Objective
To investigate administration patterns and results of urine drug screening (UDS) to assess feasibility of UDS and patient outcomes in a telehealth-based opioid treatment (TBOT) setting.
Findings/Key points
In this cohort study of patients with opioid use disorder receiving buprenorphine in a remote care environment, UDS was highly feasible, though early UDS completion rates varied across demographic subgroups. The prevalence of unexpected UDS results was low and declined over time in treatment.

Cohort study (n=3395)
