Does Treating Young Persons Psychopathology Prevent the Onset of Opioid and other Substance Use Disorders? | New Strategies to Prevent and Treat Opioid Addiction | Preventing Opioid Use Disorder | NIDA | Massachussetts General Hospital | WILENS, TIMOTHY E (contact); YULE, AMY | Boston, MA | 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: Despite psychopathology robustly increasing the risk for later substance use disorders (SUD), remarkably few studies have examined the impact of treating psychopathology on reducing rates of opioid use disorder (OUD), nicotine, and SUD. The main aims of this study are to implement a pragmatic set of office-based instrumentation using patient related outcome measures linked to electronic health records (EPIC) for intake and follow-up assessments to evaluate psychopathology, OUD, nicotine use disorder, and other SUDs in young people aged 16-30 years old who are receiving psychopathology treatment as part of routine outpatient clinical care. The study will also examine similar age patients with non-opioid SUD in outpatient SUD treatment settings to examine the impact of treatment in mitigating the development of OUD. Data derived from this study will help inform clinical guidelines and public health policy and provide important secondary outcomes for further work on the prevention of OUD, nicotine use disorder, and other SUDs in relation to early-onset psychopathology. |

Development and Implementation of a Culturally Centered Opioid Prevention Intervention for American Indian/Alaska Native Young Adults in California | New Strategies to Prevent and Treat Opioid Addiction | Preventing Opioid Use Disorder | NIDA | RAND CORPORATION | D'AMICO, ELIZABETH | Santa Monica, CA | 2020 |
NOFO Title: Notice of Special Interest(NOSI): HEAL Initiative: Social Network Analyses to Reduce American Indian and Alaska Native Opioid Use Disorder and Related Risks for Suicide and Mental Health Disorders
NOFO Number: NOT-DA-20-033 Summary: Data from 2015 show that American Indian/Alaska Natives (AI/AN) have the highest rates of diagnosis for opioid use disorders (OUD) and deaths from drug overdose; yet, there are no prevention programs addressing opioid misuse among urban AI/AN young adults that integrate culturally-appropriate strategies with evidence-based treatment. This project proposes to address that gap and help prevent OUD in Older Adolescents and Young Adults (ages 16-30) by developing and implementing a culturally-centered intervention to address opioid misuse among urban AI/AN emerging adults in California. The study will examine outcomes at 3-, 6-, and 12- months, and explore potential mechanisms of change for decreases in opioid and alcohol and other drug use outcomes through mediation analyses, including changes in social networks and cultural connectedness. Results from this study could significantly advance scientific knowledge and clinical practice for AI/AN emerging adults. |

Using SMART Design to Identify an Effective and Cost-Beneficial Approach to Preventing OUD in Justice-Involved Youth | New Strategies to Prevent and Treat Opioid Addiction | Preventing Opioid Use Disorder | NIDA | Seattle Children’s Hospital | AHRENS, KYM R (contact); HAGGERTY, KEVIN P | Seattle, WA | 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: Adolescents and young adults in justice settings (AYAJS) have some of the highest rates of opioid use disorder (OUD), with national rates approaching 20%. Multiple studies have established effectiveness of the Adolescent Community Reinforcement Approach with Assertive Continuing Care (ACRA/ACC) in reducing non-opioid substance use disorder (SUD); however, none have evaluated it as an OUD prevention strategy. SUD is common and costly among AYAJS; thus, ACRA/ACC-based approaches are likely to be effective and cost-beneficial OUD prevention strategies for this group. However, the optimal intensity of an ACRA/ACC-based OUD prevention intervention for AYAJS with and without non-opioid SUD is not known, as these groups are likely to have differing prevention needs. Seattle Children’s Hospital (SCH), University of Washington (UW), and Washington State Juvenile Rehabilitation (WSJR) will collaboratively evaluate ACRA/ACC-based OUD prevention strategies of different intensity levels among SUD and non-SUD youth. |

