Outcomes Measures for Sexual Minority Patients in an Opioid Treatment Program C. John-Hull, S. Kritz, M. Chu, C. Madray, G. Dominguez, C. Bowers, R. Sumpter, J. Mitchell, L.S. Brown Addiction Research and Treatment Corp, Brooklyn, NY Submitted as R-21 application in response to NIDA PA : Health Research with Diverse Populations

ABSTRACT Studies of sexual minorities have overwhelmingly been cross- sectional and descriptive. Some of the findings are: (1) increased risk for mental health and substance abuse problems; (2) different substances of abuse; (3) engagement in riskier sexual practices; and, (4) unique healthcare access issues as compared to heterosexuals. The Addiction Research and Treatment Corporation is the largest non-hospital based Opioid Treatment Program in New York State, serving more than 3,000 patients annually. We provide a wide range of healthcare and social services to patients throughout Brooklyn and Manhattan. On the basis of anonymous surveys, there is clearly an interest in having programs geared towards this population. In response to a NIDA R-01 Program Announcement (PA ), we propose to do a pre and post- intervention study that evaluates sexual minority patients participating in specialized groups in the following outcomes measures: (1) substance abuse; and, (2) quality of life. These particular outcomes were chosen because they will provide sufficient data for statistical analysis of significance, which is lacking in studies of this population.

DATA ANALYSIS  Quantitative analysis of each study measure  Categorical variables: chi-square tests for statistical significance

CURRENT STATUS  Scientific Review Group (SRG) review: Not scored; SRG recommended inclusion of control group  ARTC analysis of SRG review: Logistics of control group deemed not appropriate; too few subjects in each arm  Next Steps: Submit to CSAT under Targeted Capacity Expansion grant program in early 2008
