPACT ON PUBLIC HEALTH.

THE FRIENDS OF THE CHILDREN'S PREVENTING SYSTEM INVOLVEMENT PROJECT WILL BENEFIT YOUTH IN AT LEAST 19 STATES WHO ARE MOST AT RISK OF DELINQUENCY, VIOLENCE, SUBSTANCE ABUSE, SCHOOL FAILURE, AND EARLY PARENTING. UNIQUELY DESIGNED TO IMPROVE OUTCOMES FOR THE HIGHEST-RISK YOUTH, FRIENDS OF THE CHILDREN EMPLOYS SALARIED, PROFESSIONAL MENTORS (FRIENDS) AND COMMITS TO YOUTH FOR 12.5 YEARS FROM KINDERGARTEN THROUGH HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATION. FOR 31 YEARS, THE FRIENDS OF THE CHILDREN MODEL HAS BEEN SUCCESSFUL AT CLOSING THE OPPORTUNITY GAP AND BREAKING CYCLES OF INTERGENERATIONAL POVERTY FOR CHILDREN WHO HAVE EXPERIENCED MULTIPLE, COMPOUNDING RISK FACTORS AT AN EARLY AGE. THE GOALS OF THE PROPOSED PROJECT ARE TO: PROVIDE 12 HOURS/MONTH (144 HOURS/YEAR) OF PROFESSIONAL, INDIVIDUALIZED GOAL-DIRECTED MENTORING TO YOUTH AGES 4 TO 17 (ENROLLING NEW YOUTH) WHO HAVE BEEN ASSESSED AS HIGH RISK FOR LATER ANTISOCIAL BEHAVIOR AND DELINQUENCY BY GRANTING SUBAWARDS TO CHAPTERS WITHIN THE GROWING NATIONAL NETWORK DURING THE 3-YEAR GRANT PERIOD; AND DEVELOP AND IMPLEMENT A NEW CERTIFICATE FOR PROFESSIONAL MENTORING, WHICH WILL ADVANCE THE SKILLS AND KNOWLEDGE NEEDED TO QUALIFY AS A PROFESSIONAL MENTOR. THE CURRICULUM WILL FOCUS ON THE CORE COMPETENCIES OF BEING A PROFESSIONAL MENTOR, INCLUDING TRAUMA-INFORMED, CULTURALLY RESPONSIVE PRACTICE AND SYSTEMS ADVOCACY/NAVIGATION. FOLLOWING YOUTH AND CAREGIVER INPUT AND NETWORK PILOT TESTING, A PLAN WILL BE IN PLACE FOR DISSEMINATION ACROSS THE FRIENDS OF THE CHILDREN NETWORK.

LEVERAGING SOCIAL DETERMINANTS VIA ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE AND PEER COACHING TO ADDRESS RACIAL DISPARITIES IN PRIMARY CARE AMONG PEOPLE WHO USE OPIOIDS - PROJECT SUMMARY BLACK AND LATINX PEOPLE WHO USE OPIOIDS (PWUO) BEAR A DISPROPORTIONATE BURDEN OF OPIOID OVERDOSE DEATHS. THE ECONOMIC BURDEN FACED BY BLACK AND LATINX PWUO HAS ALSO RISEN DUE TO COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH EXCESS MORTALITY AND UTILIZATION OF HIGH-COST HEALTHCARE SERVICES. COMPARED TO WHITE PWUO, BLACK AND LATINX PWUO ARE LESS LIKELY TO BE INITIATED ON BUPRENORPHINE IN EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT (ED) SETTINGS AND ESTABLISH CARE IN PRIMARY CARE FOR THE TREATMENT OF OPIOID USE DISORDER (OUD). RACIAL DISPARITIES AMONG PWUO IN PRIMARY CARE ARE DRIVEN BY SOCIAL DETERMINANTS OF HEALTH (SDH; E.G., LACK OF PEER SUPPORT OR HEALTH INSURANCE) AND MAY BE PARTIALLY ADDRESSED BY ADOPTING INNOVATIVE MOBILE HEALTH AND PEER