It’s not just what you do, it’s how you do it: Variation in substance use screening outcomes with commonly used screening approaches in primary care clinics.
Tobacco, alcohol, and drug use are leading causes of preventable death in the U.S. and screening for alcohol and drug use in primary care is recommended. However, such screening has not become part of routine health care, and substance use information is not systematically collected in electronic health records. This presentation describes the objectives, methods, and outcomes of CTN-0062-Ot, a phased feasibility and proof-of-concept study seeking to incorporate addiction-specific screening and assessment common data elements into a widely used EHR.
