Expanding access to MOUD treatment requires a trained and willing health-care professional (HCP) workforce. Our findings highlight considerable variation in clinician knowledge of MOUD and suggest that knowledge levels are also related to negative attitudes towards patients with OUD and MOUD. Training interventions that increase knowledge, as well as focus on stigma reduction, are critical for reducing the longstanding treatment gap for opioid use disorder.