COACHING STRATEGIES. WITH NIH SUPPORT, WE HAVE VALIDATED A THEORY-DRIVEN, ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE (AI)-DRIVEN TEXTING TOOL USING NATURAL LANGUAGE PROCESSING TO FACILITATE REAL-TIME TEXT RESPONSES TO PATIENT QUERIES COMBINED WITH AUTOMATED TEXTS FACILITATING RECEIPT OF BUPRENORPHINE IN OFFICE-BASED OPIOID TREATMENT (OBOT) AND SOCIAL SERVICES THAT ADDRESS SOCIAL DETERMINANTS OF HEALTH (SDH). THIS OPEN SOURCE TEXTING TOOL OFFERS PASSIVE REMINDERS, INFORMATIONAL CONTENT, AND INTERACTIVE TWO- WAY RESPONSE ALGORITHMS WITHOUT PERSONAL STAFF CONTACT. IN ADDITION, WE HAVE ADAPTED AN EFFICACIOUS CULTURAL AND STRUCTURAL HUMILITY TRAINING FOR PRCS THAT GOES BEYOND SDH TO ALSO ADDRESS STIGMA REDUCTION, DISCRIMINATION, HEALTH HABITUS, AND PATIENT NAVIGATION TO ENHANCE UPTAKE OF PRIMARY CARE AND SOCIAL SERVICES FOR PWUO. USING A THREE-ARM, COMPARATIVE EFFECTIVENESS TRIAL DESIGN, OUR SPECIFIC AIMS ARE TO: (1) ASSESS THE EFFICACY OF PRC- SUPPORTED TEXT-BASED CARE/SERVICES COORDINATION WITH PWUO + AI-DRIVEN SDH-ENHANCED TEXT MESSAGING (INTERVENTION ARM-1) VS. AI-DRIVEN SDH-ENHANCED TEXT MESSAGING ONLY (INTERVENTION ARM-2) VS. TAU OR PRINTED SOCIAL/MEDICAL SERVICES REFERRALS (CONTROL) TO ENHANCE THE RECEIPT OF BUPRENORPHINE IN OBOT AMONG ED-ENROLLED BLACK / LATINX PWUO (N=252); (2) EVALUATE THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE MULTIMODAL INTERVENTION (ARM-1) GUIDED BY THE RE-AIM AND CFIR FRAMEWORKS USING IN-DEPTH INTERVIEWS AMONG 3 STAKEHOLDER GROUPS: (1) FRONTLINE PROVIDERS (N=10); (2) ADMINISTRATORS (N=10); AND (3) A SUBSET OF THE BLACK AND LATINX PWUO FROM THE MULTIMODAL INTERVENTION ARM-1 (N=30); AND (3) IDENTIFY THE RESOURCES AND ESTIMATE THE ASSOCIATED COST OF IMPLEMENTING AND SUSTAINING THE MULTIMODAL INTERVENTION AND INCORPORATE THIS INFORMATION INTO A CUSTOMIZABLE BUDGET-IMPACT TOOL AND CONDUCT A COMPREHENSIVE ECONOMIC EVALUATION TO CALCULATE THE RELATIVE ECONOMIC VALUE (E.G., COST-PER QUALITY-ADJUSTED LIFE YEARS, COST-PER OUD TREATMENT DAYS) OF EACH STUDY ARM FROM THE HEALTHCARE SECTOR, STATE- POLICYMAKER, AND SOCIETAL PERSPECTIVES WHICH WILL ALSO INFORM IMPLEMENTATION FRAMED BY RE-AIM. OUR TEAM IS POISED TO CONDUCT THIS STUDY GIVEN EXPERTISE IN NOVEL CULTURAL & STRUCTURAL HUMILITY TRAINING DESIGNED FOR PEERS, IN OPEN SOURCE AI-DRIVEN MOBILE HEALTH INNOVATIONS, AND WAS INSTRUMENTAL IN INTEGRATING MHEALTH AND TELEMEDICINE SOLUTIONS FOR PATIENTS INITIATING BUPRENORPHINE IN PRIMARY CARE. IF SUCCESSFUL, A MULTISITE EFFECTIVENESS-IMPLEMENTATION HYBRID TYPE 1 TRIAL WILL FOLLOW. .

