Integration of Drug Abuse Prevention and Treatment in Primary Care Settings (R01)

archived

Efforts to prevent, detect, and treat drug abuse and addiction and its consequences can be improved by integrating existing evidence-based approaches into primary care settings. NIDA solicits translation and implementation research project applications to identify the most effective strategies and service delivery models for accomplishing this goal. Applicants should propose hypothesis-driven studies to achieve the integration of substance abuse prevention interventions and/or treatment services in public or private-sector settings where patients receive primary care services including office-based practice settings, family practice, pediatric and adolescent medicine, obstetrics, general practice, and emergency departments.
