The TRANSFORM team will undertake a first of its kind multi-jurisdictional study using data linkages in the US (Rhode Island Wisconsin Colorado and Massachusetts) Australia (New South Wales) and the United Kingdom (Scotland). The two non-US sites involve leading researchers globally who will be able to leverage the data and methods in those jurisdictions to apply to the four US sites and develop resources that can then be applied to other US jurisdictions. The overall study objectiveis to transform the evidence base on the prevalence of OUD and the impact of OAT as a strategy to prevent opioid harm.
POST: There is a critical need for more evidence on the provision and effectiveness of prison health services including treatments for opioid dependence and HCV to reduce these disparities. Additionally the high rates of drug and suicide-related mortality after release from prison highlight the necessity for further research on health inequities that individuals experience after POST study aims to address these gaps by investigating the health social and recidivism outcomes of those who experience incarceration in New South Wales (NSW) Australia (The Prison Outcomes Study (POST)). Ultimately POST aims to inform evidence-based interventions and policies that will improve health social and recidivism outcomes for people who are currently or formerly incarcerated. Additionally POST will use real-world data to inform the delivery of treatment for opioid dependence HCV and related harms during and after incarceration.
