Hospital Care for Opioid use in Illinois, 2016 –2019
This study analyzes trends in hospital emergency room visits and admissions for patients with opioid diagnoses seen at 214 hospitals in Illinois over 42 months.

This study explored facilitators to recruitment in Miami, a successful recruiting site in the national trial. The mixed-methods study included quantitative surveys of randomized participants, medical record abstraction, and qualitative interviews with study staff. Miami recruited 47 (40.5%) of 116 randomized participants in the six-site national trial. In-depth interviews of study staff (n = 6) revealed that Miami had a recruitment approach consisting of street level outreach and a close relationship with the local syringe services program (SSP).

Direct-Care Staff Perceptions of Patient Engagement and Treatment Planning in Detox
AbstractAs the prevalence of substance use disorders and drug-related deaths continue to rise, addiction treatment facilities are charged with providing effective and efficient services to curb the national substance use crisis. Direct-care staff in treatment service facilities play a crucial role in whether or not evidence-based practices are incorporated. Without their understanding and utilization of patient engagement best practices, an organization risks maintaining the status quo rather than actively pursuing improved outcomes through empirically supported approaches. Through in-depth interviews (N=13) with nurses, c...

Barriers and Facilitators to Behavior Change for Individuals with Severe Mental Illness who Received the Transdiagnostic Intervention for Sleep and Circadian Dysfunction in a Community Mental Health Setting
AbstractThe Transdiagnostic Intervention for Sleep and Circadian Dysfunction (TranS-C) was implemented in a community mental health center (CMHC) setting. The goal of TranS-C is to improve sleep and circadian dysfunction among people with severe mental illness. The present study uses the Theoretical Domains Framework (TDF) to uncover barriers and facilitators to changing behaviors learned in TranS-C. Adults with severe mental illness who completed TranS-C (n = 14) were given a semi-structured interview based on the TDF. Interview transcripts were independently coded using inductive and deductive coding. The most commo...

Examining Patient and Provider Experiences with Integrated Care at a Community Health Clinic
AbstractThe purpose of this study was to examine patient and provider experiences of integrated behavioral health care at a Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC). Using a mixed methodology design, both patients (n = 186) and providers (n = 17) completed a survey regarding satisfaction with care and the extent of integration at the clinic, as well as attended a focus group or interview (n = 11 patients; n = 12 providers) regarding their satisfaction and experiences. Both patients and providers found integration to be acceptable and satisfactory and the integration of services among different health care ...

Primary Care Implementation of a Mandatory Prescription Drug Monitoring Program in New York City
AbstractThe ways in which prescription drug monitoring programs (PDMPs) have been integrated into clinical practice remain understudied, and research into PDMP implementation in states where PDMP use by providers is mandated remains scant. This qualitative study describes how use of a state-mandated PDMP influenced clinical practice and opioid analgesic prescribing. We conducted face-to-face, in-depth interviews with 53 New York State-licensed primary care physicians who reported that they currently prescribed opioid analgesic medication, including those providers who reported consistent use of the PDMP (n = 38) in thi...
