We employed item and scale psychometrics (exploratory factor analyses, confirmatory factor analyses and item-response theory statistics) to refine items to a brief scale. Results: Following removal of problematic items (poor retest-reliability or wording, semantic redundancy, differential item functioning, collinearity or rarity) iterative factor analytic procedures identified a 10-item unifactorial scale with good model fit in the total sample (N= 426; CFI = 0.981, TLI = 0.975, RMSEA = 0.057), and among pain (CFI = 0.969, TLI = 0.960, RMSEA = 0.062) and OST subgroups (CFI = 0.989, TFI = 0.986, RMSEA = 0.051). The 10 items provided good discrimination between groups, demonstrated acceptable test-retest reliability (ICC 0.80, 95% CI 0.60-0.89; Cronbach's alpha = 0.89), were moderately correlated with related constructs, including opioid dependence (SDS), depression and stress (DASS subscales) and Social Relationships and Environment domains of the WHO-QoL, and had strong face validity among advising clinicians. Conclusions: The Opioid-Related Behaviours In Treatment (ORBIT) scale is brief, reliable and validated for use in diverse patient groups receiving opioids. The ORBIT has potential applications as a checklist to prompt clinical discussions and as a tool to quantify aberrant behaviour and assess change over time.]]> Wed 24 Nov 2021 15:52:02 AEDT ]]> Understanding an emerging treatment population: Protocol for and baseline characteristics of a prospective cohort of people receiving treatment for pharmaceutical opioid dependence https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:42037 Wed 17 Aug 2022 12:13:25 AEST ]]> Protecting pain patients. The evaluation of a chronic pain educational intervention https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:30899 P = 0.039). In a sensitivity analysis including only trainees attending the workshop, 80.0% pre-intervention and 97.1% postintervention tapered opioids (P = 0.070). Anticipated initiation of any opioids for a chronic osteoarthritic knee pain clinical vignette reduced from 35 (74.5%) to 24 (51.1%; P = 0.012) in the primary analysis and from 80.0% to 41.7% in the sensitivity analysis (P = 0.001). Conclusions: Necessary improvements in pain management and opioid harm avoidance are predicated on primary care education being of demonstrable efficacy. This brief educational intervention improved hypothetical management approaches two months subsequently. Further research measuring objective changes in physician behavior, especially opioid prescribing, is indicated.]]> Wed 04 Sep 2019 09:55:51 AEST ]]> 96-week retention in treatment with extended-release subcutaneous buprenorphine depot injections among people with opioid dependence: Extended follow-up after a single-arm trial https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:55154 Tue 16 Apr 2024 15:25:19 AEST ]]> The use of Australian SMART Recovery groups by people who use methamphetamine: Analysis of routinely-collected nationwide data https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:48877 Thu 13 Apr 2023 09:59:59 AEST ]]> Feasibility of a mobile health app for routine outcome monitoring and feedback in SMART recovery mutual support groups: Stage 1 mixed methods pilot study https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:52248 Thu 05 Oct 2023 14:00:13 AEDT ]]> Correlates of pain in an in-treatment sample of opioid-dependent people https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:17227 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:59:16 AEDT ]]> Online SMART Recovery mutual support groups: Characteristics and experience of adults seeking treatment for methamphetamine compared to those seeking treatment for other addictive behaviours https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:50642 Mon 31 Jul 2023 17:09:46 AEST ]]> Outcomes of a single-arm implementation trial of extended-release subcutaneous buprenorphine depot injections in people with opioid dependence https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:46800 Mon 05 Dec 2022 08:29:28 AEDT ]]> The benefits and challenges of virtual SMART recovery mutual-help groups: Participant and facilitator perspectives. https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:51937 Fri 22 Sep 2023 13:12:50 AEST ]]>
