Important work from @HuiruDong and team!
When researchers analyzed how long patients stayed on buprenorphine prescriptions, they found that the length of time had increased among white patients but decreased among Black patients since 2014 and Hispanic patients since 2009.

What will this mean for people who suddenly lose access to MOUD like methadone or buprenorphine, in the context of an increasingly toxic drug supply?
Millions who gained insurance during the pandemic are at risk of losing it as special pandemic-era policies are scheduled to wind down.

Has the "big data" revolution in social science made qualitative methods obsolete, or had no impact. Neither. It has made them more important than ever. Our new paper in @NatureHumBehav

“Be attentive and available to people who use drugs, who distrust the health care system. Create systems of care that are accessible to them and offer them long-lasting provider relationships. … meet them where they are. Deliver an actionable, tangible response to their needs.”

"Unconscionable" More than 200 people died in a single month from illicit drug toxicity in B.C. 2021 is now B.C.'s deadliest year on record (1,782), with two months yet to be tallied. https://t.co/Jg6CzrPfdX

A report from the BC Coroners Service says that from January to October, at least 1,782 people died from illicit-drug toxicity in B.C., surpassing 2020′s total of 1,765

Thanks to @pharmalot for this GREAT reporting! Those conducting research must ensure their #clinicaltrial samples are representative of the intended patient population. When this doesn't happen, they should be held to account cc @AishaLangford

The study tested Dupixent for asthma attacks in mostly white children, even though asthma takes a disproportionate toll on Black and Puerto Rican children.
