About this study

The goal of this study is to see whether or not a strategic planning process is able to introduce and sustain improvements in the working relationship between probation/parole departments and community-based addiction treatment agencies that provide medication assisted therapy (MAT) for individuals with opioid or alcohol dependence. In addition, this study seeks to improve probation/parole agency personnel's knowledge and perceptions about MAT, and increase the number of appropriate referrals to community treatment agencies that provide MAT. There are three phases to this study. Phase 1 includes a pilot study to determine the quality and availability of client level records and the collection of baseline data (the pilot study protocol was previously submitted to TMH IRB). Phase 2 will consist of a Knowledge, Perceptions and Information (KPI) intervention during which probation/parole agencies will undergo training to increase knowledge about the effectiveness of MAT, and complete a post training assessment to evaluate the effectiveness of the KPI intervention. During Phase 3, probation/parole agencies will be randomly assigned to a 12-month Organizational Linkage Intervention (OLI) condition or to control (no further intervention). Agencies assigned to the OLI will establish a Pharmacotherapy Exchange Council (PEC) that consists of staff from both the probation/parole and community treatment agencies. The PEC will undergo a strategic planning process to increase the availability of MAT for opiate and/or alcohol dependent individuals who are on probation/parole.

Receives: Other: KPI training only
KPI plus OLIExperimentalStudy sites randomized to this arm will receive the KPI training plus a Organizational Linkage Intervention (OLI) that will: (a) establish a local Pharmacotherapy Exchange Council (PEC) among agencies important for the implementation of MAT in community corrections; (b) facilitate a strategic planning process within the PEC to increase the availability of MAT for opiate and/or alcohol dependent individuals who are on probation/parole; and (c) identify a community corrections coordinator in one of the local agencies to operationalize and implement the strategic plan.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Opinions About MAT

    Measures knowledge, perceptions, and intentions regarding the use of pharmacotherapy for the treatment of opioid and alcohol dependence. Will be assessed at baseline, post-training, post intervention, and 6-month follow-up.

    Measured: 6-month follow-up

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Interorganizational Relationships

    Will be assessed at baseline, and post intervention (6-month follow-up).

    Measured: 6-month follow-up

  2. Referrals to Medication Assisted Treatment (MAT)

    Estimated numbers of alcohol- and opiate-dependent offenders on Probation/Parole

    Measured: 6-Month Follow-up

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing KPI training only and KPI plus OLI in people with Opioid-Related Disorders and Alcohol-Related Disorders, run by Rhode Island Hospital.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 30 Oct 2014. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Opinions About MAT (time frame: 6-month follow-up). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01344122, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 30 Oct 2014.
