TL;DR: Common SUDs, particularly opioid use disorders, are associated with substantial disease burden for privately insured individuals without significant impediments to care, and signals the need to explore the full impact Suds have on the course and outcome of prevalent conditions and initiate enhanced service engagement strategies to improve disease burden.

TL;DR: Organizational factors, lack of training, and discomfort with AOD screening may impact adolescent substance-abuse screening and intervention, but organizational approaches may matter more than PCP or patient factors in determining screening.

TL;DR: The intervention arms had better screening, assessment, and brief intervention rates than the UC arm, suggesting lingering barriers to having pediatricians fully address substance use in primary care.

TL;DR: In an integrated health system where patients may have fewer barriers to care, SMI patients are likely to present for treatment with a range of medical comorbidities, including chronic and severe conditions.

TL;DR: Compared to heavy drinkers, low-risk drinkers did as well as abstinent individuals for many of the outcomes important to health and addiction policy, and an endpoint that allows low- risk drinking may be tenable for individuals undergoing alcohol specialty treatment.
