Rates of buprenorphine prescribing and racial disparities among patients with opioid overdose
Under-prescribing of buprenorphine is high among patients with OUD and opioid overdoses, even in patients with multiple overdoses, and there appear to be racial disparities in prescribing. Our findings indicate clinical opportunities for improving buprenorphine prescribing and reducing the current disparities.
