About

The Geographic variation in Addiction Treatment Experiences (GATE) study aims to learn how people involved with the criminal justice system decide to initiate and/or continue to use medication for the treatment of opioid use disorder (MOUD) in rural and urban communities.

We ask both professionals and people with opioid use disorder about their experiences with medication treatment in prison and in their home towns. There are no medical procedures involved with the GATE study. Any answers provided by participants are private and protected by study staff. Information provided to GATE study staff cannot be shared with anyone, including the Department of Corrections.

The GATE study will help us to address the opioid epidemic through research that will identify ways to improve access to MOUD in prisons and local communities.

This project is funded by the National Institute on Drug Abuse (Grant #: R01DA048876). This study is a collaboration between researchers at the University of Kentucky and Indiana University. The Principal Investigator is Dr. Carrie Oser from the University of Kentucky.
