This study examines how social, individual, and structural factors influence justice-involved people with opioid use disorder in starting and maintaining medication treatment during and after incarceration across rural and urban settings. This protocol provides an example of using name generators to elicit alters across multiple relationship domains and categorical and ordinal bins to capture characteristics and interactions between ego–alter pairs to understand how network composition and structure relate to treatment trajectories.
