Summary

Researchers are testing a coaching program to help primary care clinics in rural West Virginia screen and treat opioid use disorder, HIV, and hepatitis C. The program includes group priority-setting, rapid-cycle improvement coaching, and provider training. Twenty clinics will take part in four groups of five, with the goal of seeing whether this approach improves screening, treatment, and patient health outcomes.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
NIATx coaching, a behavioral intervention that helps clinics improve their screening and treatment processes
What this could lead to
If it works, this could give rural clinics a practical way to find and treat opioid use disorder, HIV, and hepatitis C earlier, reaching patients who might otherwise go without care.
What could go wrong
The study is small and focuses on clinics in one state, so the results may not apply elsewhere. Clinics might struggle to adopt new screening and treatment routines, and patients may not follow through with care.
