„The HEALing Communities Study (HCS) was a $350 million 4-year multi-site, community-level, cluster-randomized wait-list controlled trial of evidence-based practices for reducing opioid overdose deaths. It did not produce statistically significant reductions in deaths (its central outcome), treatment uptake or behavioral health service delivery, but it did reduce stigma. This disappointing result should prompt serious reflection within our community.“
