The New England ATTC Harm Reduction Coordinator, Dr. Brendan Jacka, is co-hosting the Recovery Science and Harm Reduction Reading Group meeting on January 20, 2022 from 12:30 PM to 1:30 PM, in partnership with RICARES and Brown University.  This discussion will review the article "Patient Perspectives on Choosing Buprenorphine Over Methadone in an Urban, Equal-Access System".  Patient experiences and perspectives surrounding choosing buprenorphine over methadone in an urban setting were examined via qualitative and quantitative methods. The authors noted that while service delivery did not strongly affect treatment decisions between the two medications, personal experiences and community narratives about the medications guided patient decisions between buprenorphine and methadone.