NOFO Title: Administrative Supplements to Existing NIH Grants and Cooperative Agreements (Parent Admin Supp Clinical Trial Optional)
NOFO Number: PA-18-591 Summary: The Family School Partnership (FSP) and classroom-centered (CC) interventions targeted aggressive-coercive behavior and poor academic achievement as antecedents of the distal outcomes of antisocial behavior, substance abuse/dependence, psychiatric symptoms/disorders, high-risk sexual behavior and successful adaptation to the relevant developmental demands of the educational, work, romantic relationships and family (both family of procreation and origin/orientation) social fields/contexts. The participants of the FSP and CC original prevention trial were a population (n = 798) of urban, predominately African-American young adults, who began first grade in the fall of 1993 in nine elementary schools in predominantly low- to lower-middle-income Baltimore areas. The central purpose of the proposed study is to extend through ages 31-35 an examination of normal and pathogenic development and the impact of these two universal first-grade preventive interventions on the distal targets mentioned above. We will continue to study the role of phenotypic and genetic factors (and their interactions) as well as the impact of the interventions on the development and course of substance use/abuse/dependence, psychiatric symptoms/disorders, antisocial behavior/disorder and high-risk sexual behavior through young adulthood. The knowledge accrued over the course of the proposed assessments should serve to inform the nature, targets and timing of our future preventive intervention efforts. |

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: Evidence suggests that homeless youth have the highest rates of opioid use among youth subgroups in the country (Brands et al., 2005). Resolution of youth homelessness through housing and prevention services, often referred to as “Housing First”, has great potential to reduce the likelihood for the development of an opioid use disorder as well as other problem behaviors associated with living on the streets. However, only 20 percent to 30 percent of homeless youth samples report ever having stayed at a crisis shelter, 9 percent report having ever accessed mental health services, and 15 percent report ever having received treatment for substance use disorder (Ray, 2006), indicating a need to reach and engage youth in services that are feasible and acceptable. The results of this study will provide essential information for researchers and providers on the efficacy of housing plus opioid and related risk prevention services in a randomized controlled trial on opioid use, how moderators affect the response, and mechanisms underlying change. |

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: The emergency department (ED) is an ideal venue to reach and intervene with adolescents and young adults (ages 16-30) at risk for opioid misuse, particularly as young adults may disconnect from primary care when transitioning out of pediatric medicine. This study will evaluate the efficacy of interventions of varying type/intensity to prevent/reduce opioid misuse or opioid use disorder (OUD). The research leverages technology that is appealing to youth to facilitate intervention delivery by health coaches. In this study, adolescents and young adults in the ED screening positive for opioid use or misuse will be randomly assigned to one of four intervention conditions with outcomes measured at 4, 8, and 12 months. Technology-driven, scalable interventions delivered via health coach allow for real-time tailoring to the rapidly changing opioid epidemic, with the potential for a sustainable impact on preventing escalation of opioid misuse among adolescents and young adults. |

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: Juvenile justice (JJ)-involved youth represent a particularly vulnerable population for substance use and substance use disorders (SUDs), because they often experience mental health disorders, dysfunctional family/social relationships, and complex trauma. This study will adapt and test an intervention for preventing initiation and/or escalation of opioid misuse among older JJ-involved youth aging out of JJ (16-18 years), who are transitioning to their communities after a period of detainment in a secure treatment or correctional facility. Trust-Based Relational Intervention® (TBRI®, a relational, attachment-based intervention that promotes emotional regulation through interaction with responsive adults) will be adapted as a prevention intervention targeting youth at risk for substance use, especially non-medical use of opioids. Safe adults (e.g., parent/guardian) will be trained in behavior management techniques for empowering youth to appropriately express their needs, connecting them with others in pro-social ways, and correcting or reshaping undesirable behavior. |

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: The national public health opioid crisis has disproportionately burdened rural white populations and American Indian populations. To address this crisis, the Cherokee Nation and Emory University public health scientists will carry out an opioid prevention trial to be conducted in at-risk rural communities in the Cherokee Nation (in northeast Oklahoma) with populations of white and American Indian adolescents and young adults. The study will expand and integrate two established intervention approaches, consisting of community organizing and universal school-based brief intervention and referral to further enhance their effects in preventing and reducing opioid misuse. These interventions, called CMCA and CONNECT, were originally designed to target adolescent alcohol use, but showed significant beneficial effects on use of other drugs, including prescription drug misuse. The expanded, integrated interventions will be tested in a community-randomized trial with the goal of new systems for sustained implementation within existing structures of the Cherokee Nation. |

