HOPE Trial Summary

This trial will test a new intervention to help address the opioid epidemic by preventing opioid use disorder and overdose.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for English-speaking adults who are not on cancer treatment, have a positive opioid misuse screen, and aren't planning to leave the area soon. Pregnant individuals, those without reliable contact information or phone access, buprenorphine-only users, and anyone with recent psychosis or manic episodes cannot participate.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests the Brief Intervention-Medication Therapy Management (BI-MTM) across pharmacies to see if it helps prevent opioid abuse. It's a randomized trial where some get standard medication counseling while others receive additional patient navigation support.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial focuses on counseling methods rather than medications, traditional side effects like you'd expect from drugs are not applicable here. However, participants may experience emotional discomfort discussing their opioid use.

HOPE Trial Design

2Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Group I: Standard of CareExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Standard of Care is the treatment as usual condition, which follows federal and Utah state pharmacy requirements for pharmacists where in patients filling prescriptions receive information and opt-in counseling. Specifically, SMC in Utah requires pharmacists to: (1) offer counseling, (2) document counseling has been offered, (3) offer a counseling process for patients not present, and (4) discuss generic substitution.The duration of SMC in the current study is a single 5-10 minute session delivered by a University of Utah pharmacist other than the study pharmacist that possesses a similar level of education and professional licensing.
Group II: Brief Intervention Medication Therapy Management (BI-MTM)Experimental Treatment1 Intervention
Brief Intervention Medication Therapy Management (BI-MTM) is the overarching model made up of 4 evidence-based components: Medication Therapy Management (MTM); Screening, Brief Intervention, and Referral to Treatment (SBIRT); naloxone dispensing, and Patient Navigation (PN). Each component is sequentially delivered within the model and addresses a critical aspect of opioid medication misuse and risk. The pharmacy-based portion of BI-MTM (MTM+SBIRT+naloxone) will be delivered by a PharmD level pharmacist, and PN will be delivered by a bachelor's level interventionist.