THE ALBRIGHT POWER STATION DAM REMOVAL PROJECT ON THE CHEAT RIVER WILL IMPROVE WATERSHED CONNECTIVITY, WATER QUALITY, SENSITIVE SPECIES POPULATION HEALTH, AND FLOOD AND CLIMATE RESILIENCY FOR THE CHEAT RIVER AND ITS COMMUNITIES THROUGH THE REMOVAL OF AN OBSOLETE LOWHEAD DAM. THE PROJECT WILL RECONNECT 75 MILES OF MAINSTEM HABITAT AND HUNDREDS OF MILES OF TRIBUTARY RIVERS AND STREAMS FOR SENSITIVE SPECIES, SUCH AS EASTERN HELLBENDER, FRESHWATER MUSSELS, WALLEYE, AND BROOK TROUT. CURRENTLY, THE ALBRIGHT POWER STATION DAM BLOCKS NATIVE WALLEYE FROM RECOLONIZING THE CHEAT RIVER AFTER DECADES-LONG POLLUTION CLEANUP EFFORTS HAVE RESULTED IN THE RESTORATION OF THEIR POPULATION IN CHEAT LAKE. THE DAM ALSO BLOCKS MAINSTEM CONNECTION BETWEEN LOCAL BROOK TROUT STREAMS UPSTREAM AND DOWNSTREAM OF THE DAM. EASTERN HELLBENDER HAVE BEEN DETECTED UPSTREAM AND DOWNSTREAM OF THE DAM, ISOLATING POPULATIONS FROM ONE ANOTHER. FRIENDS OF THE CHEAT IS PURSUING REINTRODUCTION EFFORTS FOR NATIVE FRESHWATER MUSSELS IN THE CHEAT RIVER, OF WHICH THE DAM WOULD IMPEDE THEIR SUCCESS. ADDITIONALLY, THE PROJECT WILL OPEN 6 MILES OF RIVER TO FLATWATER PADDLING OPPORTUNITIES, PREVIOUSLY INACCESSIBLE TO THE PUBLIC, AND WILL ESTABLISH A NEW PUBLIC RIVER ACCESS POINT. THE PROJECT WILL BENEFIT THE LOCAL COMMUNITIES IN PRESTON AND TUCKER COUNTIES, OF WHICH THE CHEAT RIVER FLOWS THROUGH. NEW OPPORTUNITIES FOR THESE COMMUNITIES INCLUDE INCREASED FISHING OPPORTUNITIES, ONE DAY OR MULTI-DAY PADDLING TRIPS, AND NEW OPPORTUNITIES FOR SMALL BUSINESSES TO OFFER RECREATION-BASED TOURISM SERVICES (FOOD, LODGING, FISHING & BOATING SUPPLIES, ETC.) ADDITIONALLY, REMOVING THE ALBRIGHT POWER STATION DAM WILL REDUCE THE RISK OF INFRASTRUCTURE FAILURE IN ALBRIGHT, WV, AS THE STRUCTURE IS OVER 70 YEARS OLD AND NO LONGER SERVES A PURPOSE.

COMPARATIVE- AND COST-EFFECTIVENESS RESEARCH DETERMINING THE OPTIMAL INTERVENTION FOR ADVANCING TRANSGENDER WOMEN LIVING WITH HIV TO FULL VIRAL SUPPRESSION - ABSTRACT TRANS WOMEN (TW) ACHIEVE SUBOPTIMAL ADVANCEMENT THROUGH THE HIV CARE CONTINUUM,1-7 INCLUDING POOR HIV HEALTHCARE UTILIZATION,8,9 RETENTION IN HIV MEDICAL CARE,10-12 AND RATES OF VIRAL SUPPRESSION.3,4,6,7,13,14 THESE ISSUES ARE EXACERBATED BY COMORBID CONDITIONS, SUCH AS SUBSTANCE USE DISORDER (SUD),15-22 WHICH IS ALSO ASSOCIATED WITH REDUCED QUALITY-OF-LIFE, AND INCREASED OVERDOSE DEATHS, UTILIZATION OF HIGH-COST HEALTHCARE SERVICES, ENGAGEMENT IN A STREET ECONOMY, AND CYCLES OF INCARCERATION.23,24 DRUG USE AMONG TW HAS BEEN DEMONSTRATED TO BE A BARRIER TO HIV CARE AND ADVANCEMENT ALONG THE HIV CARE