348 Translating a precision dosing approach for opioid use disorder in Puerto Rico: Pilot testing of the clinical utility and patient/provider acceptability

Abstract

OBJECTIVES/GOALS: The purpose of this pilot study is to evaluate the clinical utility and patient/provider acceptability of a buprenorphine (bup) precision dosing approach for opioid use disorder (OUD) in Puerto Rico (PR) to in estimate the most adequate bup dosing regimen based on the unique pharmacological and clinical characteristics of these patients. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: The goal of this pilot study is to evaluate the extent to which people delivering (providers) or receiving (patients) opioid use disorder care in PR consider our 'bup precision dosing approach' to be appropriate, based on anticipated or experienced cognitive and emotional responses. We will use the Theoretical Framework of Acceptability (TFA) to conduct this evaluation. We expect to generate a baseline understanding of the acceptability of our bup precision dosing approach in terms of clinical utility and attitudes by OUD patients and providers in clinics in PR, We will conduct focus groups and surveys to document patients and providers perceptions, beliefs, attitudes and reception of our bup evidence-based dosing approach. RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: We seek to answer the following questions: How do OUD providers and patients in PR view, and how will they engage with our buprenorphine precision dosing approach? Will our intervention based in science be accepted be these individuals? What are their attitudes towards this? How they perceive the efficacy of this intervention to be? What are the barriers and facilitators of this evidence based intervention? This knowledge is crucial before clinical implementation is pursued, we expect to comprehend the unique attitudes and perceptions of these population that supports the successful implementation in the nearby future and enhance the innovation uptake of our bup dosing model for OUD in PR. DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE: It is important that adequate assessments that assess acceptability and feasibility prior to implementation and while still in developmental phases are conducted to plan ahead for the implementation of interventions since innovation uptake depends largely on contextual factors, not just innovation effectiveness.
