Improving Access to Opioid Use Disorder Treatment Among Marginalized Patients With a Tailored Telehealth Intervention
Sponsor: University of Pennsylvania
Summary
The goal of this pilot trial is to develop and test a telehealth intervention for OUD care delivery and refine measurement strategies. The specific aims are to: 1) identify components of an effective telehealth intervention and barriers to implementation, 2) partner with an advisory board of OUD treatment stakeholders from different settings to develop a telehealth intervention for OUD treatment with buprenorphine, and 3) conduct a pilot trial of the telehealth intervention for OUD treatment. The investigators will enroll 60 patients, 30 individuals who are currently enrolled in in-person OUD treatment with buprenorphine, with a treatment episode duration of 1-3 months, and 30 individuals who are not currently receiving OUD treatment but approved for treatment intake at buprenorphine clinic by an OUD treatment clinician, to receive the telehealth for OUD care delivery intervention. The investigators will measure clinical, implementation, and patient satisfaction outcomes.
