About this study

The purpose of this study is to examine the implementation of two evidence-based intervention strategies of SBIRT (Generalist vs. Specialist) for adolescent alcohol, tobacco, other drug use, and HIV risk behaviors.

Read the detailed description

Guided by Proctor's conceptual model of implementation research, the proposed study is a multi-site, cluster randomized trial to compare two principal strategies of SBIRT delivery within adolescent medicine. In the Generalist Strategy, the primary care provider delivers brief intervention (BI) for substance misuse. In the Specialist Strategy, BIs are delivered by behavioral health counselors. The 7 study sites, primary care clinics operated by a large, urban Federally Qualified Health Center in Baltimore, will be randomly assigned to implement SBIRT for adolescents using either the Generalist or Specialist strategies. Staff at each site will be trained in the assigned implementation strategy, and quarterly booster trainings will be provided during the implementation period. Implementation outcomes, including: penetration, costs/cost-effectiveness, acceptability, timeliness, fidelity/adherence, and patient satisfaction will be assessed during the 18-month-long implementation period using a complementary combination of administrative service encounter data, provider and patient surveys, and qualitative interviews. At the end of the active implementation period, all training and technical support activities will cease for 12 months in order to measure relative sustainability. The study will also examine the effectiveness of integrating HIV risk screening within an SBIRT model.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • The brief interventions are delivered by behavioral health counselors (Specialist)Behavioural

    Behavioral Health Specialists perform the brief intervention. The screening and referral to treatment processes remain the same as with the Generalist condition.

  • The brief interventions are delivered by the primary care provider (Generalist)Behavioural

    Primary care providers perform the brief intervention. The screening and referral to treatment processes remain the same as with the Specialist condition.

What is being measured

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

  1. Penetration of BI within the Generalist and Specialist models

    To examine the relative effectiveness of the Generalist condition v. the Specialist condition in terms of penetration of brief intervention (proportion of patients receiving brief intervention [BI] among those for whom a BI is indicated).

    Measured: 12 months

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Referral to Treatment

    To examine the relative effectiveness of the Generalist condition v. the Specialist condition in terms of referral to specialty substance abuse treatment for those adolescents for whom such treatment is indicated.

    Measured: 12 months

  2. Long term penetration of BI within the Generalist and Specialist models

    To examine the long term relative effectiveness of the Generalist condition v. the Specialist condition in terms of penetration of brief intervention (proportion of patients receiving BI among those for whom a BI is indicated).

    Measured: 12 months

  3. HIV sex-risk behavior screening as part of adolescent SBIRT process

    To examine the feasibility and acceptability of integrating HIV risk behavior screening into adolescent primary care as part of an SBIRT program.

    Measured: 12 months

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

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 14 Feb 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

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?

Penetration of BI within the Generalist and Specialist models (time frame: 12 months). 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 NCT01829308, which also lists 2 linked publications.

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?
