Engagement in substance use disorder treatment after an emergency department visit among persons at high risk of opioid overdose: A prediction analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Certified peer recovery specialists (CPRS) and licensed clinical social workers (LCSWs) can facilitate substance use disorder (SUD) treatment engagement for emergency department (ED) patients at risk for overdose. Predictors of treatment engagement after such behavioral services are unknown.

Methods

This secondary analysis included Rhode Island ED patients at high risk for opioid overdose participating in a randomized controlled trial comparing the effectiveness of CPRS and LCSWs services (2018-2021). SUD treatment engagement within 90 days post-discharge was identified using statewide administrative data. Potential predictors were obtained from baseline questionnaires. Classification and regression trees (CART) were used to identify predictors of treatment engage
