About this study
Official title: The STUN (STop UNhealthy) Alcohol Use Now! Project: Using Practice Facilitation to Disseminate and Implement Patient-Centered Outcomes Research (PCOR) Evidence on Screening and Management of Unhealthy Alcohol Use in Primary Care
STUN Alcohol Use Now is an intervention designed to use primary care practice support services (practice facilitation) to help small to medium-size practices (10 or fewer providers) identify and provide services for people with unhealthy alcohol use. The original recruitment goal was 135 primary care practices in North Carolina, which we were unable to meet due to pandemic-related barriers.
Read the detailed description
STUN Alcohol Use Now is an intervention designed to use primary care practice support services (practice facilitation or PF) to help small to medium-size practices (10 or fewer providers) identify and provide services for people with unhealthy alcohol use. 135 primary care practices in North Carolina will be recruited.
Specific Aim 1 will evaluate the effect of PF on uptake of evidence-based screening and brief intervention (SBI) for unhealthy alcohol use. The investigators hypothesize that PF will increase screening for unhealthy alcohol use and provision of brief counseling. The secondary hypothesis is that practice-level and contextual factors (capacity for quality improvement, organizational readiness to implement change, and implementation climate) will moderate the effect of PF on use of evidence-based screening and brief intervention (SBI) for unhealthy alcohol use.
Specific Aim 2 will evaluate whether PF increases provision, among those identified as having an alcohol use disorder (AUD), provision of medication assisted treatment (MAT) or referral to specialty care.
Aim 3 (effect of providing embedded telehealth services) will not be evaluated due to lower enrollment than anticipated and delayed data collection (both related to the COVID-19 pandemic) which have prevented randomization among practices with slower uptake of SBI after 6 months of PF.
In Aim 4 the investigators will evaluate the effect of PF on the implementation of clinical practice and office systems changes to improve evidence-based SBI and MAT. The primary hypothesis is that PF will increase implementation of clinical practice and office systems changes to improve evidence-based SBI and MAT. The secondary hypotheses are that (a) practice capacity for quality improvement (QI), organizational readiness to implement change, and contextual factors will moderate the effect of PF on the implementation of clinical practice and office systems changes and (b) embedded telehealth services will increase implementation of clinical practice and office systems changes among practices with slower uptake.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Practice FacilitationOther
- Implementing evidence-based protocols and the use of clinical algorithms (for screening, counseling, referral, and MAT) to engage the entire clinical team in a high standard delivery of care.
- Promoting a strong use of decision support tools and templates to support the practice workflow.
- Optimizing the use of the electronic health record (EHR) to pull clinical data on a monthly basis to guide the change process.
- Developing patient registries (e.g., for those identified to have AUD) to identify needed care
- Proactive, team-based care with assigned roles and responsibilities to prepare the clinical team to develop needed care and engage patients throughout the entire visit process.
- Enhancing the understanding of available counseling and referral resources to ensure that practices are confident that they have appropriate evidence-based intervention options.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A study testing Practice Facilitation in people with Risky Health Behavior and Drinking, Alcohol, run by University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill at 7 sites in United States.
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 2 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 17 Jun 2025. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 7 sites in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
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?
Number of adults screened for unhealthy alcohol use (time frame: 18 months). The study lists 6 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT04317989, 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 17 Jun 2025.
