Can coaching turn rural clinics into One-Stop shops for addiction and infectious disease care?
NCT ID NCT05668780
First seen Sep 14, 2026 · Last updated Sep 15, 2026 · Updated 1 time
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.
