ListOutcomeTime frameDescription
PrimaryRCT Component: Patient engagement (yes/no) in formal addiction treatment at 7 days post randomization7 days post randomization
Engagement in formal addiction treatment will be defined as enrollment and receiving formal addiction treatment on the 7th day post randomization, confirmed by contact with the facility and/or treating clinician. Formal addiction treatment will be operationally defined as those treatments consistent with the American Society of Addiction Medicine's levels of care (1-4) and can include a range of clinical settings including office-based providers of BUP or naltrexone, opioid treatment programs (OTPs), intensive outpatient, inpatient, or residential treatments. Patients do not need to be receiving MOUD at 7 days to be considered engaged in formal addiction treatment. Participation in a mutual-help program such as Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) or (Narcotics Anonymous) NA alone will not be considered as engagement in formal addiction treatment. Additional analyses evaluating the effects of patient and site characteristics will also be conducted.
SecondaryRCT Component: Engagement in MOUD (yes/no) at 7 days post randomization7 days post randomizationself-report verified with treatment provider(s)
SecondaryRCT Component: Patient engagement (yes/no) in formal addiction treatment at 30 days post randomization30 days post randomization
Engagement in formal addiction treatment will be defined as enrollment in formal addiction treatment on the 30th day post randomization, confirmed by direct contact with the facility and/or treating clinician. Formal addiction treatment will be operationally defined as those treatments consistent with the American Society of Addiction Medicine's levels of care (1-4) and can include a range of clinical settings including office-based providers of BUP or naltrexone, OTPs, intensive outpatient, inpatient, or residential treatments. Patients do not need to be receiving MOUD on the 30th day post randomization to be considered engaged in formal addiction treatment. Participation in a mutual-help program such as Alcoholics or Narcotics Anonymous alone will not be considered as engagement in formal addiction treatment. Additional analyses evaluating the effects of patient and site characteristics will also be conducted.
SecondaryRCT Component: Patient Engagement in MOUD (yes/no) at 30 days post randomization30 days post randomizationself report verified with treatment provider(s)
SecondaryRCT Component: Self-reported days of illicit opioid use (past 7 days) at 7 days post randomization7 days post randomizationThe Timeline Follow-back procedure will be used to elicit the patient participant's self-reported days of use of opioids.
SecondaryRCT Component: Self-reported days of illicit opioid use (past 7 days) at 30 days post randomization30 days post randomizationThe Timeline Follow-back procedure will be used to elicit the patient participant's self-reported days of use of opioids.
SecondaryRCT Component: Craving scores at 7 days post randomization7 days post randomizationThe investigators will use visual analogue scales (VAS) to assess craving, desire to use opioids and need to use opioids with a scale of 0-100.
SecondaryRCT Component: Healthcare services utilization (past 30 days) regarding ED visits and hospitalizations at 30 days post randomization30 days post randomization
A brief, structured interview regarding health care utilization (inpatient and outpatient) will be used, which collects information on the type and amount of services received. This includes ED visits, hospitalizations, primary medical care visits (excluding those for BUP treatment and self-help sources of support (e.g., NA).
SecondaryRCT Component: Patient satisfaction with BUP at 7 days post randomization7 days post randomization
The investigators will modify the patient satisfaction scale where overall experience is rated from 1 to 5 (1 is completely ineffective and 5 is completely effective) and treatment characteristics are rated 1 to 7 (1 is not important and 7 is extremely important) based on previous published data.
SecondaryRCT Component: Overdose Events at 30 days post randomization30 days post randomization
Assessment of past 30-day overdose events will be completed at 30 days post study enrollment. In addition, Site PIs will search local electronic medical records for fatal and non-fatal overdose events.
SecondaryAncillary Component: Proportion of participants that experience a 5 or greater increase in COWS score within 4 hours of of XR-BUP administrationWithin 4 hours of XR-BUP administration
Clinical Opiate Withdrawal Scale (COWS) - the COWS is a validated measure of the severity of opioid withdrawal that consists of 11 subjective and objective items. Scores on the individual items are combined to a single overall score that has been used to determine the SL-BUP induction strategy. COWS scoring, and interpretation is as follows: Score: 5-12 = mild opioid withdrawal; 13-24 = moderate opioid withdrawal; 25-36 = moderately severe opioid withdrawal; more than 36 = severe opioid withdrawal.
SecondaryAncillary Component: Proportion of participants that transition to moderate withdrawal (COWS 13-24) within 4 hours of XR-BUP administrationWithin 4 hours of XR-BUP administration

OtherRCT Component: Cost effectiveness of XR-BUP compared to SL-BUP using ICER (incremental cost-effectiveness ratio): Engagement7 days post randomization
The final outcome measure for the cost-effectiveness analysis is the ICER (incremental cost-effectiveness ratio), which includes the relevant cost differential between the study arms in the numerator, and the difference in a chosen effectiveness measure in the denominator. 3 types of ICERs will be generated, each one with a different effectiveness measure (engagement in formal addiction treatment at 30 days; quality-adjusted life-years (QALYs) gained; and Abstinent Years). The reason being that different ICERs are more relevant to certain potential stakeholder groups than others.
