Stakeholder-informed recommendations for patient-centered medication service delivery for stimulant use disorder: a qualitative study.
Article in Addiction science & clinical practice, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundAlthough stimulant use disorder (StUD) is on the rise in the United States, few receive treatment. There are no FDA-approved medication treatments, despite evidence of clinical efficacy. Substance use treatment occurs within a complex landscape, with implementation of medication treatments requiring coordination among diverse partners and careful consideration of individual, organizational, and societal-level influences. The aim of this study was to identify partner- and theory-informed implementation strategies to support widespread adoption of medications for StUD.
methodsSeven focus groups and four interviews were conducted with patients and providers in diverse substance use treatment settings (12 patients, 13 providers; 25 total participants). Rapid qualitative analysis was used to distill and compare findings across patient and provider samples, and findings were critically reviewed for alignment with the Expert Recommendations for Implementing Change taxonomy in accordance with recommendations for mapping implementation strategies.
resultsParticipants highlighted multiple strategies that were categorized into three classes: capacity-building, integration, and implementation processes. Capacity-building strategies included training and education for providers and patients, families, and communities to reduce stigma, improve the patient-centeredness of care, and increase medication demand. Integration strategies focused mainly on organizational-level strategies such as mandating change, modifying record systems, and adding peers to care teams to enhance patient-centered care through required training, use of treatment plans, and preparing patients to be active participants in their treatment. Implementation processes strategies focused on the need for team meetings and internal/external networking to reduce siloed work among care teams and improve communication with patients.
conclusionsWe report on a model for incorporating patient and provider perspectives and considering multilevel contextual factors to design implementation strategies for feasibility and acceptability across diverse SUD treatment settings. Findings highlight the importance of patient-centered approaches to medication delivery, particularly for StUD, to increase treatment engagement and adherence.
