Cost-effectiveness of Increasing Buprenorphine Treatment Initiation, Duration, and Capacity Among Individuals Who Use Opioids
This modeling analysis simulated the effects of implementing several intervention strategies across the buprenorphine cascade of care and found that strategies that were concurrently associated with increased buprenorphine treatment initiation, duration, and capacity were cost-effective
National Trends in Suicide Thoughts and Behavior among US Adults with Opioid Use Disorder from 2015 to 2020
INTRODUCTION: Suicide thoughts and behavior (STB) are associated with premature mortality and is disproportionately represented among those with opioid use disorder (OUD). Recent trends in STB among those with OUD are lacking. We investigated trends in STB among US adults with versus without OUD using six waves of cross-sectional, nationally-representative, epidemiological data. METHODS: = 241,675). We compared past-year STB outcomes (i.e., thoug…
Prevalence of Cannabis Use and Cannabis Route of Administration among Massachusetts Adults in Buprenorphine Treatment for Opioid Use Disorder
BACKGROUND: Recent prevalence estimates of cannabis use among individuals receiving medication treatment for OUD (MOUD) are lacking, and no study has characterized cannabis route of administration (cROA) in this population. These knowledge gaps are relevant because cannabis' effects and health outcomes vary by cROA and the availability and perceptions of cROA (e.g., vaping devices) are changing. METHODS: The Vaping In Buprenorphine-treated patien…
Impact of Alternative Ways to Operationalize Buprenorphine Treatment Duration on Understanding Continuity of Care for Opioid Use Disorder
Spatiotemporal Trends in Discarded Needle Reports in San Francisco Over a 10-year Period, 2010-2019
Alcohol Availability Across Neighborhoods in Ontario Following Alcohol Sales Deregulation, 2013–2017
Objectives. To examine the association between neighborhood socioeconomic status (SES) and alcohol availability before and after deregulation in 2015 of the alcohol market in Ontario, Canada. Methods. We quantified alcohol access by number of alcohol outlets and hours of retail for all 19 964 neighborhoods in Ontario. We used mixed effects regression models to examine the associations between alcohol access and a validated SES index between 2013 …
Using Publicly Available Data to Understand the Opioid Overdose Epidemic: Geospatial Distribution of Discarded Needles in Boston, Massachusetts
Objectives. To use publicly available, crowdsourced data to understand geospatial trends in discarded needles. Methods. We completed multiple geospatial analyses of discarded needles reported through the Boston, Massachusetts, 311 service request system. Results. Between May 2015 and August 2017, 4763 discarded needles were reported. The highest concentration of needles were reported in census block groups in the South End and Roxbury neighborhoo…
