What this research studies
This research focuses on enhancing the quality of addiction treatment services in New York State, particularly for individuals with substance use disorders. It aims to implement a person-centered care approach that incorporates evidence-based practices and harm reduction principles. The project will involve collecting and analyzing data to provide feedback to treatment clinics, helping them improve their services and retain clients in care. By addressing health inequities, especially among Black and Latinx populations, the research seeks to reduce overdose deaths and improve overall treatment outcomes.

Not a fit: Patients who are not seeking treatment for substance use disorders or those outside of New York State may not benefit from this research.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this research could lead to more effective and equitable addiction treatment services, ultimately reducing overdose deaths and improving the quality of life for individuals with substance use disorders.
How similar studies have performed: Previous research has shown that person-centered care approaches can significantly improve treatment retention and outcomes in addiction services, indicating a promising direction for this project.
