A research project funded by the National Institute on Drug Abuse to analyze the effects of telehealth prescribing on opioid and stimulant use outcomes among Veterans, focusing on diagnosis, treatment, and mortality.
Description
This project aims to evaluate the impact of telehealth prescribing of opioids and stimulants on Veteran health outcomes. It will analyze how telehealth influences diagnoses, treatment initiation, and mortality related to opioid and stimulant use disorders among Veterans receiving care within the Veteran Health Administration from 2020 to 2025. The study hypothesizes that telehealth prescribing has increased over time and is associated with improved patient outcomes, including treatment retention and receipt.
