Doughty’s research interests primarily focus on the engagement of patients in substance use disorder treatment, particularly within the opioid epidemic. Current projects examine the integration of opioid use disorder treatment into primary care settings, patient preferences in deciding treatment as well as increasing treatment options in rural communities. Outside collaborators include clinicians from the Veterans Health Administration and Yale University.
