Disparities in Treatment and Referral After an Opioid Overdose Among Emergency Department Patients
JAMA Network Open
This cohort study of 1,683 patients assessed if there are racial and ethnic disparities in treatment referral rates among patients in the emergency department (ED) with opioid overdose. It found a statistically significant difference in the proportion of Black patients who received an outpatient treatment referral (5.7%) compared with White patients (9.6%). These findings suggest that Black patients presenting to the ED with opioid overdose may be less likely to receive outpatient treatment referrals, underscoring the need for targeted intervention and enhanced referral processes.
