First seen Dec 12, 2025 · Last updated Jun 22, 2026 · Updated 28 times

Summary

This study tests a health system strategy called SAIA to improve care for people with opioid use disorder as they leave jail and connect to community clinics. Researchers will work with jail and clinic staff to identify bottlenecks and improve treatment continuity. The study involves over 4,000 adults leaving King County jails who are on medication for opioid use disorder. The goal is to see if this approach increases the number of people who link to care within 30 days and stay in treatment.
