Summary

This study is a randomized controlled trial across 14 community pharmacies to test the efficacy of the Brief Intervention-Medication Therapy Management intervention (BI-MTM). The establishment of the BI-MTM model will result in a major impact for addressing the opioid epidemic, preventing opioid use disorder and overdose, and safeguarding patient health in a novel community-based service setting.

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Patient Navigation

PN involves 8 weekly telephonic sessions lasting 30-45 minutes (telephonic to support lower-costs/sustainability). In session 1, the navigator reviews with the participant a report of scores from the baseline assessment to understand the participant's current health needs/challenges; session 1 also involves development of therapeutic alliance/rapport and goal setting. Sessions 2-4 focus on goal setting and identifying barriers and problem resolutions. The navigator elicits motivation and discusses this in context of readiness to change heath behavior and self-management skills. Sessions 2-4 also involve navigators supporting/assisting patients to fill out paperwork and enroll in needed social services and/or mental/behavioral/physical healthcare, including but not limited to primary care. Sessions 5-7 focus on encouraging and reinforcing treatment adherence, review-ing and identifying other care needs, and offering linkages to service providers as applicable

OTHER

Standard Medication Counseling (SMC)

SMC participants receive a single medication information/counseling session delivered by a University of Utah pharmacist to: (1) offer counseling, (2) document counseling was offered, (3) offer a counseling process for patients not present (not applicable to this study given all patients must screen in person), and (4) discuss generic substitution.
