ACTIVE NOT RECRUITING NA

Improving Care for Unhealthy Alcohol Use in Primary Care

NCT04565899 · View on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗

Study Summary

In order to improve the quality of alcohol-related care for those with unhealthy alcohol use, the current research will use an evidence-based implementation strategy, practice facilitation, at one VA primary care site to pilot test whether practice facilitation has the potential to improve the quality of primary care-based alcohol-related care . It is hypothesized that primary care providers who take part in the practice facilitation intervention will provide higher quality substance use care to Veterans with unhealthy alcohol use compared to care pre-practice facilitation (e.g., administer evidence-based brief counseling interventions at higher rates, prescribe alcohol use disorder pharmacotherapy at higher rates, increase referrals to specialty substance use disorder clinics).

What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT04565899

The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT04565899 describes a study currently listed as active not recruiting. It is categorized as NA, which is the standard way researchers label where a study sits along the investigational pathway from early safety work through later efficacy and post-marketing evaluation. The registered enrollment target is 42 participants, a figure that helps gauge the scale of data the investigators plan to collect. The listed sponsor is VA Office of Research and Development, which has 1,863 total studies on file at ClinicalTrials.gov, and sponsors are the parties responsible for study design, oversight, and regulatory filings.

The record links to 2 conditions, with Alcohol Use Disorder appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 1 intervention — of which Practice facilitation implementation intervention is the first listed. Interventions can include drugs, devices, procedures, behavioral programs, or observational arms, and each is tracked as a separate registry field so that downstream queries can filter accurately. When a trial lists multiple interventions, it usually reflects a multi-arm design or a comparison protocol rather than a single treatment being tested in isolation. The brief summary published in the registry is the clearest source of protocol intent and should be read before drawing conclusions from any sidebar tags.

Geographic footprint matters for practical reasons: NCT04565899 reports 2 study locations spanning 2 distinct geographic areas — top geographies include Michigan, Pennsylvania. A larger site network tends to correlate with broader recruitment capacity, but it does not imply anything about study quality, and site-level enrollment status can diverge from the overall registry status shown above. Every data point on this page comes from the public ClinicalTrials.gov dataset and is reproduced here for reference only; it is not a medical recommendation, an endorsement of the sponsor, or an invitation to enroll.
