Study Summary

This trial will test if a new intervention can help reduce opioid use and prevent progression to addiction in adults who use opioids.

Who is the study for?
The STOP trial is for adults with unhealthy opioid use who are at risk of developing Opioid Use Disorder (OUD). Participants must be patients of a licensed medical professional enrolled in the study, have risky opioid use, and access to phone and internet. They should not have moderate-severe OUD, recent MOUD treatment, or other conditions that could interfere with the study.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
This trial tests a primary care intervention called STOP versus enhanced usual care to prevent progression to OUD. It involves PCP brief advice, video doctor consultations, telephone health coaching, and Nurse Care Manager interventions in a cluster-randomized design across five sites.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
As this is a behavioral intervention involving advice and coaching rather than medication or invasive procedures, significant physical side effects are not expected. However, participants may experience stress or emotional discomfort related to discussions about their opioid use.

Trial Design

2Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Active Control
Group I: Subthreshold Opioid Use Disorder Prevention(STOP) InterventionExperimental Treatment4 Interventions
At baseline, patient participants in the STOP arm will receive the intervention components of brief advice from their PCP and a video doctor , printed educational materials, interaction with the NCM, and telephone health coaching. Brief advice will be delivered by the patient participant's PCP as part of the medical visit or via phone call. Before the encounter with the patient participant, PCPs will receive a brief printed summary report from the research staff. During the baseline visit, patient participants also meet with the research staff to view a video on tablet or desktop computer that reinforces the PCP's counseling.
Group II: Enhanced Usual Care (EUC)Active Control1 Intervention
PCPs will conduct primary care as usual, without the support of the NCM. At the baseline visit, patient participants receive an educational pamphlet and view a short video on overdose and cancer screening. The pamphlet includes information about preventing opioid-related overdose, including how to obtain a naloxone kit. The video content will feature the health benefits of exercise. It will be viewed on a tablet or desktop computer and will be approximately 2 minutes long. All EUC patient participants receive the same video, which is not tailored to the responses given on their questionnaires. There is no study intervention after the baseline visit.
