We are thrilled to announce a new R01 grant award for the study “Developing a ML algorithm to predict relapse in OUD treatment and building an evidence-based clinical decision support (CDS) e-tool (PROTECT)." This project will create a machine-learning algorithm to predict relapse during opioid use disorder treatment and integrate it into a clinical decision support tool to guide care. Dr. Praveen Kumar, Assistant Professor in Pitt Public Health’s Department of Health Policy and Management, serves as the Pitt Principal Investigator, with the University of Florida as the prime awardee. CP3 faculty members Dr. Jenny Lo-Ciganic and Dr. Walid Gellad are co-Investigators on the study, which builds on the Pitt-UF team’s prior work developing risk prediction algorithms paired with CDS tools.
