Article Synopsis
- This study focuses on understanding community perspectives regarding medication-assisted treatment (MAT) for opioid use disorder (OUD) as a means to change the conversation around this public health issue.
- Community members collaborated with researchers to develop interventions aimed at increasing awareness and promoting positive attitudes toward MAT in rural Colorado.
- Findings showed that greater exposure to these local intervention materials correlated with improved knowledge and beliefs about OUD, suggesting that community-driven strategies are effective in addressing the opioid crisis.
