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: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:SCIENCE SERIES: Using the ECHO model to treat the opioid crisis in rural Northeast America
DESCRIPTION:Please join our mailing list to receive notifications about this Science Series event! \nTopic \nClinicians can often find it both challenging and daunting to identify their role in addressing the epidemics of opioid misuse and drug overdose deaths facing the nation\, particularly in the hard-hit area of northern New England.  In an effort to engage and support clinicians in these efforts\, Maine Quality Counts (QC) and its partners in the Northern New England ECHO (NNE ECHO) initiative have used the proven “Project ECHO” model to provide direct education and support using the ECHO model of web-supported\, case-based learning.  The NNE ECHO initiative has hosted several opioid-related programs to date\, including compassionate tapering of opioids; SUD care through the perinatal period; Medications for Addiction Treatment (MAT); and bringing key community sectors together to decrease drug overdose deaths within local communities.  In this session\, Jeanne Ryer (NH Citizens Health Initiative at UNH) and Lisa Letourneau (Maine Quality Counts) will provide an introduction to the ECHO model\, and describe how their organizations have used ECHO programs to engage and support clinicians and communities in addressing the opioid epidemic. \n  \nAbout the Presenters \nDr. Lisa Letourneau is a physician leader and passionate advocate for health care system delivery change\, with a particular interest in advancing primary care and patient engagement efforts. She previously served for as Executive Director of Maine Quality Counts\, a regional health improvement collaborative\, where she led several quality improvement efforts including the Maine Aligning Forces for Quality initiative and the Maine Patient Centered Medical Home (PCMH) Pilot. Dr. Letourneau is a graduate of Brown University and the Dartmouth-Brown Program in Medicine and is a board-certified internist who practiced emergency medicine for seven years before beginning her work in clinical quality improvement. She holds a master’s degree from the Harvard School of Public Health and has a particular interest in helping to build connections between public health and clinical care\, and the role of physicians in helping to develop and lead health improvement efforts. \nJeanne Ryer is the Director of the NH Citizens Health Initiative (NHCHI)\, a multi-stakeholder statewide effort to create a system of care that promotes health\, assures quality and makes care affordable\, effective\, and accessible to all New Hampshire residents. NHCHI is a project under the NH Institute for Health Policy and Practice. \nFrom 2003 until 2011\, Jeanne was Program Director at the Endowment for Health\, New Hampshire’s statewide health foundation\, where she managed a portfolio of grants\, projects\, and policy initiatives addressing economic and geographic barriers to health. Her work focused on state and federal health system reforms\, safety net health services\, and community transportation. She led efforts to develop and implement a Mission Related Investment strategy to create the Safety Net Loan Fund\, a working capital loan fund for safety net primary care\, mental health\, and oral health clinics. Before joining the Endowment\, Jeanne served as Senior Program Officer for the New Hampshire Charitable Foundation and served as lead staff for the Lakes Region Charitable Foundation. Prior to that\, she was the principal of a consulting firm specializing in community health and human services planning and primary health care access\, focusing on the needs of the underserved in rural and remote areas. \nJeanne’s research and professional interests include population perceptions of health and well-being and the use of multi-stakeholder collaboratives in health systems transformation.

SUMMARY:Webinar: Mobile MAT in Practice
DESCRIPTION:The Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA) leadership\, in collaboration with the Comprehensive Opioid Abuse Program (COAP) team\, invites you to this no-cost webinar on January 24\, 2019\, at 2:00 p.m.\, ET. \nAbout the Webinar:\nTo address the national opioid crisis\, communities across the country are using medication-assisted treatment (MAT)\, a practice which pairs Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-Approved medications with non-drug therapies such as counseling or cognitive behavioral therapy. Employing a “whole patient” approach\, MAT is an effective and nationally recognized intervention to treat opioid abuse. Research has shown that MAT significantly increases patients’ adherence to treatment\, reduces illicit opioid use compared with non-drug approaches\, and is more effective than either behavioral intervention or medication alone. \nUnfortunately\, impediments (including availability and geography) can keep individuals who may benefit from MAT from accessing treatment. One way to combat these impediments is to create mobile MAT units.\nTo explore this innovative solution\, presenters will address topics including:\n· How is mobile MAT different than a brick-and-mortar treatment facility?\n· What services does mobile MAT provide?\n· Who can receive services\, and how are those people identified?\n· How is patient confidentiality protected?\n· How does mobile MAT fill gaps in treatment needs?\n· What obstacles were encountered in implementing the model?\n· What geographic area does mobile MAT cover? \nPresenters\nTylica S. Pope\, Director of Critical Time Intervention Program\, Medicaid Redesign Team\, Permanent Housing and Recovery Connections Opioid Mobile SUD Team at BestSelf Behavioral Health\nKelly D. Whitman\, LCSW\, Vice President of Substance Use Disorder Services at BestSelf Behavioral Health \nRegister here
