Abstract
The ‘cascade of care’ has seen widespread uptake as a framework for measuring patient engagement in care for chronic conditions including HIV, hepatitis C and diabetes.1 Attention recently turned to its potential utility in the field of addiction care, particularly in relation to opioid use disorders (OUD) and opioid agonist treatment (OAT).2,3 The OUD cascade is now being positioned as a tool to guide public health action in epidemics of opioid addiction and overdose, in North America and elsewhere.2,3
