Official title
A Stepped-Wedge Randomized Controlled Trial Evaluating a Digital Toolkit for IPV
Overview
The study evaluates a web-based digital toolkit designed to screen for intimate partner violence (IPV), post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and related mental health concerns within opioid treatment programs. Providers use the toolkit during routine care with patients receiving treatment for opioid use disorder. The study examines how the toolkit is implemented into clinic workflows and whether its use improves detection, referral, and patient outcomes.
Interventions
- Other Digital Toolkit
The digital toolkit intervention consists of validated tools to screen patients for intimate partner violence and mental health conditions and evidence-based suggestions for personalized treatment plans and/or referrals
Primary outcome measures
- Proportion of patients who receive screening [Time frame: From enrollment until the end of study participation at (up to) 35 months]
- Proportion of patients screened positive for intimate partner violence [Time frame: From enrollment until the end of study participation at (up to) 35 months]
- Proportion of intimate partner violence-positive patients who receive recommended or referred services [Time frame: From enrollment until the end of study participation at (up to) 35 months]
- Proportion of patients retained on MOUD following intimate partner violence and mental health screening [Time frame: From enrollment until the end of study participation at (up to) 35 months]
Secondary outcome measures (3)
- Proportion of providers completing intimate partner violence and mental health screening [Time frame: From enrollment until the end of study participation at (up to) 35 months]
- Proportion of providers providing resources and referrals for patients who screened positive for intimate partner violence [Time frame: From enrollment until the end of study participation at (up to) 35 months]
- Proportion of providers who had patients accept referrals and/or attempted to attend recommended psychosocial services [Time frame: From enrollment until the end of study participation at (up to) 35 months]
