American Journal on Addictions (05/20/25) Lutgen, Cory B.; Callen, Elisabeth; Robertson, Elise; et al.

In all, 12 Project ECHO sessions were held over the course of a year, and 20 practices and 130 individuals participated.

Topics that saw that largest increases focused on treating patients with fentanyl or co-occurring hepatitis C virus infection, office-based treatments, and behavioral health and counseling.
