Satisfaction with Group-Based Appointments among Patients with Opioid Use Disorder in An Urban Buprenorphine Clinic
Background: Successful implementation of group-based appointments can increase capacity to treat patients, reduce costs, and improve productivity. We sought to understand the acceptability of group-based appointments for opioid use disorder (OUD) in an urban clinical setting that treats predominantly ethnic minority populations. Methods: A survey collecting data on demographics, substance use, co-morbid psychiatric conditions, and satisfaction with group-based opioid treatment (GBOT) was conducted among patients 18 years and older with OUD attending an urban buprenorphine clinic between December 2019 and February 2020. Results: Thirty-nine patient surveys were completed. Among participants, 64.1% identified as Black/African American and 76.9% identified as male. The mean age was 51.2 years. Participants reported overall high levels of satisfaction with group-based appointments though GBOT was not strongly preferred over individual visits. On a 5-point Likert scale, 69.2% of participants agreed or strongly agreed that their medical needs were met during group-based appointments. A majority of participants agreed or strongly agreed that medical information received from the clinical team (97.4%) and other patients (82.1%) were valuable. Most participants (82.1%) reported adherence to treatment plans became easier since attending GBOT. Age and self-identified employment status as disabled or retired were positively associated with total satisfaction scores. Conclusions: Patients in a predominantly Black/African American and Hispanic/Latinx community with co-occurring mental health disorders and other substance use reported overall satisfaction with GBOT and would recommend this modality to other patients.
