This study will examine genetic factors that contribute to the different ways people feel after consuming cannabis. People that use cannabis at least 4 days per week will participate in a study involving 1 in-person visit followed by a 5-day remote assessment period. The in-person visit will determine if an individual is eligible for study participation and their blood will be drawn to assess genetics.

A pragmatic remote approach to improve transitions of care and retention in opioid use disorder treatment: Qualitative Interviews

Keywords

Summary

The primary objective of this proposal is to conduct surveys and qualitative interviews to get feedback from (1) stakeholders and (2) people with lived experience of opioid use and a related medical hospitalization, on the barriers and facilitators of new potential strategy of treatment. The potential proposed intervention we will ask questions about is the direct mailing medications for opioid use disorder (OUD) in an attempt to overcome many of the barriers that interfere with treatment retention (i.e. transportation). Qualitative interviews will be used to get feedback on the feasibility, appropriateness, and acceptability of mailing maintenance medications for OUD after a hospital discharge. In a future study, this feedback will be used to develop a protocol to test this method.

Summary

Quitting smoking is hard, and many Veterans struggle even with current treatments. This study is testing a safe, non-invasive brain stimulation called repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS), which is already FDA-approved to help people stop smoking. We're comparing two types—standard and personalized—to see which works better. We aim to find the best option to help Veterans quit for good.

A Qualitative Investigation of Patient, Family, and Provider Treatment Preferences in PTSD and Alcohol Use Disorder

Date Added

PRO Number

Researcher
Sarah Giff

List of Studies

Keywords

Summary

Co-occurring post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and alcohol use disorder (AUD) disproportionately affects Veterans and has significant negative impacts on the safety, wellbeing, and quality of life of Veterans, their romantic partners, and their families. However, treatments that address co-occurring PTSD-AUD and restore Veterans' psychosocial functioning are lacking. This project is designed to learn more to facilitate improving treatment approaches aimed at reducing symptoms of co-occurring PTSD-AUD and improving functioning among Veterans and their partners. The goal of this project is to learn from Veterans, family members, and treatment providers in order to inform an adaptation of a brief dyadic AUD intervention to be delivered alongside integrated PTSD-AUD treatment for Veteran couples.
