Evaluating the Effectiveness of Problem-Solving Courts at Preventing Fatal and Non-fatal Opioid Events: Preliminary Findings from Indiana

This academic paper explores which interventions provided by problem solving courts and correctional facilities in the state of Indiana impact mortality and morbidity. The problem solving court, also known as a drug court, is an example of an intervention that refers individuals to treatment rather than incarceration. The authors found that the adoption of these diversion interventions was associated with lower rates of opioid-related morbidity and mortality.
