Integration of substance use screening into primary care and electronic health records: CTN-0059 and CTN-0062.
Tobacco, alcohol, and drug use are leading causes of preventable death in the U.S., but screening for alcohol and drug use is not part of routine health care and substance use information is not systematically collected in electronic health records.
This presentation described two protocols in the CTN that aimed to address this issue: CTN-0059, in which the TAPS Tool for screening and brief assessment was developed and validated, and CTN-0062, a feasibility and proof-of-concept study to assess incorporating the NIDA CTN Common Data Elements into electronic health records in large primary care settings.
