The aims of the current study phase (R21) are: Aim 1. Develop a patient decision aid (PtDA-MAT) by incorporating best available scientific evidence on MAT as well as feedback from patients and clinical providers related to clinical priorities, perceived utility, and acceptability; Aim 2. Conduct pilot testing of the PtDA-MAT in an iterative process guided by an expert panel and involving key stakeholders (e.g., patients, physicians, policymakers) and field-testing.
In response to RFA-DA-18-005 (Expanding Medication Assisted Treatment for Opioid Use Disorders in the Context of the SAMHSA Opioid STR Grants, R21/R33), this project will develop and test a patient decision support tool called Patient Decision Aid for Medication-Assisted Treatment (PtDA-MAT) for use in the CA H\&SS. The PtDA-MAT is designed to (1) improve patient knowledge and involvement and to subsequently improve treatment adherence and outcomes and (2) to support clinicians in informing and communicating with their patients with OUD along a continuum of care. The project will conduct 1 year of R21 to develop and pilot-test the PtDA-MAT to facilitate shared decision making in CA H\&SS, followed by 3 years of R33 to assess the effectiveness of the PtDA-MAT in a randomized controlled trial. The aims of the current study phase (R21) are: Aim 1. Develop a patient decision aid (PtDA-MAT) by incorporating best available scientific evidence on MAT as well as feedback from patients and clinical providers related to clinical priorities, perceived utility, and acceptability; Aim 2. Conduct pilot testing of the PtDA-MAT in an iterative process guided by an expert panel and involving key stakeholders (e.g., patients, physicians, policymakers) and field-testing.
