Public Health Interventions and Overdose-Related Outcomes Among Persons With Opioid Use Disorder.

ABSTRACT:

Importance

Given the high number of opioid overdose deaths in the US and the complex epidemiology of opioid use disorder (OUD), systems models can serve as a tool to identify opportunities for public health interventions.

Objective

To estimate the projected 3-year association between public health interventions and opioid overdose-related outcomes among persons with OUD.

Design, setting, and participants

This decision analytical model used a simulation model of the estimated US population aged 12 years and older with OUD that was developed and analyzed between January 2019 and December 2023. The model was parameterized and calibrated using 2019 to 2020 data and used to estimate the relative change in outcomes associated with simulated public health interventions imple
