Abstract

In 2017, Pennsylvania designated 45 primary care practices, hospitals, community health centers, and substance use disorder treatment providers as centers of excellence because they were taking a holistic approach to OUD treatment. This grant will examine how these providers have responded to COVID-19 policies related to MOUD provision and telehealth services to determine the effects on service provision, workforce attitudes, and patient outcomes.
