What this research studies
This research aims to enhance the identification and management of substance use disorders (SUD) in rural primary care settings, particularly in the wake of increased SUD cases due to Covid-19. By utilizing a telehealth collaborative care platform called Senyo Health, the project will integrate SUD treatment into existing primary care services, using an evidence-based approach known as Screening, Brief Intervention, and Referral to Treatment (SBIRT). The goal is to improve patient-centered outcomes by providing timely and effective care for individuals struggling with SUD, especially in underserved rural populations.
Who could benefit from this research
Good fit: Ideal candidates for this research are rural primary care patients who are experiencing substance use disorders.
Not a fit: Patients who do not reside in rural areas or who do not have substance use disorders may not benefit from this research.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this research could significantly improve access to effective treatment for substance use disorders in rural communities.
How similar studies have performed: Previous research has shown success in integrating telehealth services for mental health care, suggesting a promising potential for this novel approach to SUD treatment.
