SUMMARY:CTN Webinar: Utilizing a Robust and Comprehensive Locator Form as a Retention Tool in Clinical Trials
DESCRIPTION:Phoebe Gauthier\, MA\, MPH from the Northeast Node and Dagmar Salazar\, MS from NDAT CTN Clinical Coordinating Center will present on “Utilizing a Robust and Comprehensive Locator Form as a Retention Tool in Clinical Trials” on January 16th. \nParticipant recruitment and retention are critical aspects of conducting quality clinical research projects. The National Drug Abuse Treatment Clinical Trials Network (NDAT CTN)\, which evaluates behavioral\, pharmacological\, and integrated treatment interventions for substance use disorders\, routinely enrolls participants who may be challenging to locate during the treatment and follow-up phase of a trial. This 20-minute presentation will review one tool for increasing retention—an adapted locator form. This locator form is designed to better facilitate locating participants\, especially those with unstable living conditions or with limited contact information. Additionally\, this presentation will discuss the form elements beyond conventional locator forms and methods for collecting the information to help increase participant retention. \nLEARNING OBJECTIVES: \n· Outline the elements of a comprehensive and robust locator form.\n· Analyze procedural implications for effective implementation of the locator form.\n· Review best practices when collecting contact information with the locator form. \nThey will also be joined by presenters from the Ohio Valley Node whose theme will also focus on study participant retention strategies and tools. \nRegister here: https://cc.readytalk.com/registration/#/?meeting=oc60vlwip9eu&campaign=gi7gdsjt78ri

SUMMARY:The Doorway-NH Public Forum in Laconia\, NH
DESCRIPTION:“The Doorway-NH” program which is set to provide 24/7 access to help for substance use that is within an hour’s reach of any New Hampshire resident. In light of the opioid crisis that has disproportionally affected New Hampshire\, this program is intended to make screening\, evaluation\, and care coordination services more centralized\, available\, and accessible. The Doorway-NH program is a modified “hub and spoke” model where the doorways will serve as the “hubs” and work with local providers (“spokes”) to implement regional approaches to the opioid crisis. Residents who are looking for help with substance use disorders or how to access treatment in the state can call 2-1-1 at any time to access hub services. The nine hubs are located at each of the following locations: \nGranite Pathways – Manchester\, NH\nGranite Pathways – Nashua\, NH\nWentworth-Douglass Hospital – Dover\, NH\nDartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center – Lebanon\, NH\nLittleton Regional Healthcare – Littleton\, NH\nLakes Region General Hospital – Laconia\, NH\nCheshire Medical Center/Dartmouth-Hitchcock Keene – Keene\, NH\nConcord Hospital – Concord\, NH\nAndroscoggin Valley Hospital – Berlin\, NH \nThe Doorway-NH program is being funded by a federal Substance Abuse and Mental Health Administration (SAMHSA) State Opioid Response grant and is under the leadership of NH Governor Chris Sununu and the New Hampshire Department of Health and Human Services. \nA regional public forums will be held at Lakes Region General Hospital Cafeteria on January 15th from 3-4:30 PM for those who are interested in learning more about the program. https://www.dhhs.nh.gov/media/pr/2018/doorway.htm

SUMMARY:New Perspectives on Addiction Relapse and Recovery: An Idiographic Contextual Approach
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for a Center for Technology and Behavioral Health (CTBH) seminar with Katie Witkiewitz\, PhD \nNew Perspectives on Addiction Relapse and Recovery: An Idiographic Contextual Approach \nTopic: Treatments for alcohol use disorder (AUD) and other addictive disorders have progressed considerably over the past 30 years. Yet\, there is still lack of consensus about the prediction and prevention of returning to problematic drinking and drug use during treatment and what factors predict longer-term recovery. Definitions of relapse and recovery also vary and there is little empirical data to inform our understanding of long-term outcomes following a course of evidence-based addiction treatment. The current talk will highlight conceptual and empirical advances in the treatment of addiction\, focusing particularly on person-centered approaches to conceptualizing relapse risk and empirically evaluating changes in substance use over time. Implications for definitions of addiction recovery and future research will also be discussed. \nPresenter: Dr. Katie Witkiewitz is a Regents’ Professor of Psychology and a Scientist at the Center on Alcoholism\, Substance Abuse\, and Addictions at the University of New Mexico. The underlying theme of her research is the development of empirically-based models of addiction\, with an emphasis on applying advanced quantitative research methods to better understand changes in addictive behavior over time. Dr. Witkiewitz is also a licensed clinical psychologist and has worked extensively on the development of a theoretical model of biopsychosocial influences on alcohol and drug relapse. She has conducted numerous empirical studies on the prediction of alcohol and drug relapse\, mechanisms of successful alcohol treatment outcomes\, as well as the development of interventions to treat addiction. To date\, Dr. Witkiewitz has authored 5 books and over 175 peer-reviewed publications and book chapters\, and she has given over 110 presentations and invited talks. Her research has been supported by grants from the National Institute on Mental Health\, National Institute on Drug Abuse\, National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism\, and National Cancer Institute\, with over $20 million in research funding since 2004.\n_________________________________________________________________ \nJoin us in person or over WebEx \nClick Here to Join the WebEx Meeting\nMeeting number/Access code: 796 314 754\nMeeting password: Dartmouth1 \nJoin by phone\n1-877-668-4490 Call-in toll-free number (US/Canada)\n1-408-792-6300 Call-in toll number (US/Canada)\nAccess code: 638 501 558

SUMMARY:The Power of Perceptions and Understanding: A future without discrimination and discriminatory practices
DESCRIPTION:What would the treatment and public health landscape look like if we were to completely eradicate discriminatory practices? \nWhat steps would need to be taken to ensure this happens? \nThis presentation is part of a four-part webcast series that aims to educate healthcare professionals about the importance of using approaches that are free of discriminatory attitudes and behaviors in treating individuals with substance use disorders (SUDs) and related conditions\, as well as patients living their lives in recovery (described below). \n  \nAbout the Initiative: The Power of Perceptions and Understanding \nMillions of people in the U.S. live with a substance use disorder. In 2016\, there were 20.1 million people\, or 7.5 percent\, aged 12 or older in 2016 who had a substance use disorder in the past year. In addition\, an estimated 8.2 million U.S. adults 18 or older reported having co-occurring disorders. This means that within the previous year\, they experienced both a mental illness and a substance use disorder. \nHealth care providers are often the first contact for addressing their patient’s substance use disorder. There is ample evidence that those who have a substance use disorder often have feelings of shame that impede treatment-seeking. Therefore\, it is essential health care providers understand that negative attitudes\, beliefs and language can be barriers that prevent those in need from seeking services\, or even sharing information\, including being in recovery. \nThe Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) in partnership with Massachusetts General Hospital\, Recovery Research Institute (link is external)\, is producing a series of four webcasts to educate healthcare professionals about the problems of discriminatory practices and inaccurate perceptions present in dealing with individuals with substance use disorders (SUDs) and related conditions. The topics and panel discussions will specifically address the harm caused by the negative perceptions\, and the mitigating results of using discriminatory and prejudicial behaviors toward those who need care for substance use disorders as well as those living their lives in recovery. \nWebcasts are open to all\, but are intended to educate health care providers at all levels\, to include medical doctors\, physician assistants\, nurses\, the public health field staff\, addiction treatment professionals\, as well as behavioral health support staff. \nParticipants can earn up to 4.0 free CME/CE credits – one credit for attending each of the four one-hour webcasts. \nThe webcasts will be made available afterward on SAMHSA’s YouTube Channel.
