Brief Summary

The DIGITS Trial addresses a critical knowledge gap: How to best implement digital treatments for opioids and other substance use disorders in primary care. The DIGITS Trial is a partnership between Kaiser Permanente Washington Health Research Institute (KPWHRI) in Seattle, and Kaiser Permanente Washington, a healthcare delivery system in Washington State.

In this study, the FDA-authorized reSET and reSET-O digital therapeutics will be implemented in Kaiser Permanente Washington primary care clinics. The study will evaluate the extent to which two implementation strategy interventions, health coaching and practice coaching, improve the implementation. Primary care clinics are randomized to receive these implementation strategy interventions. Each clinic will have a 12-month active implementation period beginning on its date of randomization. To study the continued use of reSET and reSET-O after the active implementation period is completed, a sustainment period of up 12 months will follow the active implementation period.

Detailed Description

Specific Aims of the DIGITS Trial are to:

1. Estimate the effect of practice facilitation and health coaching implementation strategies in increasing the reach and fidelity of a digital therapeutic for substance use disorders in primary care clinics.

2. Compare the population-level cost-effectiveness of each implementation strategy in increasing reach, fidelity, and abstinence.

Standard Implementation Plus Health Coaching and Practice FacilitationPractice FacilitationThe clinics in this arm will implement reSET and reSET-O with a standard implementation strategy and patients at the clinic will receive support from a health coach to help them engage with reSET and reSET-O. Additionally, a practice facilitator will provide the clinic with support for implementation.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Fidelity of patients' use of the digital therapeutic to clinical recommendations15 months

Mean number of weeks during patients' 12-week prescription in which patients use 4 app modules/week and have visited a clinician in the past 30 days

Reach of the digital therapeutic to patients in the primary care clinic12 months

The proportion of patients who initiate the digital therapeutic, defined by instances in which patients open the app, enter the prescription code, and use a treatment module.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Engagement15 months

Mean number of months in which patients make ≥1 visit for substance use disorder

Economic costs12 months

Costs from the perspective of a health system and payer including implementation, direct intervention, operating, and other indirect health care costs. This measure will be used to calculate the population-level cost effectiveness of increasing reach, fidelity, and engagement.
