Exploring Barriers and Facilitators to the Use of Medications for Opioid Use Disorders (MOUD) (3 2.)

Although prior research has demonstrated the effectiveness of medications for opioid use (MOUD), there are a number of barriers that impede the use of MOUD. The JEAP Initiative, a NIDA-funded project, will hold a free virtual 3-part forum series focused on MOUD. This forum series will identify barriers and facilitators to the use of MOUD from the perspective of recipients of MOUD, providers of MOUD, and investigators in the MOUD field. This forum is intended to be a place where ideas and views can be exchanged in a supportive environment, with the emphasis on encouraging new or expanded research on MOUD. The October session in this series will be a group discussion of a key publication and documentary about MOUD.
