Details and patient eligibility

About

The proposed study will compare three alternative interventions in the emergency department (ED) to promote linkage to substance abuse assessment, referral and treatment entry for those who meet abuse/dependence criteria for stimulants, cannabis, and/or non-injected opioids: (1) a 5-session Strengths-Based Case Management (SBCM) model; (2) a 2-session Brief Motivational Enhancement (BME); or (3) a one-time Brief Informational Feedback (BIF) session. The primary outcome variables for this trial include receiving an assessment and referral and treatment entry. Other outcomes include degree of treatment completion, substance-related measures, health service utilization, health status changes, and psychosocial factors.

755 participants in 3 patient groups

Strengths Based Case Management Model (SBCM)
Active Comparator group
Description:
The Strengths Based Case Management Model (SBCM) consists of 5 case-management sessions designed to promote linkage and engagement in assessment and treatment services, while assisting with the patient's perceived needs, as well as personal strengths and barriers to linkage and engagement.
Treatment:
Behavioral: Strengths Based Case Management (SBCM)
Motivational Enhancement Therapy (MET)
Active Comparator group
Description:
The MET therapist will conduct 2 motivational enhancement sessions to work through the content of an educational workbook targeting the participant's substance use/abuse with the goal of negotiating a 'contract' to: 1) link to services, with the eventual goal of seeking and receiving specialized substance treatment; or 2) provide a strategy to self-monitor substance use, consider consequences, and later seek assessment.
Treatment:
Behavioral: Motivational Enhancement Therapy (MET)
Brief Informational Feedback (BIF) session
Active Comparator group
Description:
Subjects will receive brief informational feedback on the results of their alcohol screening and assessment and encouragement to seek treatment.
Treatment:
Behavioral: Brief Informational Feedback (BIF) session
