NCT ID NCT06317987
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This pilot study tested whether a 'care navigator' could help people with substance use disorders follow through on treatment plans. The navigator worked alongside usual care coordinators to address barriers like language, income, or location. The study involved 74 patients and focused on whether patients were interested in and consented to this extra help.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
Care navigation (behavioral intervention)
What this could lead to
If successful, this approach could help more people with substance use disorders get the treatment they need by reducing barriers like language, income, or location.
What could go wrong
This is a small pilot study with only 74 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. It tests feasibility, not whether care navigation actually improves health outcomes.
