CENTER OF EXCELLENCE FOR MOBILE SENSOR DATA-TO-KNOWLEDGE (MD2K) - OVERALL New Strategies to Prevent and Treat Opioid Addiction NIBIB University of Memphis KUMAR, SANTOSH MEMPHIS, TN 2018
NOFO Title: Administrative Supplements to Existing NIH Grants and Cooperative Agreements (Parent Admin Supp Clinical Trial Optional)
NOFO Number: PA-18-591
Summary:

Rapid technological advances are leading to field-deployable mobile sensing devices that can quantify complex dynamics of key physical, biological, behavioral, social, and environmental factors, enabling us to understand causation in complex disorders. Significant new investment is needed to develop and disseminate data analytics tools. The Center of Excellence for Mobile Sensor Data-to-Knowledge (MD2K) will generate generalizable theory, methods, tools, and software to address major barriers to processing complex mobile sensor data and its use in biomedical knowledge discovery and just-in-time care delivery. We will develop and implement a standards-based, interoperable, extensible, and open-source big data software platform for efficient implementation of MD2K data analytics. MD2K will demonstrate the feasibility, utility, and generalizability of this approach by implementing the entire MD2K data analytics system in the context of two biomedical applications: reducing relapse among abstinent daily smokers and reducing readmission among congestive heart failure patients

Preventing Parental Opioid and/or Methamphetamine Addiction within DHS-Involved Families: FAIR New Strategies to Prevent and Treat Opioid Addiction Preventing Opioid Use Disorder NIDA Oregon Social Learning Center, INC. Saldana, Lisa Eugene, OR 2019
NOFO Title: HEAL Initiative: Preventing Opioid Use Disorder in Older Adolescents and Young Adults (ages 16–30) (UG3/UH3 Clinical Trial Required
NOFO Number: RFA-DA-19-035
Summary:

Many states across the country have experienced an increase in children involved in the foster care system because of young parental opioid and methamphetamine use disorders (OUD; MUD). The Families Actively Improving Relationships (FAIR) program is a recently developed, rigorously evaluated, intensive outpatient treatment program for parents involved in the child welfare system for parental OUD and/or MUD. The FAIR effectiveness trial showed the potential for FAIR to be adapted as a prevention program, and to be implemented in counties with low service availability and access. This project will adapt and implement FAIR for prevention in collaboration with Oregon State Department of Human Services (DHS). Across two counties, parents referred by DHS for OUD or MUD with risk for escalation will be recruited and randomized to receive the adapted FAIR as prevention, or standard case management and referral. Outcomes will inform further FAIR refinement and potential broader scale-up.

Brief Individual and Parent Interventions for Marijuana Misuse in Truant Adolescents New Strategies to Prevent and Treat Opioid Addiction Preventing Opioid Use Disorder NIDA Brown University SPIRITO, ANTHONY Providence, RI 2019
NOFO Title: Administrative Supplements to Existing NIH Grants and Cooperative Agreements (Parent Admin Supp Clinical Trial Optional)
NOFO Number: PA-18-591
Summary:

Four out of five youth in the juvenile justice (JJ) system show evidence of being under the influence during their offenses, and more than half test positive for substances at the time of their arrest. Preventive intervention approaches that can be easily implemented within JJ settings may offer greater access to substance use care as well as increase families’ motivation to comply with court referrals to seek further services. It is especially important to evaluate interventions for court-involved, non-incarcerated (CINI) juveniles, as these youth account for two-thirds of those arrested; however, the bulk of extant research has been conducted with detained or incarcerated youth. In this application for supplemental funding, we capitalize on our parent grant (Brief Individual and Parent Interventions for Marijuana Misuse in Truant Adolescents) by proposing to develop an adjunctive, targeted preventive intervention for marijuana-using, JJ youth who are at elevated risk for illicit opioid use. The goal will be to develop a protocol for a single-session, parent-adolescent preventive intervention to decrease the likelihood of illicit opioid use in CINI adolescents. This formative work will culminate in a draft intervention manual.

A digital intervention to prevent the initiation of opioid misuse in adolescents in school-based health centers New Strategies to Prevent and Treat Opioid Addiction Preventing Opioid Use Disorder NIDA Yale University Fiellin, Lynn E. New Haven, CT 2019
NOFO Title: HEAL Initiative: Preventing Opioid Use Disorder in Older Adolescents and Young Adults (ages 16–30) (UG3/UH3 Clinical Trial Required
NOFO Number: RFA-DA-19-035
Summary:

Most opioid misuse begins during adolescence and young adulthood. Adolescence is the best time for prevention interventions in settings like school-based health centers (HCs), yet few programs focus on preventing initiation of opioid misuse. This study harnesses the power of video game interventions and incorporates components of effective substance use prevention programs to develop an evidence-informed intervention to prevent the initiation of opioid misuse in adolescents. In partnership with the national School-Based Health Alliance (SBHA), researchers will develop and test a new video game intervention, PlaySmart. It will build on our previous video game intervention that has demonstrated efficacy in improving attitudes and knowledge related to risk behaviors. The study will evaluate the game in a randomized controlled trial (RCT) in 10 school-based HCs and examine strategies for implementing PlaySmart in school-based HCs nationally. This research has considerable potential for wide implementation, reach, and impact on high-risk adolescents through school-based HCs.

