L’objectif

This study examined associations between clinically recognized suicidality and subsequent initiation or continuation of MOUD among patients with OUD in the national Veterans Health Administration (VA).

Constatations/points à retenir

Among VA patients with OUD, clinically recognized suicidality may increase likelihood of MOUD initiation but decrease likelihood of continuation. Efforts to increase initiation overall and to support retention for patients with suicidality are needed.
