Data for: "Trickle-Down Burdens: The Effect of Provider Burdens on Clients' Experience"

<h3>Project Overview</h3>
<p>The data from this study are part of a broader project examining the challenges of the opioid epidemic, which is sequential and ongoing since 2017. This study extends administrative burden research—which looks at an individual’s experience of policy as onerous—into the submerged state, or the private actors working on behalf of a public purpose. Specifically, it examines the effect that meso-level burdens on third-party providers have on services.</p>
<p>The key research question driving this study is: What effect do provider burdens have on the services they provide and clients they serve?</p>
<p>The study draws on interviews, participant observation, and focus groups with substance-use disorder (SUD) service providers in New York State to map provider burdens and how they affect services that third parties offer. The provider data is supplemented with data from clients and their families about their experience with services.</p>
