Pragmatic RCT of SBIRT-PM
Completed · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Substance Use Disorders, Pain
In brief
Veterans seeking compensation for musculoskeletal (MSD) conditions often develop chronic pain and are at high risk for substance misuse. The Investigators propose to test the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of Screening, Brief Intervention and Referral to Treatment for Pain Management (SBIRT-PM), designed to reduce pain and reduce risky substance use, in part by helping Veterans get comprehensive pain treatment. The study will involve clinicians at a single site contacting Veterans throughout New England by phone to deliver SBIRT-PM counseling in a pragmatic, randomized, clinical trial.
