MOUD CLINIC RESEARCH EXCHANGE
About the STARS MOUD Clinic Research Exchange
The STARS (Studies To Advance Recovery Support) MOUD (Medication for Opioid Use Disorder) Clinic Research Exchange is a practice-based research network that aims to advance research on behavioral interventions and other support services that can facilitate treatment and recovery among individuals with OUD. The Exchange is comprised of clinics that provide MOUD/medication-assisted treatment (MAT), including opioid treatment programs (OTPs) and office-based opioid treatment (OBOT) programs, across Central Appalachia.
We believe that collaborative, community-engaged research will discover effective solutions, faster.
