Kaiser Permanente Researcher Profiles

Dr. Cynthia Campbell is a research scientist at the Division of Research, Kaiser Permanente Northern California, conducting research on the treatment of substance use and mental health problems. She is also an Adjunct Associate Professor in the Department of Psychiatry, University of California, San Francisco. Her interests include access to treatment, chronic pain and substance use, prescription opioid use and misuse, adolescent behavioral health, benefit design and cost sharing, and organizational factors and policy related to these areas. She is currently the principal investigator of a NIDA-funded study examining the impact of the ACA on addiction and HIV services, a NIDA-funded study examining substance use service intensity for buprenorphine patients, and a PCORI-funded study of a patient activation intervention in primary care for chronic pain patients starting long-term prescription opioid use. Her work also includes the assessment of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in children. She received her doctorate in Public Health at the University of Michigan, and conducted her postdoctoral work at UCSF in a NIDA-funded fellowship on Substance Abuse and Health Services.

Studies

A Prospective, Observational Study Designed to Quantify the Serious Risks of Misuse, Abuse and Addiction Associated with Long-Term Use of Opioid Analgesics for Management of Chronic Pain Among Patients Prescribed ER/LA Opioid Analgesics

The goal of this Food and Drug Administration-mandated study is to provide quantitative estimates of the serious risks of misuse, abuse, addiction, overdose, and death associated with long-term use of opioid analgesics for management of chronic pain, among patients prescribed extended-release and long-acting (ER/LA) opioid products. Patients will be recruited and interviewed across several health system sites.

Developing a Prescription Opioid Registry in Diverse Health Systems

Building on past research, this project will establish the infrastructure to expand a prescription opioid registry across diverse health systems in the Addiction Research Network. Harmonized electronic health record data elements will be used to examine how changes in opioid use are associated with other patient outcomes, such as emergency department service utilization, benzodiazepine use, and use of other non-opioid medications (e.g., nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs [NSAIDs] and gabapentin), and how this may vary by patient characteristics and across health systems.

Recreational and Medical Use of Cannabis in a Time of Legalization and Changing Attitudes

This study will survey a sample of patients with pain about their use of medical marijuana. The goal is to describe patterns of use, mode, medical conditions, or symptoms for which medical marijuana is used, as well as perceived benefits, side effects, and patient experience of communication about its use with providers.

Integrating Addiction Research in Health Systems: The Addiction Research Network

This cooperative agreement supports addiction research in 15 health systems from across the U.S. by establishing the Health Systems Network (HSN) node of the NIDA Clinical Trials Network. HSN research includes a range of study designs and settings, but emphasizes integrating addiction treatment into medical settings and health systems.

Prescription Opioid Management in Chronic Pain Patients: A Patient-Centered Activation Intervention

This randomized trial is based in primary care and focuses on management of prescription opioids among chronic pain patients. The intervention uses a patient activation approach to self-management for these patients and to link them to existing health plan resources.
Investigator: Campbell, Cynthia
Funder: Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute

Buprenorphine and Substance Abuse Services for Prescription Opioid Dependence

This study is a randomized trial of adjunctive substance abuse services in combination with buprenorphine treatment for opioid abuse/dependence. We will examine treatment as usual vs. case management/telephonic support, and outcomes of medication compliance, substance use and psychiatric severity.
Investigator: Campbell, Cynthia
Funder: National Institute on Drug Abuse

The Impact of Health Care Reform on Addiction and HIV Services

To examine the impact of the ACA on treatment for individuals with drug use disorders and who are HIV+. We will examine how this population changes after 2014 enrollment, and subsequent substance abuse treatment and HIV treatment utilization. We will examine findings for different coverage groups, and explore organizational response to changes in this population. The study uses EMR data supplemented by qualitative interviews with patients and providers.
