The problem
Intervention: Opening of medication-assisted opioid treatment programs (OTPs) in counties in Indiana after a moratorium on these programs was lifted.
Who it was tested with: Children and parents in Indiana counties where an OTP opened, with the parents' opioid use measured through methadone dispensing and overdose-related emergency visits..
Experience from people who deliver programmes: stories, case studies and lessons learned. Valuable for understanding how and why, and for spotting what to test next, but not a measure of effect.
"An administrative decision to lift a moratorium on access to these programs in Indiana created the opportunity for this study." This describes a natural experiment, but the abstract does not clearly state a comparison group, so the lower tier is assigned.
The abstract does not state a comparison group or give effect sizes beyond the 22 percent figure. It reports no measures of the children's own well-being beyond maltreatment reports and foster care placement. Results are from one US state, and the tier was set at the lower level because the design is not clear.
