Rural location (vs. urban location) | 0.82 (0.50, 1.36) | 0.44 |

Constant | 17.42 (7.43, 40.85) | |
Alpha | 1.61 (1.31, 1.99) |
The likelihood ratio test for the alpha statistic was significant (p < 0.001), indicating that negative binomial regression was more appropriate than Poisson regression. Healthcare organizations included outpatient clinics not providing MOUD, hospitals, and dental clinics; these dental clinics were owned by a healthcare organization that largely provides primary care
