L’objectif
This analysis sought to identify factors associated with methadone maintenance treatment (MMT) discontinuation among adolescents and young adults (AYA).
Constatations/points à retenir
MMT discontinuation was positively associated with recent weekly crystal methamphetamine use, but negatively associated with age of first “hard” drug use (per year older) and female sex. In subanalysis, recent weekly crystal methamphetamine use and weekly heroin or fentanyl use were positively associated with “actionable” MMT discontinuation, while older age was negatively associated.
La conception ou méthodologie de recherche
