Identifying Priority Areas for Increasing the Supply of Medication-Assisted Treatments for Opioid Use Disorder: A Geospatial Approach

摘要

The opioid epidemic has disproportionately affected several areas across the United States (US), with research indicating that these areas may be underserved and lack access to sufficient medication-assisted treatment (MAT) options. The objective of this study was to introduce a geospatial analytical framework for identifying sub-state priority areas to target federal allocation of MAT training and resources.