NOFO Title: Notice of Special Interest(NOSI): HEAL Initiative: Social Network Analyses to Reduce American Indian and Alaska Native Opioid Use Disorder and Related Risks for Suicide and Mental Health Disorders
NOFO Number: NOT-DA-20-033 Summary: Fatal opioid overdose rates are higher among American Indian/Alaska Native populations than among Hispanics, African Americans, and Asian Americans, and are just below non-Hispanic Whites. AI/AN opioid overdose rates vary significantly by state and county; however, tribe-level differences are difficult to ascertain due to decentralized data systems that divide state health data and Indian Health Service data. This study will conduct a two-phase research project that leverages Center for Disease Control funding awarded to the Albuquerque Area Southwest Tribal Epidemiology Center for improving data quality in opioid overdose surveillance in New Mexico. In the first phase, geocoding and data linkages will be studied to address the need in New Mexico for tribe-specific data and analyses on opioid use disorder and opioid overdose. After disseminating analyses to tribal communities and Indian Health Service, Tribal and Urban Indian health facilities, the second phase of the study will establish a collaboration with interested tribes and facilities in a community-based participatory intervention research project to develop and test a culturally centered implementation program for providing medication for opioid use disorders to American Indian people. |

NOFO Title: Mechanism for Time-Sensitive Drug Abuse Research (R21 Clinical Trial Optional)
NOFO Number: PAR-19-064 Summary: In 2018, new opiate prescribing limits (SB 273) were implemented across West Virginia to combat the opiate misuse epidemic. This study will utilize quantitative and qualitative measures to determine the effect of the recent opiate prescription laws in West Virginia, how a change in policy affects the opiate misuse epidemic, and how communities may apply this knowledge more broadly. The research team will: 1) collaborate with the West Virginia Board of Pharmacy to ascertain changes in opiate prescribing habits before and after the start of SB 273 using an interrupted time series methodology, and 2) achieve broad and deep understanding of how SB 273 has affected prescribing practices and experiences amongst primary care physicians, specialists (pan physicians, surgeons, emergency room physicians, etc.), and patients who currently or previously utilized opiate medications. |

Technology-driven, scalable interventions delivered via health coach allow for real-time tailoring to the rapidly changing opioid epidemic, with the potential for a sustainable impact on preventing escalation of opioid misuse among adolescents and young adults. While we know that Black/African American youth are at increased risk for opioid and other substance use, they often do not participate in research studies. As a result, we do not know how well prevention interventions work with Black/African American individuals. This supplement will focus on increasing participant diversity and inclusion by recruiting additional Black/African American participants for this ongoing randomized controlled trial to study technology-driven prevention interventions. |

NOFO Title: Public Policy Effects on Alcohol-, Marijuana-, and Other Substance-Related Behaviors and Outcomes (R01)
NOFO Number: PA-17-135 Summary: As states make unprecedented changes to prescription opioid (PO) policies and cannabis laws, the independent and synergistic contributions that both types of measures have on opioid-prescribing practices and opioid overdoses, with and without benzodiazepines (BZDs), are not known. This study will pursue this aim in the U.S. population and Medicaid patients with chronic pain, aiming to: (1) examine whether nonmedical use of POs, BZDs, and heroin and opioid- and BZD-use disorders decreased following enactment of more restrictive PO policies and less restrictive cannabis laws in 2004–2019; and (2) test whether Medicaid patients are less likely to have claims for opioid prescribing, clinic visits for chronic pain, and opioid overdoses following enactment of more restrictive PO policies and less restrictive cannabis laws in 2001–2019. This study will provide findings about the types of policies that are most likely to end the opioid epidemic. |

NOFO Title: Notice of Special Interest(NOSI): HEAL Initiative: Social Network Analyses to Reduce American Indian and Alaska Native Opioid Use Disorder and Related Risks for Suicide and Mental Health Disorders
NOFO Number: NOT-DA-20-033 Summary: American Indian and Alaska Native (AI/AN) youth and young adults experience disproportionately high rates of suicide, mental health disorders, traumatic life events, and substance use disorder. More effective, culturally informed interventions are needed that are tailored to the specific needs of this population. This supplement will examine how a person?s social network contributes to their behavioral health (suicide risk, mental health, substance use) status and how this network can be leveraged to improve the uptake of prevention interventions. The long-term goal is to disseminate and translate the lessons learned into practical policy, organizational changes, and preventive innovations that optimize patient-centered health outcomes and ultimately reduce or eliminate the dramatic and tragic suicide-related health disparities among urban AI/AN YYAs. |
