Objective-The present research examined the relation of psychiatric disorders to tobacco dependence and cessation outcomes.Method-Data were collected from 1504 smokers (58.2% women, 83.9% white, 44.67 [SD = 11.08] years old) making an aided smoking attempt as part a clinical trial.Psychiatric diagnoses determined using Composite International Diagnostic Interview (CIDI) structured interview.Tobacco was assessed Fagerstrom Test Nicotine Dependence (FTND) Wisconsin Inventory Smoking Motives...
Internet interventions for smoking cessation are ubiquitous. Yet, to date, there few randomized clinical trials that gauge their efficacy. This study is a trial (N= 284, n= 140 in the treatment group, 144 control group) of an intervention. Smokers were randomly assigned receive either bupropion plus counseling alone, or and addition 12 weeks access Comprehensive Health Enhancement Support System Smoking Cessation Relapse Prevention (CHESS SCRP; Web site which provided information on as well...
The study sought to determine whether interoperable, electronic health record-based referral (eReferral) produces higher rates of and connection a state tobacco quitline than does fax-based referral, thus addressing low smoking treatment delivery in care.Twenty-three primary care clinics from 2 healthcare systems (A B) Wisconsin were randomized, unblinded, over 2016-2017, methods: paper-based fax-to-quit (system A =6, system B = 6) or (eReferral; 5, 6). Both methods referred adult patients...
Buprenorphine is under-utilized in treating opioid addiction. Payers and providers both have substantial influence over the adoption use of this medication to enhance recovery. Their views could provide insights into barriers facilitators buprenorphine adoption.We conducted individual interviews with 18 Ohio county Alcohol, Drug Addiction, Mental Health Services (ADAMHS) Boards (payers) 36 addiction treatment centers (providers) examine use. Transcripts were reviewed, coded, qualitatively...
Patients who use tobacco are too rarely connected with treatment during healthcare visits. Electronic health record enhancements may increase such referrals in primary care settings. This project used the Reach, Effectiveness, Adoption, Implementation, and Maintenance framework to assess implementation of a system change carried out an externally valid manner (executed by system).
Buprenorphine partial opioid agonist pharmacotherapy, a key treatment for use disorders (OUDs), is underutilized in the United States. Qualitative interviews, conducted 2012/2013 and repeated 2015, identified systemic barriers to providing buprenorphine Ohio. A representative sample of Ohio's Alcohol, Drug Abuse Mental Health Services (ADAMHS) county boards (
Improving the extent to which evidence-based practices (EBPs)-treatments that have been empirically shown be efficacious or effective-are integrated within routine practice is a well-documented challenge across numerous areas of health. In 2014, National Institute on Drug Abuse funded type 2 effectiveness-implementation hybrid trial titled substance abuse treatment HIV Care (SAT2HIV) Project. Aim 1 SAT2HIV Project tests effectiveness motivational interviewing-based brief intervention (MIBI)...
Buprenorphine Prescribing Availability in a Sample of Ohio Specialty Treatment Organizations Buprenorphine, medication for treating opioid dependence, is underutilized specialty addiction treatment organizations. Only physicians who have obtained buprenorphine prescribing license or “waiver” may administer this medication. A limited number are pursuing waiver, and concern the substance use disorder field that shortage prescribers could be contributing to low at centers. The objective study...
Abstract Background Health system change can increase the reach of evidence-based smoking cessation treatments. Proactive electronic health record (EHR)-enabled, closed-loop referral (“eReferral”) to state tobacco quitlines increases rates at which patients who smoke accept treatment. Implementing such poses many challenges, however, and adaptations contexts are often required, but understudied. This retrospective case study identified eReferral EHR tools implementation strategies in two...
Background: Although people who smoke cigarettes are overrepresented among hospital inpatients, few connected with smoking cessation treatment during their hospitalization. Training, accountability for medication use, and monitoring of all patients position pharmacists well to deliver interventions hospitalized smoke. Methods: A large Midwestern University implemented a pharmacist-led intervention. delegation protocol pharmacy inpatients smoked gave the authority order nicotine replacement...

County, State, and Federal agencies are addressing the public health opioid crisis. Ohio's 51 county-based Alcohol, Drug Addiction Mental Health Services (ADAMHS) Boards finance regulate treatment services within their jurisdictions. This three-year comparative trial collaborated with ADAMHS (n = 14) to test Advancing Recovery Framework, a suite of organizational system change strategies designed promote use buprenorphine for agonist therapy.A multi-level intervention directed payers...
Abstract Purpose Hospitalization affords an opportunity to reduce smoking, but fewer than half of patients who smoke receive evidence-based cessation treatment during inpatient stays. This study evaluated a pharmacist-led, electronic health record (EHR)–facilitated opt-out smoking intervention designed address this need. Methods Analyses EHR records for adult smoked in the past 30 days admitted academic medical center upper Midwest were conducted using Reach Effectiveness Adoption...

In 2017, the National Cancer Institute (NCI) funded Center Cessation Initiative (C3I) to implement and expand tobacco treatment programs in routine oncology care. Many C3I developed specialty care staffed by specialists (TTSs) deliver evidence-based adult patients who smoke. People involved can help identify implementation strategies adaptations that may enhance reach effectiveness cancer more with quit using tobacco.
