Development, Validity, and Acceptability of the Peer Recovery Coach (PRC) Service Checklist for Medication for Opioid Use Disorder (Moud) Support
Objectives Peer recovery support services (PRSS) may enhance medication initiation and treatment outcomes for individuals with Opioid Use Disorder (OUD). However, variability in operationalizing these services complicates systematic evaluation of PRSS interventions. Moreover, patient needs and service availability may vary in rural and urban regions. This study sought to develop a tool to guide peer recovery coaches (PRCs) in supporting treatment…
Predicting mobile health clinic utilization for Covid-19 vaccination in South Carolina
Mobile health clinics (MHCs) are effective tools for providing health services to disadvantaged populations, especially during health emergencies. However, patient utilization of MHC services varies substantially. Strategies to increase utilization are needed to maximize the effectiveness of MHC services by serving more patients in need. The purpose of this study is to develop a statistical framework to identify and prioritize high-risk communiti…
Wrangling Real-World Data
Data-driven approaches to clinical research are necessary for understanding and effectively treating infectious diseases. However, challenges such as issues with data validity, lack of collaboration, and difficult-to-treat infectious diseases (e.g., those that are rare or newly emerging) hinder research. Prioritizing innovative methods to facilitate the continued use of data generated during routine clinical care for research, but in an organized…
Association between Initial Opioid Prescription and Patient Pain with Continued Opioid Use among Opioid-Naïve Patients Undergoing Elective Surgery in a Large American Health System
There is growing concern about the over-prescription of opioids and the risks of long-term use. This study examined the relationship between initial need (pre-operative, post-operative, and discharge pain) and dosage of opioids in the first prescription after surgery with continued opioid use through opioid refills over 12 months, while considering patient-level characteristics. A total of 9262 opioid-naïve patients underwent elective surgery, 72…
