Evaluation of Web-Based Recovery Monitoring With Clinical Alerts

Completed · Phase 1/Phase 2

Conditions studied: Substance Abuse

In brief

The specific aims of the project are to conduct a three-phase study to develop a data-driven Clinical Alert feature to the RecoveryTrack™ Concurrent Recovery Monitoring (CRM) system and test its efficacy, as follows: Phase I - Analyze RecoveryTrack and outcomes data to create a clinical algorithm that predicts early treatment attrition; adapt elements of a cognitive behavioral intervention (CBI) for use in addressing Clinical Alerts, as well as adapting training and adherence measures; reprogram RecoveryTrack with a Clinical Alert feature for each of the first three monitoring assessments to inform counselors when a client is at High Risk to leave treatment. Phase II -Conduct a feasibility trial to refine Clinical Alerts + CBI intervention and the study measures/procedures. Phase III - Conduct a pilot randomized clinical trial comparing outcomes of clients whose counselors were randomized to Clinical Alerts + CBI to those of clients whose counselors were assigned to TAU (control condition). The primary hypothesis is that clients who evidence a High Risk for attrition will have longer lengths of stay in the Clinical Alerts + CBI condition than High Risk clients in the control condition. Secondary client hypotheses are that High Risk clients in the Clinical Alert + CBI condition will attend more treatment sessions, have more drug-free urine results, and receive more ancillary services than High Risk clients in the control condition.