MINDFUL MOMS IN RECOVERY: YOGA-BASED MINDFULNESS RELAPSE PREVENTION FOR PREGNANT WOMEN WITH OPIOID DISORDER New Strategies to Prevent and Treat Opioid Addiction Behavioral Research to Improve Medication-Based Treatment NCCIH Dartmouth College LORD, SARAH E; GOODMAN, DAISY J Hanover, NH 2018
NOFO Title: Clinical Trials or Observational Studies of Behavioral Interventions for Prevention of Opioid Use Disorder or Adjunct to Medication Assisted Treatment-SAMHSA Opioid STR Grants (R21/R33)
NOFO Number: RFA-AT-18-002
Summary:

New Hampshire can anticipate as many as 1,000 infants born with prenatal opioid exposure each year. Pain management is complicated for pregnant women with opioid use disorder (OUD), and undermanagement of pain is a strong risk factor for relapse. Contemplative interventions, such as yoga and mindfulness, may reduce risks for relapse for pregnant and parenting women with OUD. This project represents a partnership with New Hampshire stakeholders to develop and pilot evaluation of a trauma-informed yoga and mindfulness relapse prevention intervention (Mindful Moms in Recovery: MMORE). It aims to: 1) identify needs and areas of adaptation of trauma-informed yoga and mindfulness-based relapse prevention protocols through formative work with pregnant and parenting woman; 2) develop an integrated 10-session intervention protocol with iterative feedback from client stakeholders; and 3) evaluate feasibility, acceptability, and efficacy trends of MMORE in a pre-post pilot with pregnant women.

NATIVE TRANSFORMATIONS OPIATE PROJECT New Strategies to Prevent and Treat Opioid Addiction NIGMS Northwest Indian College RASMUS, STACY M; CALDWELL, SHEILA BELLINGHAM, WA 2018
NOFO Title: Administrative Supplements to Existing NIH Grants and Cooperative Agreements (Parent Admin Supp Clinical Trial Optional)
NOFO Number: PA-18-591
Summary:

Abuse of opioids constitutes a national public health crisis. Data from the Lummi Nation show that for the 18 Tribal member deaths occurring in the first seven months of 2016, five were opioid related, with the average age of the deceased being 29 years. The proposed Native Transformations Opioid Project (NTOP) seeks to develop research capacity at Northwest Indian College and its surrounding tribal communities to develop effective and culturally congruent strategies to reduce the burden of death from opioid and other drug-related overdoses in tribal communities in the Pacific Northwest. The primary aim of the proposed project is to identify the strengths and behavioral strategies in successful recovery from OUD in three Coast Salish communities. The ultimate goal of the proposed research is to identify Coast Salish recovery factors from OUD to develop a data-driven, culturally congruent intervention to reduce OUD and OUD overdose deaths.

Effects of experimental sleep disruption and fragmentation on cerebral Mu-opioid receptor function, Mu-opioid receptor agonist analgesia, and abuse liability. New Strategies to Prevent and Treat Opioid Addiction Sleep Dysfunction as a Core Feature of Opioid Use Disorder and Recovery NHLBI Johns Hopkins University Smith, Michael T Baltimore, MD 2019
NOFO Title: HEAL Initiative: Sleep and Circadian-Dependent Mechanisms Contributing to Opiate Use Disorder (OUD) and Response to Medication Assisted Treatment (MAT) (U01 Clinical Trial Optional)
NOFO Number: RFA-HL-19-029
Summary:

Chronic pain and opioid use disorders (OUD) are burgeoning interrelated epidemics. Sleep disturbances are prevalent, treatable, and increasingly recognized as risk factors for both chronic pain and OUD. Sleep disruption impairs endogenous pain inhibition, linked to analgesic efficacy and rewarding properties of mu-opioid receptor (MOR) agonists. It is not known, however, whether sleep disturbance causally alters mechanisms that contribute to OUD risk. Sleep continuity disruption (SCD) and/or sleep fragmentation (SF) may alter cerebral MOR availability, and these forms of sleep disruption may increase OUD risk. This study aims to 1) evaluate whether experimental SCD and/or SF alter resting or pain-evoked MOR binding potential (BP) in brain regions associated with pain inhibition; 2) examine whether SCD and/or SF alters the analgesic response; and 3) determine whether MOR BP in brain regions of interest are associated with analgesia and abuse liability.