CONTINUUM.16 THUS, IT IS CRITICAL THAT EFFORTS TO END THE HIV EPIDEMIC (EHE) INCLUDE EFFECTIVE INTERVENTIONS TO LINK AND RETAIN TW IN HIV CARE THROUGH FULL VIRAL SUPPRESSION.25-27 THIS STUDY BUILDS ON THE PROMISING FINDINGS FROM OUR TWO HRSA-FUNDED DEMONSTRATION PROJECTS, THE ALEXIS PROJECT28 AND TEXT ME, GIRL!,29 WHICH UTILIZED PEER HEALTH NAVIGATION (PHN) AND SMS (I.E., TEXT MESSAGING), RESPECTIVELY, FOR ADVANCING TW LIVING WITH HIV TO FULL VIRAL SUPPRESSION. THOUGH THE EFFECTIVENESS OF BOTH INTERVENTIONS HAS BEEN ESTABLISHED, THEIR COMPARATIVE-EFFECTIVENESS, REQUIRED RESOURCES/COSTS, COST-EFFECTIVENESS, AND HETEROGENEOUS EFFECTS ON SUBGROUPS, INCLUDING THOSE WITH SUD, HAVE NOT BEEN EVALUATED. GIVEN THE MANY NEGATIVE PERSONAL- AND PUBLIC-HEALTH CONSEQUENCES OF UNTREATED/UNDERTREATED HIV, AND THAT HIV SERVICES FOR TW ARE FREQUENTLY DELIVERED IN RESOURCE-LIMITED, COMMUNITY-BASED SETTINGS,30-33 A COMPREHENSIVE ECONOMIC EVALUATION IS CRITICAL TO INFORM DECISIONS OF STAKEHOLDERS, SUCH AS PROVIDERS, INSURERS, AND POLICYMAKERS. THE “INTENT-TO-TREAT” RCT WILL RANDOMIZE PARTICIPANTS (N=225) INTO: PHN ALONE (N=75), SMS ALONE (N=75), OR PHN+SMS (N=75). USING THE SAME TIME POINTS AS THE HRSA PROJECTS, THE REPEATED-MEASURES DESIGN WILL ASSESS PARTICIPANTS AT BASELINE, 3-, 6-, 12-, AND 18-MONTHS POST-RANDOMIZATION. THE SPECIFIC AIMS ARE: 1) CONDUCT A COMPARATIVE EFFECTIVENESS RESEARCH TRIAL TO DETERMINE THE RELATIVE EFFECTIVENESS OF PHN VS. SMS VS. PHN+SMS IN TERMS OF: PRIMARY (A) VIROLOGIC SUPPRESSION; AND SECONDARY OUTCOMES (B) HIV TREATMENT ADHERENCE SELF-EFFICACY SCALE SCORES; (C) THE AIDS HEALTH BELIEF SCALE SCORES; (D) THE INVENTORY OF SOCIALLY SUPPORTIVE BEHAVIORS SCORES; AND (E) URINE DRUG SCREEN RESULTS; 2) IDENTIFY THE RESOURCES REQUIRED TO PREPARE FOR, IMPLEMENT, AND SUSTAIN EACH INTERVENTION, AND ESTIMATE THE ASSOCIATED COSTS; 3) CONDUCT A COMPREHENSIVE COST-EFFECTIVENESS ANALYSIS TO DETERMINE THE RELATIVE VALUE OF EACH INTERVENTION FROM THE HEALTHCARE-SECTOR, STATE-POLICYMAKER, AND SOCIETAL PERSPECTIVES; AND, A SECONDARY AIM TO DETERMINE HETEROGENEOUS INTERVENTION EFFECTS ACROSS INTERVENTIONS DUE TO SOCIAL AND STRUCTURAL DETERMINANTS OF HEALTH AND INDIVIDUAL-LEVEL CHARACTERISTICS. TW ARE A HIGH-PRIORITY POPULATION FOR REACHING EHE25-27 GOALS AND LOS ANGELES COUNTY (THE STUDY LOCATION) IS AN EHE PRIORITY COUNTY.34,35 FINDINGS HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO IMPROVE INDIVIDUAL AND POPULATION HEALTH OUTCOMES BY GENERATING SIGNIFICANT IMPROVEMENTS IN VIRAL SUPPRESSION AMONG TW AND GUIDING SERVICE PROVISION AND PUBLIC POLICY.
