High-dose buprenorphine in EDs may improve patient outcomes

The administration of high-dose buprenorphine therapy in hospital emergency departments (ED) may safely and rapidly diminish withdrawal symptoms and sustain craving suppression in people with opioid use disorder, improving their likelihood of accessing follow-up treatment, according to a study co-authored by Yale’s Gail D’Onofrio.
Buprenorphine is a medication approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to treat opioid use disorder. Giving lower doses of the medication is the current standard of care. The study found, however, that giving higher doses of buprenorphine in EDs may provide a longer period of relief to people after they are discharged, which may help them navigate barriers to access to follow-up care before they experience withdrawal symptoms.

The Rockefeller Foundation Launches $20 Million Initiative to Increase Covid-19 Vaccination Rates Among Communities of Color
April 13, 2021 GMT
NEW YORK, April 13, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- The Rockefeller Foundation announces the launch of a historic $20 million Equity-First Vaccination Initiative to improve the vaccination rate among communities of color, which have been disproportionately impacted by the Covid-19 pandemic. Representing less than one-third of the 74 million people who are now fully vaccinated in the United States, communities of color are twice as likely to die from Covid-19 and three times as likely to be hospitalized as white Americans. To close this gap, the Foundation will initially collaborate with five organizations to deploy equity-first, hyper-local public health interventions in five U.S. cities: Baltimore, Md.; Chicago, Ill.; Houston, Texas; Newark, N.J.; Oakland, Calif. During the second phase of the Initiative, the Foundation will collaborate with several national organizations to take lessons learned from the five cities and ensure that at least 70 million people of color are vaccinated by July 2021.
