Pair of new research papers highlights variation, benefit of opioid treatment programs

June 5, 2023
Two new research papers published in the journal Medical Care led by Vanderbilt University Medical Center faculty highlight two different areas related to opioid use treatment in women of reproductive age across several U.S. states. Both studies used similar data and study designs from a randomized field experiment where nearly 4,000 trained callers, either on public health insurance (Medicaid) or private insurance, attempted to seek appointments for treating opioid use disorder across 10 states in the U.S.
