L’objectif
The objective of this study was to identify variables associated with buprenorphine/naloxone retention among Alaska Native and American Indian people with opioid use disorder
Constatations/points à retenir
We found that 63% of the 240 patients were retained in buprenorphine/naloxone treatment at 90 days, 51% at 6 months, and 40% at 1 year, slightly lower than the general US population. Younger patients and those with co-occurring substance use remain at higher risk of discontinuing buprenorphine/naloxone treatment for OUD in this population of ANAI people. Our study highlights the need to address poly-substance use among ANAI people in treatment.
