A Spatial Capture-Recapture Approach for Estimating Opioid Use Disorder Prevalence in Small Areas Using Administrative Data
We propose a two-stage Bayesian hierarchical model with spatial smoothing using a capture-recapture data structure to estimate community-specific opioid use disorder (OUD) prevalence. We explicitly model the hidden prevalence of interest and the associated detection model that describes individual detection histories across data sources.
