New alert system aims to boost opioid addiction treatment
NCT ID NCT06526286
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether a computer alert can help doctors identify and treat patients with opioid use disorder. About 200,000 adults will be involved, and doctors will either get an alert or not. The goal is to see if the alert increases the use of medications like buprenorphine to treat opioid addiction.
