Executive Summary

The Research Outcome Study in Ireland Evaluating Drug Treatment Effectiveness (ROSIE) was the first national, prospective, longitudinal drug treatment outcome study in Ireland. The primary objective of the study was to evaluate the effectiveness of treatment and other intervention strategies for opiate use in Ireland. The Study recruited 404 opiate users entering treatment. Participants were interviewed at treatment intake, 1-year and 3 years after the baseline interview. This report presents outcomes at 1-year and 3 years for the whole population and the ‘per protocol’ population i.e. participants who completed all three interviews.
