Opioid Research In The June Issue

Two papers in the June issue discuss opioids.

In one, Christopher Moore Worsham and colleagues studied opioid
prescribing for adolescents

in the emergency department. They found that opioid prescribing rates
increased gradually with age but exhibited a discontinuous increase at
age eighteen, with negative consequences.

"Adults just above age eighteen were 9.7 percent more likely to receive
an opioid prescription and 12.6 percent more likely to have the
composite outcome of new opioid use disorder, long-term opioid use, or
overdose," they conclude.   

In another article, Barbara Andraka-Christou analyzed racial and ethnic
disparities in the use of medication for opioid use disorder
,
which is considered the gold standard of care. She explains that
"buprenorphine treatment is largely unavailable to people of color-the
very people who could most benefit from its lower stigma."

Today on Health Affairs Blog, Soeren Mattke and Hankyung Jun discuss
aducanumab and how the so-called "lesser of" Medicaid policy may make
this new Alzheimer's treatment economically nonviable

for administration in physician offices.

Also, William Sage argues that the Supreme Court's recent decision

in California v. Texas should be reassuring news for health care
reformers.

Yesterday the Biden administration issued its first proposed rule on the
Affordable Care Act marketplaces, providing insight into its priorities
for the marketplaces and the ACA more broadly. In a new blog post, Katie
Keith unpacks the rule
.

Elevating Voices: Pride Month: A June 2016 Health Affairs Blog post by
Kellan Baker discussed the historic rule issued by the Department of
Health and Human Services' Office for Civil Rights confirming that
Affordable Care Act Section 1557 prohibits discrimination against LGBT
people

in health insurance coverage and health care.
