Very much looking forward to participating in this FORE webinar today and sharing some of our emerging findings from exploring the effects of Medicaid unwinding on buprenorphine treatment for opioid use disorder More info/ registration link at forefdn.org/webinar-medi...

So encouraging yesterday to see the bipartisan commitment to tackling the opioid crisis in action at the Senate Special Committee on Aging. It was an honor to share RAND research with Congress and speak about the unique needs of the millions of older Americans who are affected.

Thrilled to have the opportunity to testify today before the U.S. Senate Special Committee on Aging and share thoughts about addressing some of the challenges the opioid crisis is presenting for older Americans. Catch the livestream here at 3:30 ET: www.aging.senate.gov/hearings/com...
