Center of Scientific-Practical Initiatives has started a new study with Yale University (PIs: Dr. Frederick Altice (<\/em>https:\/\/ysph.yale.edu\/profile\/frederick-altice\/<\/a>) and Dr. Lynn Madden <\/em>(https:\/\/medicine.yale.edu\/profile\/lynn-madden\/<\/a>, https:\/\/aptfoundation.org\/about-us\/bios\/<\/a>).<\/span><\/p>\n

OBJECTIVE:<\/strong> To scale-up opioid agonist treatments (OAT) in Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, and Tajikistan by training, coaching, facilitating and supporting national narcology experts (CNs) on the use of The Network for the Improvement of Addiction Treatment (NIATx) <\/strong>and create national NIATx collaboratives and a 3-country learning collaborative.<\/span><\/p>\n

BACKGROUND:<\/strong> The NIATx collaborative is a group of CNs involved in the provision of OAT who seek to increase the number of patients receiving OAT by improving the care processes in their clinics via coaching linked to rapid-change cycles, within the existing legal framework. We will include all of the Oblast CNs to create learning collaboratives at the oblast-level, which will then be replicated at the country, and regional levels.<\/span><\/p>\n

OUTCOMES:<\/strong> Our primary outcome will be total scale-up of patients on OAT nationally and per oblast. Because patient census is a function of patients entering and dropping out of OAT, these will be our secondary outcomes.<\/span><\/p>\n
