Physician’s Attitudes Toward Patients With Opioid Use Disorder and Use of Medications for Opioid Use Disorder Vary by Training
The results suggest that physicians with DATA 2000 waiver and experiential training, as compared to physicians without either a waiver or experiential training in OUD, are associated with less stigmatizing views of treating patients with OUD and prescribing MOUD. While legislation in December 2022 eliminated DATA 2000 waiver training requirement, these findings suggest an ongoing need for training opportunities.
