Data from the 2017 National Survey on Drug Use and Health showed that 11.4 million people in the United States admitted to misusing opioids in the year prior (Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration [SAMHSA], 2018). Opioid misuse can have serious consequences, including overdose and death. Drug overdoses involving opioids resulted in over 47,600 deaths in the U.S. during 2017, representing a 12% increase from 2016 (Scholl, Seth, Kariisa, Wilson & Baldwin, 2019). In 2017, the director of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services called the opioid epidemic a public health emergency and announced a 5-Point Strategy to Combat the Opioid Crisis. Included in these five strategies is ?improving access to treatment and recovery services? for opioid use disorder (OUD) (HHS, 2017). Among the most effective treatments for opioid use disorder is Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT). 000008031 650__ $$aOpioid-Related Disorders$$022689 000008031 650__ $$a Family Practice$$018881 000008031 650__ $$aBuprenorphine$$015903 000008031 650__ $$a Harm Reduction$$035025 000008031 650__ $$aPrimary Health Care$$024590 000008031 691__ $$aSchool of Nursing$$041370 000008031 7001_ $$aMcGarry, Maeve$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354 000008031 8564_ $$970b12381-dfb2-4ee1-8665-63b7f3e96c9e$$s523590$$uhttps://digitalcollections.ohsu.edu/record/8031/files/McGarry.Maeve.2020.pdf 000008031 905__ $$a/rest/prod/w0/89/2b/66/w0892b66g 000008031 909CO $$ooai:digitalcollections.ohsu.edu:8031$$pstudent-work 000008031 980__ $$aTheses and Dissertations
