In June, the CTN-0100 Project Team launched a month-long BINGO challenge aimed at boosting recruitment and retention across the 18 study sites. BINGO squares included hitting (or exceeding!) randomization targets for the month, reuniting with a missing participant, completing two randomizations in one day, and establishing a relationship with a new referring partner. The Operation PAR site (pictured) from the Florida Node Alliance was the first site to “BINGO,” just 6 days into the challenge! Five additional sites achieved “BINGO” by the end of the month. We thank all of the CTN-0100 sites for their continued diligence on this project! Check out the BINGO sheet used for this challenge here! Posted July 26, 2023

March 15, 2023 CTN-0139, the Collaborative Care for Polysubstance use in Primary Care Settings (Co-Care) Trial, is studying a collaborative care intervention for polysubstance use involving opioids and/or stimulants, in adult primary care patients. Collaborative care is a team-based approach to managing chronic conditions that has been effective for depression and other behavioral health conditions, and has the potential to transform the delivery of substance use treatment in primary care settings. This HEAL-funded CTN trial will test the Co-Care model versus enhanced usual care to reduce substance use and improve substance use-related functioning.  The study will be conducted at 5 primary care sites (FQHCs and FQHC look-alikes).  A pilot study will launch in February 2024 at one site, and the main study will start in August 2024 at all sites. The Lead Team is currently conducting site selection activities and will be scheduling interviews in the coming weeks. If you have clinics who may be interested in participating, please contact Jasmine Fernando Jasmine.Fernando@nyulangone.org. The Lead Investigator is Jennifer McNeely, MD, MS from the NY Node, and Co-Lead Investigator is Jane Liebschutz, MD, MPH from the Appalachian Node. For more information, contact the Project Director, Rebecca Stone Rebecca.Stone@nyulangone.org.

December 8, 2022 In November, the CTN-0100 Project Team launched a month-long BINGO challenge aimed at boosting recruitment across the 18 study sites. BINGO squares included hitting (or exceeding!) randomization targets for the month, reuniting with a missing participant, and completing internal QA. The Adapt site from the Western States Node and the SSTAR site from the New England Consortium Node were the first sites to “BINGO”, just 16 days into the challenge (see photos of the winning team below)! 7 additional sites achieved “BINGO” by the end of the month. We thank all of the CTN-0100 sites for their continued diligence on this project. Check out the BINGO sheet here!
