This study will evaluate implementation of emergency department (ED)-initiated BUP in a large number of sites; compare extended release (XR)-BUP with sublingual (SL) BUP in ED patients with untreated OUD; and develop and validate electronic health record phenotypes of opioid-related illnesses to characterize ED visits, enhance active disease surveillance, and better identify patients eligible for study inclusion.

The research in the NES is aimed at investigating the interaction among brain pathologies and risk factors; identifying new risk factors for brain aging; developing new hypotheses about AD based on population research; and translating these factors to relevant public health prevention strategies to prevent brain changes leading to dementia.

This project will investigate methods to detect cocaine use from heart rate data captured by smartwatches. This approach may nicely complement self-report methods that suffer from temporal inaccuracy in reporting cocaine use in the field setting. Detection of cocaine use through smartwatches will build upon, and extend, recently developed methods to identify cocaine use from interbeat interval heart rate data obtained from electrocardiogram (ECG) sensors and physical activity from accelerometer data.
