In this Double Take video from the New England Journal of Medicine and NEJM
Knowledge+, L.J. Punch (the T St. Louis, a harm-reduction program), Sarah
Bagley (Boston Medical Center), Jennifer Foreman (Randolph Health Medical
Group), and Scott Hadland (Massachusetts General Hospital for Children) review
how primary care providers can best care for patients with opioid use disorder.
They guide clinicians on how to diagnose the disorder, build trust with patients,
offer counseling on harm reduction, and use medications to treat addiction and
withdrawal symptoms. They also emphasize the importance of reducing stigma
to improve therapeutic alliances with this patient population.

I really appreciated this approach to helping (concisely) inform my students and I about this major trend. It is well crafted, easy to follow, compelling, includes numerous diverse subject matter experts, and well researched. Keep up the good work, NEJM.
