Resources
This collection of resources consists of advocacy resources, clinical guidance, legal/policy resources, research evidence, training materials / curricula, and technical guidance for reviewing and changing policies and practices to increase access to medicines for pain / palliative care and medication assisted therapy (MAT). We have consulted with and collected resources from experts in the fields of pain management / palliative care and HIV/AIDS / MAT to find examples of best policy and guidance documents for each field. DCAM’s aim is that this website is the beginning of an ever-expanding central repository for global information on access to opioid medications for pain management and MAT to serve as an information hub for advocates around the world. To send suggestions for resources we could add to this collection, send a message on our Contact page.
