Project Description

Study Aims

Aim 1: Assess the current care management practices of substance use related visits across PEDSnet institutions by evaluating labs and medications ordered in different clinical settings and by substance types. Examine temporal trends in substance use-related visits and assess current management practices of these visits overall and by location (emergency department, hospital, outpatient), patient characteristics, and substance type.
Aim 2: Determine the patterns of follow up to primary care after an acute substance use related visit and evaluate the impact on subsequent acute substance use related presentations. Analyses will determine the patterns of follow up to primary care after an acute substance-related visit and evaluate the impact on subsequent acute SRV presentations.
Aim 3: To understand primary care provider experiences and perspectives on caring for youth who use substances. This aim will provide insight into the current barriers and facilitators primary care providers experience in caring for youth who use substances. Additionally, it will help identify potential solutions to improve care. These results will be used to develop future interventions which could be piloted at primary care sites within.
