L’objectif

Recovery management checkups (RMC) have established efficacy for linking patients to substance use disorder (SUD) treatment. This study tested whether using RMC in combination with screening, brief intervention, and referral to treatment (SBIRT), versus SBIRT alone, can improve linkage of primary care patients referred to SUD treatment.

Constatations/points à retenir

Recovery management checkups in combination with screening, brief intervention, and referral to treatment are an effective strategy for improving linkage of primary care patients in need to substance use disorder treatment over 3 months.

La conception ou méthodologie de recherche

RCT of SBIRT as usual (n=132) versus SBIRT plus recovery management check-ups for primary care (RMC-PC) (n=134) with follow-up assessments at 3 months post-baseline.
