Review: Sex-Based Differences in Treatment Outcomes for Persons With Opioid Use Disorder.
CONCLUSIONS: While much of the literature on this topic is subject to potential cohort effects, interventions that address co-occurring mental health conditions and psychosocial stress might improve treatment outcomes for women with OUD.
SCIENTIFIC SIGNIFICANCE: Funding agencies and researchers should focus attention toward human laboratory studies and clinical trials that are prospectively designed to assess sex-based differences in OUD recovery. (Am J Addict 2019:1-14).
