Development and Evaluation of a Community-Based Buprenorphine Treatment Intervention

This is an academic paper that evaluates an intervention to deliver buprenorphine treatment in harm reduction organizations in New York City to those that are not seeking treatment. Although the study design was not rigorous, findings include increased organizational education on buprenorphine but no increase in initiation of buprenorphine, suggesting that more active outreach is necessary.
