COVID-19 Pandemic Mitigation, Community Economic and Social Vulnerability, and Opioid Use Disorder
The goal of this study is to leverage large comprehensive claims and electronic health data, capturing nearly half of the U.S. population from before the pandemic through 2026, to test our hypothesis that social and economic vulnerabilities, as well as economic side effects of the pandemic will escalate the prevalence of OUD and related harms.
