The project is “Improving Outcome and Equity for Released Prisoners with Substance Use Disorders (SUD): Trajectories of Participation in Pre-Release and Post-Release Medication for Opioid Use Disorders (MOUD), and Outcomes“.

Pre-release MOUD and peer navigation (PN) represent promising strategies for improving re-entry outcomes, but there is great need for better understanding of implementation, utilization, and outcomes of these interventions.
