Response to a peer telehealth intervention for emergency department patients presenting with opioid use disorder or unintentional overdose: a stratified interrupted time series analysis
Although there was no detectable difference in overall ED revisits following program implementation, outcomes of stratified analyses suggested that the program may have been more impactful for females vs. males. Future research should examine the underlying mechanism of the observed sex differences to target behavioral change more effectively for all participants of telehealth PRSS services in ED settings.
