METHODSFrom September 2019 to March 2020, we conducted a cross-sectional survey, completed electronically or paper, of all identifiable jails in the US, the largest survey to date of US jails. 4 We assessed MOUD availability for non-pregnant individuals, including initiation in custody and continuation of pre-incarceration MOUD, medication type, dosing arrangements, barriers to MOUD, and respondent and jail characteristics. This analysis was part of a parent study of MOUD access in pregnancy in jails. 5 We analyzed responses for descriptive statistics and applying Pearson χ 2 or Wilcoxon rank sum tests.RESULTSOf 2986 surveys sent, 1139 (38%) responses were returned with 836 analyzable responses (28%). Most non-respondents were from rural counties (60%) and did not have an email address (66%). Responding jails represented a wide geographic spread, with a similar distribution in metropolitan and rural settings (Table 1). Thirty-two percent of jails reported MOUD availability in some capacity, with 29% reporting details validating MOUD availability (Table 2). Thirteen percent of all jails both initiated and continued at least one medication, 11% only continued MOUD, and 17% provided more than medication. Of the 238 jails with confirmed MOUD, 47% both initiated and continued. Fifty-nine percent of MOUD jails offered more than 1 medication. Fifty-six jails continued (6.7% of all respondents) and 13 jails initiated and continued (1.6% of all respondents) all three medications. When only 1 medication was available, the most common was naltrexone (21%) and the least was methadone (8%). The most common medication administration arrangement for buprenorphine was by a waivered jail provider (55%) and, for methadone, medications being sent or picked (34%). MOUD-providing jails were disproportionately metropolitan (60%, p< 0.01), located in the West (30%) or Midwest (31%)(p= 0.01), and utilized non-private health care service delivery (64%, p< 0.01). The most frequently reported barriers to providing MOUD in jail included concerns regarding medication diversion (40%), cost of MOUD (36%), and Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) prescribing regulations (28%); respondents reporting cost as a barrier were more likely to have decision-making roles (p= 0.05).
