Social Determinants of Health and Continuity of Medications for Opioid Use Disorder Among Patients Receiving Treatment in Rural Primary Care Settings

Living in more disadvantaged areas and having more than an hour (compared with an hour or less) driving time from home to clinic were associated with fewer MOUD days. Using telehealth was associated with more MOUD days. In this cohort, 21.7% of the participants were retained on MOUD for at least 180 days. SDoH and use of telehealth were not associated with having continuity of MOUD.
