Patient outcomes following buprenorphine treatment for opioid use disorder: A retrospective analysis of the influence of patient‐ and prescriber‐level characteristics in Massachusetts, USA
Patient- and prescriber-level characteristics appear to be associated with patient outcomes following buprenorphine treatment for opioid use disorder. In particular, patients' race/ethnicity and insurance coverage appear to be associated with substantial disparities in outcomes, and prescriber characteristics appear to be most closely associated with medication continuity during early treatment.
