Recovery Capital and Subsequent Overdose Risk and Addiction Treatment Engagement Among Emergency Department Patients at High Risk of Opioid Overdose
BACKGROUND: Emergency department (ED) visits are an opportunity to provide prevention services to people at high risk of overdose. Considering patients' resources to initiate and sustain recovery ("recovery capital") may be useful for tailoring ED services, although its relevance in this population is unknown. METHODS: This secondary analysis used data from ED patients at high risk of opioid overdose enrolled in a randomized controlled trial in R…
Mental Health Status of Rhode Island Middle School and High School Students Before Versus During the Covid ‐19 Pandemic
BACKGROUND: The COVID-19 pandemic negatively affected adolescent mental health due to school closures, isolation, family loss/hardships, and reduced health care access. METHODS: We compared adolescent mental health in Rhode Island before versus during the pandemic, separately among middle and high schoolers. This serial cross-sectional study used Youth Risk Behavior Survey data from 2019 and 2021 (N = 7403). Multivariable logistic regression mode…
Evaluation of Rhode Island’s Early Geographic Covid-19 Vaccine Prioritization Policy
Objectives. To determine whether geographic prioritization of limited COVID-19 vaccine supply was effective for reducing geographic disparities in case rates. Methods. Rhode Island allocated a portion of the initial COVID-19 vaccine supply to residents of Central Falls, a community already affected by structural policies and inadequate systems that perpetuate health inequities and experiencing disproportionately high COVID-19 morbidity and mortal…
Receipt of Prescription Psychostimulants and Stimulant-Involved Fatal Overdose
Background: Rates of psychostimulant use, misuse, and hospitalization have increased markedly over the past decade. The objective of this study was to estimate the association between receipt of a psychostimulant prescription in the past year and fatal, unintentional psychostimulant-involved overdose. Methods: We conducted a population-based case-control study using linked, state-level databases from the Rhode Island Department of Health. Cases w…

Statewide Policy to Increase Provision of Take-Home Naloxone at Emergency Department Visits for Opioid Overdose, Rhode Island, 2018‒2019
In 2017, Rhode Island responded to rising overdose deaths by establishing statewide emergency department (ED) treatment standards for opioid overdose and opioid use disorder. One requirement of the policy is that providers prescribe or provide take-home naloxone to anyone presenting to EDs with opioid overdose. Among adults presenting to EDs with opioid overdose from 2018 to 2019, approximately half received take-home naloxone. Receipt of naloxon…
Controlled Substance Prescription History among Individuals Who Died of an Accidental Opioid-Involved Drug Overdose in Rhode Island
Background: Accidental opioid-involved overdose deaths are increasing nationally in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, but it is unclear if this reflects a change in populations most at risk. Objective: To determine whether the demographic characteristics and controlled substance prescription history of accidental opioid-involved drug overdose decedents in 2020 differed from prior years. Methods: We identified accidental opioid-involved overdose …

History of Methadone and Buprenorphine Opioid Agonist Therapy Among People Who Died of an Accidental Opioid-Involved Overdose
To guide intervention efforts, we identified the proportion of individuals previously engaged in opioid agonist therapy among people who died of an accidental opioid-involved overdose. Most individuals (60.9%) had never received any prior buprenorphine or methadone treatment. Individuals who died of an overdose in 2020 had a similar demographic profile and treatment history compared with prior years. To prevent additional accidental opioid-involv…
