Testing MOUD Scale-Up

This trial will evaluate a systems-change approach to scaling medications for opioid use disorder (MOUD) across 120 prisons in 12 U.S. states. Researchers will test two promising, implementation strategies-policy academy and multisite learning collaborative-commonly used in healthcare, education, and community development. The focus on MOUD is driven by strong evidence of its efficacy, low penetration in prisons, significant health inequities among incarcerated populations, and the high risk of overdose deaths during reentry into the community.
