Social work graduate research cited in BDN editorial
Research conducted last year by a group of graduate students in the University of Maine’s social work program was mentioned in the Bangor Daily News editorial, “One way to address Maine’s drug epidemic: Maximize treatment access we already have.” The students reached out to the physicians in Maine who are listed by the U.S. Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration as buprenorphine prescribers. Forty-three confirmed they’re prescribing the medication, 42 confirmed they weren’t, 27 failed to respond and two physicians on the list were deceased, according to the editorial.
