Barriers and facilitators to medication-assisted treatment for cocaine use disorder among men who have sex with men: a qualitative study.
Background: Rates of cocaine use disorder (CUD) among men who have sex with men (MSM) are high and rising. Among MSM, cocaine use is associated with negative socioeconomic, medical, and psychological outcomes. There are no FDA-approved pharmacotherapy options to treat CUD, and psychosocial interventions demonstrate limited efficacy. While there have been numerous trials evaluating possible medications for CUD, there is a scarcity of qualitative data on the barriers and facilitators of medication-assisted treatment.
Methods: Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 16 participants enrolled in a phase II randomized control trial evaluating extended-release lorcaserin among MSM with CUD. Participants were asked about their motivations for enrolling in the study, attitudes towards taking a medication for CUD, barriers and facilitators of study pill adherence, and their general study experience. Interviews were analyzed using an inductive and exploratory approach to thematic analysis.
Results: Participants were highly motivated to reduce cocaine use and viewed pharmacotherapy as a viable and desirable treatment option. Pharmacotherapy was seen as having fewer access and adherence structural barriers compared to existing psychosocial therapies. Medication reminders facilitated pill taking, while side effects, travel, and active substance use presented barriers to study pill adherence. Disclosure of study participation within social networks was variable pointing to anticipated substance use and treatment stigma.
Conclusions: Our study highlights important factors affecting the acceptability and uptake of medication-assisted treatment for CUD among a diverse sample of MSM. These findings can help guide the development and implementation of future pharmacotherapy options for CUD and other substance use disorders in this key population.
期刊介绍:
Addiction Science & Clinical Practice provides a forum for clinically relevant research and perspectives that contribute to improving the quality of care for people with unhealthy alcohol, tobacco, or other drug use and addictive behaviours across a spectrum of clinical settings.
Addiction Science & Clinical Practice accepts articles of clinical relevance related to the prevention and treatment of unhealthy alcohol, tobacco, and other drug use across the spectrum of clinical settings. Topics of interest address issues related to the following: the spectrum of unhealthy use of alcohol, tobacco, and other drugs among the range of affected persons (e.g., not limited by age, race/ethnicity, gender, or sexual orientation); the array of clinical prevention and treatment practices (from health messages, to identification and early intervention, to more extensive interventions including counseling and pharmacotherapy and other management strategies); and identification and management of medical, psychiatric, social, and other health consequences of substance use.
Addiction Science & Clinical Practice is particularly interested in articles that address how to improve the quality of care for people with unhealthy substance use and related conditions as described in the (US) Institute of Medicine report, Improving the Quality of Healthcare for Mental Health and Substance Use Conditions (Washington, DC: National Academies Press, 2006). Such articles address the quality of care and of health services. Although the journal also welcomes submissions that address these conditions in addiction speciality-treatment settings, the journal is particularly interested in including articles that address unhealthy use outside these settings, including experience with novel models of care and outcomes, and outcomes of research-practice collaborations.
Although Addiction Science & Clinical Practice is generally not an outlet for basic science research, we will accept basic science research manuscripts that have clearly described potential clinical relevance and are accessible to audiences outside a narrow laboratory research field.
