What this research studies
This project aims to make sure that digital treatments, like apps and websites, for substance use disorders (SUDs) are available and fair for everyone in primary care settings. We know that these digital tools can help many people by making care more accessible and private, but they might also create new challenges for some. Our team is working with healthcare partners to find the best ways to offer these digital treatments to diverse patient groups. We want to understand how to successfully bring these tools into everyday healthcare and ensure they truly benefit all patients.
Who could benefit from this research
Good fit: Ideal candidates for this research would be primary care patients with substance use disorders, particularly those from disadvantaged populations who may face challenges accessing traditional care.
Not a fit: Patients who do not have substance use disorders or are not seeking treatment in primary care settings would not directly benefit from this particular implementation strategy.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this work could make effective digital treatments for substance use disorders more widely available and equitable for patients in primary care, reducing barriers to care.
How similar studies have performed: While many digital treatments for SUDs have shown effectiveness, this project focuses on rigorously evaluating implementation strategies to improve equity in their delivery, building on prior findings about sustaining practices.
