Provide written comments within 30 days of notice publication. Proposed Project Evaluation of Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) for Opioid Use Disorder—New—National Center for Injury Prevention and Control (NCIPC), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Background and Brief Description This is a new Information Collection Request. CDC requests a three-year OMB approval. About 2 million people aged 12 or older in the United States have Opioid Use Disorders (OUDs) related to prescription opioids and almost 600,000 have OUDs related to heroin use (SAMHSA, 2015). OUD is a problematic pattern of opioid use that cause significant impairment or distress characterized by unsuccessful efforts to control use and failures to fulfill obligations social, at work, or school, yet many of these people do not receive OUD treatment. Given the continued need for treatment and the urgency of the opioid epidemic, further understanding of the individual and contextual factors that may impact treatment outcomes is needed. To help address this need, the CDC is conducting a study of 60 Opioid Use Disorder (OUD) treatment facilities and four primary care facilities located in 11 metropolitan statistical areas across the United States. The respondent universe includes individuals in the United States who receive some form of OUD treatment in the 11 MSAs. Prospective participants will be eligible if they are 18 to 64 years of age and initiating one of four primary treatments for OUD: Methadone maintenance treatment (MMT), buprenorphine (BUP), naltrexone (NTX), or counseling treatment without medication (COUN). The study aims to enroll 3,560 clients across all sites to better understand the relationship between type of Medication Assisted Treatment (MAT) and individual and treatment facility characteristics, and contextual factors. The information gained from this data collection will help inform policy makers, communities, and providers on how individual characteristics and contextual factors may impact client outcomes. The MAT study will also provide a unique perspective for three reasons: (1) It assesses the treatment, individual, and contextual factors that influence implementation and outcomes in real-world settings; (2) its large target sample size (n = 3,560); and, (3) the long follow-up window (i.e., 24-month follow-up period with clients). CDC has collaborated with other relevant federal agencies to avoid duplication and maximize efficiencies in data collection. The MAT Study design and protocols have been reviewed and shared with colleagues from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) and the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA). Four overarching evaluation questions guide the MAT Study. These questions drive the research design, and CDC developed this data collection effort to, specifically, address these evaluation questions. This data collection effort captures a series of outcome measures including the associated benefits (e.g., reductions in morbidity, mortality, and drug overdoses; improvements in socioeconomic outcomes and healthrelated quality of life [HRQOL]) and potential risks (e.g., side effects, diversion potential) of each treatment alternative. The study will use a mixed-methods approach using quantitative methods such as multilevel latent growth models, propensity score matching, latent class analysis and advanced mediation analysis and qualitative methods such as interactive coding and analysis for common themes. The total estimated annualized burden for this collection is 3,093 hours. The only cost to respondents will be time spent responding to the surveys.

Proposed Project

    Evaluation of Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) for Opioid Use 
Disorder--New--National Center for Injury Prevention and Control 
(NCIPC), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

Background and Brief Description

    This is a new Information Collection Request. CDC requests a three-
year OMB approval.
    About 2 million people aged 12 or older in the United States have 
Opioid Use Disorders (OUDs) related to prescription opioids and almost 
600,000 have OUDs related to heroin use (SAMHSA, 2015). OUD is a 
problematic pattern of opioid use that cause significant impairment or 
distress characterized by unsuccessful efforts to control use and 
failures to fulfill obligations social, at work, or school, yet many of 
these people do not receive OUD treatment. Given the continued need for 
treatment and the urgency of the opioid epidemic, further understanding 
of the individual and contextual factors that may impact treatment 
outcomes is needed. To help address this need, the CDC is conducting a 
study of 60 Opioid Use Disorder (OUD) treatment facilities and four 
primary care facilities located in 11 metropolitan statistical areas 
across the United States. The respondent universe includes individuals 
in the United States who receive some form of OUD treatment in the 11 
MSAs.
    Prospective participants will be eligible if they are 18 to 64 
years of age and initiating one of four primary treatments for OUD: 
Methadone maintenance treatment (MMT), buprenorphine (BUP), naltrexone 
(NTX), or counseling treatment without medication (COUN). The study 
aims to enroll 3,560 clients across all sites to better understand the 
relationship between type of Medication Assisted Treatment (MAT) and 
individual and treatment facility characteristics, and contextual 
factors.
    The information gained from this data collection will help inform 
policy makers, communities, and providers on how individual 
characteristics and contextual factors may impact client outcomes. The 
MAT study will also provide a unique perspective for three reasons: (1) 
It assesses the treatment, individual, and contextual factors that 
influence implementation and outcomes in real-world settings; (2) its 
large target sample size (n = 3,560); and, (3) the long follow-up 
window (i.e., 24-month follow-up period with clients). CDC has 
collaborated with other relevant federal agencies to avoid duplication 
and maximize efficiencies in data collection. The MAT Study design and 
protocols have been reviewed and shared with colleagues from the 
Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) and 
the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA).
    Four overarching evaluation questions guide the MAT Study. These 
questions drive the research design, and CDC developed this data 
collection effort to, specifically, address these evaluation questions. 
This data collection effort captures a series of outcome measures 
including the associated benefits (e.g., reductions in morbidity, 
mortality, and drug overdoses; improvements in socioeconomic outcomes 
and health-related quality of life [HRQOL]) and potential risks (e.g., 
side effects, diversion potential) of each treatment alternative.
    The study will use a mixed-methods approach using quantitative 
methods such as multilevel latent growth models, propensity score 
matching, latent class analysis and advanced mediation analysis and 
qualitative methods such as interactive coding and analysis for common 
themes.
    The total estimated annualized burden for this collection is 3,093 
hours. The only cost to respondents will be time spent responding to 
the surveys.
