The August 2023 issue of the American Journal of Health Economics will feature a cluster of articles that examine the opioid crisis. These articles consider such topics as access to treatment for opioid use, the impact of the Affordable Care Act on opioid-related emergency department visits, and the effectiveness of prescription drug monitoring programs. In " Do Policies to Increase Access to Treatment for Opioid Use Disorder Work? " authors Leemore S. Dafny, Eric Barrette, and Karen Shen use longitudinal patient-level claims data to examine the impact of demand and supply-side policies on treatment rates among patients diagnosed with opioid use disorder (OUD) from 2009-2017.
