What this study is testing
- What it's testing
- Problems with social functioning are core to opioid use disorder (OUD), though specific, modifiable social functioning targets and how they relate to OUD treatment outcomes are poorly understood. This study will utilize both data from both patients with OUD and their concerned significant other (CSO) to examine associations between specific social functioning metrics and OUD treatment outcomes.
