Objective
Little research has examined the association between urine drug screening (UDS) modality and retention in opioid treatment providers (OTPs).
Findings/Key points
Findings showed an association between high utilization of randomized and observed UDS and decreased long-term retention, suggesting that UDS modality may impact long-term OTP retention.
Design/methods
This cross-sectional study uses the 2016-2017 NDATSS wave among OTPs that administered methadone (n=150).
