Barriers to Recovery from Opioid Use Disorder Reported by Women During 2020
This study seeks to inform emergency preparedness efforts by summarizing the pandemic's impacts on access to opioid use disorder (OUD) recovery support as reported by women in recovery. In-depth interviews were completed with adult women in recovery from OUD. We used a primarily deductive approach to coding and analysis. Two coders analyzed transcripts; discrepancies were resolved through discussion. Seventeen women completed interviews from June…
Understanding barriers and facilitators to women’s recovery from opioid use disorder
This study examined barriers to accessing treatment and recovery support for opioid use disorder (OUD) among women and suggested solutions to overcoming them. Ten in-depth focus groups (27 participants) were conducted with women in recovery from August 2023 to January 2024. Transcripts were analyzed by two coders using an inductive approach guided by grounded theory methods. Major themes that emerged highlighted the ways compounding challenges ma…
Using Dynamic Causal Bayesian Networks to Assess the Role of Patient-Centered Care and Individual-Level Barriers on Viral Suppression Changes Among a Cohort of People with HIV
To assess the impact of changes in barriers to HIV viral suppression and the moderating role of patient-provider relationships, we conducted a retrospective cohort study using dynamic causal Bayesian network analyses on the first two available needs assessments between May 2020 and December 2022 for clients of the Miami-Dade County Ryan White Program (RWP) Part A Program. A cohort of 1539 individuals was formed using data from the RWP medical cas…
