What this research studies
From a patient's point of view, this center pulls together existing health data and uses simulation models to see which programs work best in real communities. It provides expert advice to local projects so they can apply rigorous cost analyses and behavioral economics when changing services. The team also does original modeling and economic research to better understand and address the overdose crisis. Local patients usually interact with the work through partner programs that implement the center's recommendations.
Who could benefit from this research
Good fit: People living with opioid use disorder or at risk of overdose, and the programs that serve them, are the main groups who could benefit from this center's work.
Not a fit: People without opioid-related concerns or those seeking direct experimental drug treatments are unlikely to receive direct benefit from this modeling and economic support center.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, the work could help health systems deliver more effective and affordable overdose prevention and OUD treatment services, which may reduce overdoses and improve recovery outcomes.
How similar studies have performed: Related centers and prior work by this team (such as the CHERISH center) have successfully used economic and simulation modeling to inform policy and service delivery improvements.
