Evidence-based smoking cessation treatment: a comparison by healthcare system.
The authors surveyed general medicine providers and specialists in a large academic health center (AHC) and its affiliated Veterans Health Administration (VHA) in the Mid-South in 2017 to determine the cross-sectional association of healthcare system in which the provider practiced (AHC versus VHA) with self-reported provision of evidence-based smoking cessation treatment at least once in the past 12 months. They found that VHA healthcare providers were significantly more likely to provide evidence-based smoking cessation treatment compared to AHC healthcare providers.

Retention strategies for medications for opioid use disorder in adults: a rapid evidence review.
This AHRQ-sponsored rapid evidence review looked at studies which include interventions to improve medications for opioid use disorder (MOUD) retention. A search of MEDLINE and the Cochrane Library from February 2009 to August 2019 was conducted for systematic reviews and randomized trials of care settings, services, logistical support, continency management, HIT, extended-release (XR) formulations, and psychosocial interventions that assessed retention for at least 3 months. Two systematic reviews and 39 primary studies were included. Some studies showed initiating MOUD in soon-to-be-released incarcerated people improved retention following release. Fewer than half the studies reviewed focused on retention as a primary outcome.
