Improving Alcohol and Substance Use Care Access, Outcome, Equity During the Reproductive Years (NCT05910580)
Improving Alcohol and Substance Use Care Access, Outcomes, and Equity During the Reproductive Years: A Type 1 Hybrid Trial in Family Planning Clinics
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
The goal of this clinical trial is to test the effectiveness of evidence-based Screening, Brief Intervention, and Referral to Treatment (SBIRT) among adult patients who screen positive to one or more risky alcohol or substance use behaviors while seeking care at a sexual and reproductive health (SRH) clinic. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Does SBIRT impact patients' alcohol and substance use, SRH, mental health, physical health, quality of life, and wellbeing? * Does SBIRT effectiveness differ by ethnicity, socioeconomic status, age, gender, and urbanicity? * Does SBIRT effectiveness differ by delivery mode (in-person vs. telemedicine)? Participants will receive in-person and telemedicine SBIRT, or usual care. Participants will complete surveys at interviews at baseline, 30 days, and 3 months. Researchers will compare patients who received SBIRT to patients who receive usual care to see if patients who receive the SBIRT intervention have a greater reduction in negative outcomes as compared to those who receive usual care. In this setting, usual care consists of basic quantity and frequency questions asked inconsistently as part of the admission process and varying by provider, with no standardized approach to screening, treatment, follow-up, or referral.
