L’objectif
There is a need to understand how and why patients use diverted buprenorphine, and whether barriers to access contribute to illicit use.
Constatations/points à retenir
Although 58% of survey respondents reported a history of using diverted buprenorphine, the most frequently cited reasons for non-prescription use were consistent with therapeutic use. Diversion was partially driven by barriers to access, and an unmet need for OUD treatment persists.
