America's perceptions of opioid related impairment: A national randomized study examining how different individuals may stigmatize addiction in response to different terminology
In this study we examined the extent to which different characteristics of the American public (i.e., age, gender, race/ethnicity, religiosity, sexual orientation, political affiliation, personal history of addiction/mental health problem) are associated with holding different types and degrees of stigmatizing beliefs when asked to consider someone treated for opioid-related impairment.

Type-switching of short-acting nicotine replacement therapy products and its implications for treatment
The frequency with which people change from one medical treatment to another partly reflects satisfaction with the initial intervention. In this secondary analysis of observational data, we explore switch rates for short-acting nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) products, which differ in mode of use, rapidity of action, and adverse effect profiles.

Interventions to reduce self-stigma in people who use drugs: A systematic review
Substance use stigma is a key barrier to treatment and harm reduction engagement among people who use drugs (PWUD). Previous systematic reviews have focused on interventions to reduce stigma in healthcare providers and the public; less is known about interventions to address self-stigma among PWUD. The purpose of this review is to evaluate the evidence for substance use self-stigma reduction interventions. (Source: Journal of Substance Abuse Treatment)

Assessing a pilot scheme of intensive support and assertive linkage in levels of engagement, retention, and recovery capital for people in recovery housing using quasi-experimental methods
This study aims to evaluate a pilot intensive recovery support (IRS) intervention for individuals (n  = 175) entering certified Level II and III recovery residences. These individuals met at least three out of five conditions (no health insurance; no driving license; substance use in the last 14 days; current unemployment; possession of less than $75 capital).

Primary care nurse practitioner work environments and emergency department utilization among older adults with substance use disorders in rural areas
The prevalence of substance use disorders (SUDs) is growing among older adults, and older adults in rural areas face disparities in access to SUD care. Rural older adults with SUDs commonly have comorbid chronic conditions that puts them at risk for frequent acute healthcare utilization. In rural areas, primary care for patients with SUDs are increasingly provided by nurse practitioners (NPs), and quality primary care services may decrease ED visits in this population. Yet, NP-delivered primary care for rural older adults with SUDs may be limited by work environment barriers, which include lack of support, autonomy, and vi...

Rural-urban disparities in the availability of hospital-based screening, medications for opioid use disorder, and addiction consult services
Hospitals are an ideal setting to stage opioid-related interventions with patients who are hospitalized due to overdose or other substance use –related complications. Transitional opioid programs—which initiate care and provide linkages upon discharge, such as screening, initiation of medications for opioid use disorder, and addiction consult services—have become the gold standard, but implementation has been uneven. The purpose of t his study was to assess disparities in the availability of hospital-based transitional opioid programs, across rural and urban hospital settings in the United States.

Racial and ethnic disparities in medication for opioid use disorder access, use, and treatment outcomes in Medicare
Overdose deaths are increasing disproportionately for minoritized populations in the United States. Disparities in substance use disorder treatment access and use have been a key contributor to this phenomenon. However, little is known about the magnitude of these disparities and the role of social determinants of health (SDOH) and provider characteristics in driving them. Our study measures the association between race and ethnicity and visits with Medication for Opioid Use Disorder (MOUD) providers, MOUD treatment conditional on a provider visit, and opioid overdose following MOUD treatment in Medicare.

Family treatment courts and the COVID-19 pandemic: Barriers and facilitators to program implementation, client engagement, and recovery
Family Treatment Courts (FTCs) serve child welfare-involved parents with substance use issues who are working toward recovery and reunification with their children. Research has linked FTCs to successful outcomes such as treatment access and completion and family reunification, but there has been less attention to factors that hinder and facilitate program implementation and client engagement. Moreover, little is known about how the shift to virtual services during the COVID-19 pandemic impacted FTC programs and the families they serve. (Source: Journal of Substance Abuse Treatment)

Latent class analysis of emergency department patients engaged in telehealth peer recovery support services and associations of identified classes with post-discharge outcomes
People with substance use disorders (SUDs) frequently use emergency department (ED) services. Despite evidence demonstrating that post-discharge SUD treatment linkage effectively reduces the number of ED re-presentations, relatively few hospitals have implemented interventions to identify and connect patients with SUDs to appropriate care. ED-based peer recovery support specialist (PRSS) interventions have emerged as a promising approach for hospitals, but more research is needed to understand the extent to which these interventions meet the needs of patients who present to the ED for different reasons and with various und...
