Looking forward to @AHSR2026 in #SaltLakeCity! Did you know attendees can get from the (NEW!) #SaltLakeCityAirport on the Trax!?! No cab or uber needed! Its a 25 minute ride on the TRAX Green Line from Airport to Courthouse station ... $2.50 a person! Avoid making more smog. #AHSR2026 = EcoFriendly!

I'm still proud of my service, even while all around me are worried about how others value this service.
I'm a federal employee for ~25 years. I could have been paid 2-3x more in the private sector. I choose government service as a physician to take care of Veterans who are homeless & who have substance use disorders. Many colleagues have followed me into this service. I am a proud federal employee.

An effect of federal downsizing: a VA steward was released: she facilitated the voices of patients with opioid addiction to provide valuable feedback to VA investigators to address opioid addiction among veterans. She championed Veteran voices. We are losing people that impact Veteran outcomes.

Rural VA patients with OUD are less likely to receive methadone or naltrexone but more likely to get buprenorphine compared to urban peers. Equitable access to MOUD remains a challenge. Learn more: https://buff.ly/4gKf4Nq #PsychSciSky #AddictionSci #DrugSky

3/ Even in counties with high opioid overdose rates, the removal of the X-waiver didn't significantly impact buprenorphine access.

2/ We explored if removing the X-waiver improved treatment access by examining whether buprenorphine prescriptions increased in counties with higher OD rates and fewer waivered prescribers compared to others. We found no significant effect of the X-waiver elimination on buprenorphine dispensation
