Addiction Medicine Practice-Based Research Network (AMNet): Building Partnerships.

This column describes the collaboration among the American Psychiatric Association (APA), American Society of Addiction Medicine, Friends Research Institute, and the National Institute on Drug Abuse to create the Addiction Medicine Practice-based Research Network (AMNet) to address the opioid overdose epidemic in the United States. The collaboration leverages the APA’s patient registry (PsychPRO) and is recruiting office-based addiction medicine and psychiatry practices for AMNet. AMNet aims to address knowledge gaps regarding patient care in such practices, facilitate performance improvement efforts, and serve as a research platform.
