ClinConnect Summary

The clinical trial titled "ED Observation for Opioid Use Disorder" is exploring how different ways of providing care can help people struggling with opioid use disorder (OUD) when they visit the emergency department (ED). Specifically, the trial compares a standard ED visit with an extended visit that involves extra support and observation. This study is taking place at several hospitals in New York and is currently looking for participants.

To be eligible for this trial, you need to be at least 18 years old, able to communicate in English, and have a history of using opioids without a prescription. You also shouldn’t be receiving any formal treatment for opioid use disorder at the time of your visit. If you decide to participate, you will be randomly assigned to either the standard or the enhanced care option, and you'll need to agree to follow up assessments at certain points after your visit. This study aims to find out which approach works better for helping patients with opioid use disorder, so your participation could contribute to improving future care for others in similar situations.
