Research survey aimed at physicians, physician's assistants and nurse practitioners to help combat the state's opioid epidemic.

This survey is a joint effort of the WV Department of Health and Human Resources, Marshall Health, WV School of Osteopathic Medicine, and West Virginia University under the direction of Garrett Moran, PhD at WVU and Lyn O’Connell, PhD, at Marshall Health. Funding for the project was provided by the West Virginia Department of Health and Human Resources and the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMSHA). Your participation in this project is greatly appreciated and it will take no more than about 10 minutes to complete the attached questionnaire. The data gathered will help address factors that limit the availability of MAT for opioid use disorder in West Virginia.
