Telemedicine-based buprenorphine initiation and maintenance in rural jails
The persistent U.S. opioid overdose epidemic disproportionately affects incarcerated populations, who face a severely heightened risk of fatal overdose after release. Providing medications for opioid use disorder (MOUD) in jails significantly reduces post-release death and boosts community treatment engagement, making short-term carceral stays a vital window for intervention. But access to MOUD, especially in rural areas, is greatly hampered by l…
Stigma is our most powerful enemy”
Understanding rural patient experiences with multi-layered stigmas is crucial for developing innovative strategies to reduce stigma and support recovery
On the Value of Measuring Recent Drug Use by Self-Reports and Urinalysis in Clinical Trials
Background: Valid measurement of drug use in patients enrolled in clinical trials that treat substance use disorder is vital to determine the trial’s outcome. Self-reports are often used but their validity has been studied with mixed results. Urinalysis may sometimes be employed as an alternative or supplement to self-reports. Objectives: This study examined how estimating drug use by either method would affect the results from a randomized clini…
Patient Satisfaction With Medications for Opioid Use Disorder Treatment via Telemedicine
Telemedicine is increasingly being used to treat patients with opioid use disorder (OUD). It has particular value in rural areas of the United States impacted by the opioid crisis as these areas have a shortage of trained addiction medicine providers. Patient satisfaction significantly impacts positive clinical outcomes in OUD treatment and thus is of great clinical interest. Yet little is known regarding patient satisfaction with the increasingl…
Buprenorphine Induction in a Rural Maryland Detention Center During Covid-19
Over 10 million individuals pass through U.S. detention centers on an annual basis, with nearly two-thirds meeting criteria for drug dependence/abuse. Despite proven efficacy, treatment with medications for opioid use disorder (MOUD) is underutilized in jail settings-a gap that could be addressed using telemedicine. Here we describe a new program of telemedicine-based clinical provision of new/continuing buprenorphine treatment for individuals de…
Race-based differences in drug use prior to onset of opioid use disorder
Rates of opioid use disorder (OUD) have increased dramatically over the past two decades, a rise that has been accompanied by changing demographics of those affected. Early exposure to drugs is a known risk factor for later development of opioid use disorder; but how and whether this risk factor may differ between racial groups is unknown. Our study seeks to identify race differences in self-report of current and past substance use in OUD-diagnos…
Estimating Influenza-Associated Deaths in the United States
Most estimates of US deaths associated with influenza circulation have been similar despite the use of different approaches. However, a recently published estimate suggested that previous estimates substantially overestimated deaths associated with influenza, and concluded that substantial numbers of deaths during a future pandemic could be prevented because of improvements in medical care. We reviewed the data sources and methods used to estimat…
The annual impact of seasonal influenza in the US
Real-Time Vaccine Safety Surveillance for the Early Detection of Adverse Events
BACKGROUND: Rare but serious adverse events associated with vaccines or drugs are often nearly impossible to detect in prelicensure studies and require monitoring after introduction of the agent in large populations. Sequential testing procedures are needed to detect vaccine or drug safety problems as soon as possible after introduction. OBJECTIVE: To develop and evaluate a new real-time surveillance system that uses dynamic data files and sequen…
Mortality Associated With Influenza and Respiratory Syncytial Virus in the United States
CONTEXT: Influenza and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) cause substantial morbidity and mortality. Statistical methods used to estimate deaths in the United States attributable to influenza have not accounted for RSV circulation. OBJECTIVE: To develop a statistical model using national mortality and viral surveillance data to estimate annual influenza- and RSV-associated deaths in the United States, by age group, virus, and influenza type and su…
