The opioid epidemic among Pennsylvania immigrants: Implications for treatment practices
We plan to interview PA immigrants who have first-hand experience with opioid abuse or who have friends/family/neighbors with opioid abuse experiences. The goal is to highlight areas for improvement, regarding access to treatment and quality of treatment for immigrants. We hypothesize that immigrant status uniquely impacts this group and their rehabilitation journeys, but this has not yet been studied.
There will be one semi-structured, qualitative interview over Zoom, for about 45 minutes. Interviews may be in-person if there is no Zoom access.
