  • Removal of Medicaid Prior Authorization Requirements and Buprenorphine Treatment for Opioid Use Disorder

    Open AccessPaul J Christine, Marc R Larochelle et al.ARTICLEJAMA Health Forum2023

    In this serial cross-sectional study of Medicaid PA policies for buprenorphine for OUD, removal of PAs was not associated with overall changes in buprenorphine prescribing among Medicaid enrollees. Given the ongoing burden of opioid overdoses, continued multipronged efforts are needed to remove barriers to buprenorphine care and increase availability of this lifesaving treatment

  • Gender Differences in Patterns and Correlates of Continued Substance Use among Patients in Methadone Maintenance Treatment

    Tomorrow D Arnold, Lewei Lin et al.ARTICLESubstance Use & Misuse2021

    Background Continued substance use is common during opioid use disorder (OUD) treatment. There are still inconsistencies in how continued substance use and concurrent patterns of substance use among patients with OUD varies by gender. There is still more to learn regarding how factors associated with continued and concurrent use might differ for men and women in methadone maintenance treatment (MMT). Methods: This cross-sectional study examined p…

  • Longitudinal within- and between-person associations of substance use, social influences, and loneliness among adolescents and emerging adults who use drugs

    Erin E Bonar, Maureen A Walton et al.ARTICLEAddiction Research & Theory2021

    Loneliness is a public health problem causing morbidity and mortality. Individuals with substance use problems are often lonelier than the general population. We evaluate the longitudinal associations between social influences, substance use, and loneliness among adolescents and young adults recruited from an urban Emergency Department (ED). We use secondary data from a natural history study of N=599 youth (ages 14-24) who used drugs at baseline …

  • Opioid Prescribing After Opioid-related Inpatient Hospitalizations by Diagnosis

    Pooja A Lagisetty, Pooja Lagisetty et al.ARTICLEMedical Care2019References: 20

    BACKGROUND: Any opioid-related hospitalization is an indicator of opioid-related harm and should ideally trigger carefully monitored decreases in opioid prescribing after inpatient stays in many, if not most, cases. However, past studies on opioid prescribing after hospitalizations have largely been limited to overdose related visits. It is unclear whether prescribing is different for other opioid-related indications such as opioid dependence and…

  • Trajectories of nonmedical use of prescription opioids among adolescents in primary care

    Lewei A Lin, Lewei Lin et al.ARTICLEAddiction Research & Theory2016

    Background: Rise in nonmedical use of prescription opioids (NMUPO) is an emerging public health problem in adolescents. To better understand risk factors for NMUPO and patterns of use over time, we examined trajectories of NMUPO among a sample of adolescents who presented to primary care clinics.Methods: Data were from 1076 adolescents ages 12–18, primarily African–American (62.6%) enrolled in a randomized controlled trial. Data were collected at…
