Abstract: Background: Peer recovery specialists (PRSs) are substance use service providers with lived experience in recovery. Although a large body of research demonstrates the efficacy of medications for opioid use disorder (MOUD), emerging research suggests PRSs' attitudes toward MOUD are ambivalent or mixed. Few studies have quantitatively assessed factors influencing PRSs' attitudes. Objectives: This study identifies personal and professional characteristics associated with attitudes toward MOUD among PRSs. Methods: PRSs working at publicly funded agencies in Michigan completed a self-administered web-based survey (N = 266, 60.5% women). Surveys assessed socio-demographics, treatment and recovery history, attitudes toward clients, and attitudes toward MOUD. Multiple linear regression was used to identify factors associated with attitudes toward MOUD. Results: A minority of PRSs (21.4%) reported a history of treatment with MOUD, while nearly two-thirds reported current 12-step involvement (62.5%). Compared to PRSs without a history of MOUD treatment, PRSs who had positive (b = 4.71, p <.001) and mixed (b = 3.36, p =.010) experiences with MOUD had more positive attitudes; PRSs with negative experiences with MOUD had less positive attitudes (b = −3.16, p =.003). Current 12-step involvement (b = −1.63, p =.007) and more stigmatizing attitudes toward clients (b = −.294, p <.001) were associated with less positive attitudes toward MOUD. Black PRSs had less positive attitudes than White PRSs (b = −2.50, p =.001), and women had more positive attitudes than men (b = 1.19, p =.038). Conclusion: PRSs' attitudes toward MOUD varied based on the nature of their lived experience. Findings highlight considerations for training and supervising PRSs who serve individuals with opioid use disorder. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
