Objective
This study aims to identify social correlates of OUD treatment outcomes from five key areas of social determinants separately for men and women receiving buprenorphine for OUD.
Findings/Key points
Women were significantly younger, more likely to live in a safe neighborhood, and less likely to be employed or have substance use recurrence during the study period than men. For women, employment and education were negatively associated with treatment retention. For men, no social factors were associated with OUD outcomes.
