Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This add-on study of providing tobacco, alcohol and other drug screening, brief intervention and referral for treatment to a primary care high risk diabetic population leverages the existing research resources of a funded parent project "Duke University CMS Innovation Award Southeastern Diabetes initiative (PI: Robert M. Califf, MD)" to explore the feasibility of implementing Screening for substance use, Brief Intervention, and Referral to Treatment services in Primary Care (SBIRT-PC) and to examine the effects of substance use status on diabetes health care outcomes. This pilot study also examines the feasibility of the CTN's common data element algorithms of SBIRT for illicit and nonmedical drug use in the primary care setting.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Duke University Translational Medicine Institute has received funds from the Bristol-Myers Squibb Foundation and the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (2012-2016) to augment existing standard of care for patients with diabetes in community-based medical settings in order to achieve goals of better health, better health care, and reduced costs ("Duke University CMS Innovation Award Southeastern Diabetes initiative"; Principal Investigator, Robert M. Califf, MD). Its goals are to (1) improve population-level diabetes management, health outcomes, and quality of life for diagnosed and undiagnosed adults living with type 2 diabetes, (2) reduce disparities in diabetes management, health outcomes and quality of life for adults living with type 2 diabetes, and (3) reduce healthcare costs associated with type 2 diabetes. This already funded diabetes care project provides a cost-effective platform for conducting an add-on project to examine the feasibility of the CTN's clinical decision support algorithms for SBIRT in primary care settings, as the study team can leverage existing organizational and research infrastructure to facilitate the completion of the study. The add-on study is supported by strong rationale, including the fact that primary care settings serve as common points of contact for adults and provide many opportunities to detect drug misuse and to intervene early in low or mild severity (better outcomes), which in turn may reduce substance use, increase awareness and drug-medication interactions, enhance patient medication adherence, and decrease high inpatient costs and repeat emergency department visits.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

SBIRT

This is a single arm, non-randomized study. However, based on participants' substance use status, participants will be categorized into three groups:

1. Screening group. Patients who screen for no use of cigarettes, alcohol, or other drugs. Patients are re-screened at followup visits.
2. Screening, Brief Intervention group. Patients who screen positive for cigarette, alcohol, or other drug use.
3. Screening, Brief Intervention, and Referral to Treatment group. Patients who screen positive for use and have a positive AUDIT-C and/or positive DAST-10 assessment for problematic alcohol or drug use.

Group Type OTHER

Referral to Treatment

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

Patients receive a referral to treatment for substance abuse, with up to 2 follow-up phone calls. Patients are re-screened at followup visits.

Brief Intervention

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

Patients receive a brief intervention aimed at reducing substance use, and are re-screened at followup visits.
