The National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) awarded a $861,291 Project Grant under the Drug Use and Addiction Research Programs (CFDA 93.279) to New York University (NYU) to conduct a comprehensive evaluation of the impact of New York State's new Mobile Methadone Unit (MMU) program. The project, titled "NY MOVES: Evaluating the Impact of New York's Methadone Outreach Vehicles", aims to assess the reach and effectiveness of the MMU program in improving access to methadone treatment, particularly for underserved populations such as the unhoused and those living in rural areas. Using a mixed-methods and quasi-experimental design, the researchers will evaluate the program's impact on health outcomes, patient and provider experiences, and cost considerations to inform the long-term sustainability of the MMU approach.
