The WECOSS’ Treatment and Recovery Pillar is conducting a needs assessment to explore strategies to enhance understanding and access to opioid agonist therapy in Windsor-Essex County.  \nOpioid agonist therapy (OAT) is an evidence-based care modality for opioid use disorder. It involves taking a medically-prescribed opioid agonist, such as methadone or buprenorphine (suboxone), to prevent withdrawal, reduce cravings for opioid drugs, and promote stability. It is one of the many services on the continuum of care for opioid use disorder that can be effective in supporting individuals in their recovery.  \nAlthough the Windsor-Essex County area has seen drastic increases in opioid-related deaths over the last five years, the rate of new users to OAT year by year has remained relatively low (WECOSS Statistics, 2025 ) . The Treatment and Recovery Pillar aims to improve access to this service by providing frontline service providers with training on identifying and supporting individuals in their care who may benefit from OAT.  \nTo inform future training opportunities, we are looking for the input of frontline service providers who work with people who use opioids on the education needs that exist as it relates to OAT and the kinds of training that would support providers in engaging their clients/patients about this service. We are also interested in learning from you about the types of training materials and delivery methods that are most relevant to frontline practice.  \nYour responses to this survey will be kept confidential. Your participation is voluntary and you may choose to skip any questions you do not wish to answer. Survey results are owned by the Windsor-Essex County Health Unit (WECHU) and stored securely by the WECHU. Results will be presented to WECOSS partners in aggregate format to inform the development and distribution of OAT training workshops for frontline providers.  \nBy answering any question in this survey, you provide your consent to participate. If you have any questions or require any additional information, please contact the WECHU at [substance@wechu.org](substance@wechu.org. Thank you)[. Thank you](substance@wechu.org. Thank you) in advance for your time and participation.  \nDemographic Questions  \nTo help us better understand your perspective, we kindly ask that you provide some demographic information.  \n1. Are you a frontline service provider that works with or directly supports people who use opioids in your role?  \na. Yes  \nb. No  \nIf yes, proceed to Question 2.  \nIf no, transfer to end message:  \nThank you for your interest in this survey.
