An interventional study of Brief intervention using motivational interviewing in Substance-Related Disorders, sponsored by University of Washington. Completed at 1 site in United States. Open to participants aged 18 Years and older, including healthy volunteers. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2014-10-20.
Sponsored by University of Washington · Not applicable, Interventional, and Treatment
This study will examine the effectiveness of a brief intervention in a primary care setting to reduce drug use or abuse compared to enhanced care as usual.
A substantial body of research has established the efficacy and effectiveness of brief interventions (BI) for excessive or "hazardous" alcohol use in patients seen in medical settings. Dissemination projects of brief interventions for alcohol and drugs have recently been implemented on a widespread scale. This rapid progression of brief intervention for drugs other than alcohol has outstripped its evidence base.
The aims of the study as outlined in the grant are:
2,124 studies on the registry are indexed under Substance-Related Disorders; 393 are open to participants now.
This study's enrollment of 868 is above the median of 108 across 1,727 interventional studies indexed under Substance-Related Disorders.

Use of illicit drugs in the past 30 days
Use of illicit drugs in the past 30 days will be measured by self-reported days of use in the past 30 days and validated by urine toxicological screen.
Time frame: baseline, 3, 6, 9, and 12 months
Enrollment in formal substance abuse treatment
Enrollment in formal substance abuse treatment will be measured as an admission to chemical dependency treatment as recorded in the Washington State TARGET database.
Time frame: baseline up to 2 years post-intervention
Medical, legal, employment, social, and psychiatric outcomes
Medical, legal, employment, social, and psychiatric outcomes will be measured by composite scores on the Addiction Severity Index (ASI) Lite.
Time frame: baseline, 3, 6, 9, and 12 months
Public health outcomes
Public health outcomes will be measured by administrative data sources (emergency room visits, hospitalizations, hospital days, HIV risk behavior, arrests, and death).
Time frame: baseline up to 2 years post-intervention
Cost of the intervention
Cost of the intervention will be measured using methods previously employed in the COMBINE study.
Time frame: baseline up to 2 years post-intervention
Incremental cost-effectiveness
Incremental cost-effectiveness will be measured from the payer perspective based on health care service use and drug use frequency.
Time frame: baseline up to 2 years post-intervention
