  • Evidence-Based Advocacy for Policy Change
    methodology: evidence-based advocacy
    By grounding advocacy in long-standing clinical evidence, we produce durable policy change, because scientific legitimacy increases credibility with policymakers and health institutions.

    methodology: lived-experience leadership
    By centering leadership and membership of individuals with lived/living experience on methadone, we produce more authentic and effective advocacy, because community-led movements generate deeper policy relevance and public resonance.
