What this study is
Opioid use disorder (OUD) confers a higher risk of acquiring and transmitting infectious diseases, which may have long-term health consequences in Veterans. Treatment of OUD with medication assisted therapy is highly effective, however this often occurs independently of infectious diseases care. This project will test out a new model that combines infectious diseases and OUD care within one VA clinic appointment. This new care model may improve the health of Veterans and reduce cost and time required for Veterans who often need to attend multiple outpatient appointments.
What's being tested
- Integrated care
Intervention · OTHER
Receipt of infectious diseases laboratory testing and/or PrEP for HIV within a single substance use disorder clinic appointment.
