L’objectif

This scoping review synthesizes barriers and facilitators to buprenorphine initiation in the ED, and uses the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research and a critical lens to analyze the literature. 

Constatations/points à retenir

Results demonstrate an immense effort across the U.S. and Canada to implement ED-initiated buprenorphine. Facilitators include multidisciplinary addiction teams and co-located, low-barrier, harm reduction-informed services to support transitions. Barriers include a failure to address structural stigma, client complexity, and an increasingly toxic drug supply. 

La conception ou méthodologie de recherche

A scoping review, drawing on social constructionist research paradigm, was conducted. The core research team was an interdisciplinary group of six who also consulted an advisory panel consisting of people with lived/living experience and ED clinicians.
