JCOIN Studies

Bridging Overdose Prevention and Treatment in the Criminal Legal System

Each JCOIN study brings researchers together with justice and health stakeholders in five or more communities to address gaps in opioid use disorder treatment and related services. Their work engages a wide range of justice settings, including jails, prisons, community corrections, problem-solving courts, and juvenile justice agencies. The studies evaluate behavioral interventions, digital therapeutics, comprehensive patient-centered treatments, and delivery of medications for opioid use disorder (MOUD) throughout the United States.

In 2018-2020, JCOIN supported 15 accelerator supplement projects, which included short-term studies and surveys.
