SUMMARY:The Power of Perceptions and Understanding: Reducing discriminatory practices in clinical settings
DESCRIPTION:What is the nature and extent of discrimination toward individuals with substance use disorder? \nWhat is the origin and perpetuating factors to this discrimination\, and how do we tackle the challenge of reducing discriminatory practices in healthcare settings? \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.

SUMMARY:Webinar: Implementing Recovery-Oriented Methadone Maintenance: A Clinical Quality Improvement Project
DESCRIPTION:Methadone saves lives. A large systematic review published in 2017 showed unequivocally that methadone reduces mortality among people with opioid use disorders. In the context of an opioid overdose epidemic\, all efforts should be made to expand the availability of methadone treatment services to individuals who may benefit from it. \nBut in our efforts to expand methadone’s availability\, we should not lose sight of the importance of quality. \nIn this webinar\, IRETA Executive Director Peter Luongo will summarize the principles of recovery-oriented methadone maintenance and describe an ongoing quality improvement project in several western Pennsylvania methadone programs designed to improve long-term patient outcomes.

SUMMARY:Science Series: Pharmacotherapy for Treating People with Alcohol Use Disorder\, by Dr. Mary F. Brunette
DESCRIPTION:Alcohol use disorder is a common chronic condition. Although multiple pharmacotherapies have been shown to reduce drinking in people with this disorder\, these important treatment strategies are underutilized. Dr. Mary Brunette will provide an overview of how to conduct assessments and provide evidence-based pharmacologic management for people with alcohol use disorders in primary and specialty care settings. \nDr. Mary F. Brunette is an Associate Professor of Psychiatry at Geisel School of Medicine at Dartmouth and the Medical Director of the Bureau of Mental Health Services within the New Hampshire Department of Health and Human Services. As a board-certified addiction psychiatrist\, she has been involved with research and clinical care of patients with mental illnesses and co-occurring substance use disorders for over 20 years. She has been active with both psychosocial research and clinical trials studying treatments for people with these co-occurring disorders and other disadvantaged populations. In the past few years\, she initiated a program of research on smoking cessation for people with mental illnesses\, and has been involved in studying the use of technology to increase the efficacy and expand the research of treatments for people with co-occurring disorders\, with a focus on people with severe mental illnesses in general and nicotine addiction in particular. \nThis installment of the Northeast Node’s Science Series will be available via BlueJeans.com at https://bluejeans.com/191888382 (We recommend that you visit BlueJeans.com prior to the presentation so that you can download the BlueJeans client/app). \nThis presentation will also be recorded and archived on our website\, www.ctnnortheastnode.org\, alongside previous Science Series presentations. \nWe are anticipating a large number of attendees at this session\, so please be sure to let us know if you plan to attend in person.

SUMMARY:Webinar: Cultivating Change Talk\, Part 2
DESCRIPTION:“Whether in the context of a brief intervention or in an ongoing counseling relationship\, when patients talk about their intrinsic motivation\, they are more likely to make that change. Motivational Interviewing encourages “change talk\,” language a client or patient uses that favors change. Recognizing\, responding to\, and eliciting change talk are three crucial skills practitioners must develop and apply to support clients or patients.” \nPresenter:\nAlex Waitt is a member of the Motivational Interviewing Network of Trainers (MINT) and works regionally in Western Pennsylvania and nationally supporting organizations to integrate Motivational Interviewing into their work practices\, both clinically and administratively.

SUMMARY:Appropriate Opioid Prescribing for Acute Pain after Surgery\, Dr. Richard Barth Jr.
DESCRIPTION:During this webinar\, Dr. Barth\, Chief of General Surgery at Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center\, will discuss 3 recent papers that evaluated opioid prescribing after outpatient and inpatient general surgical operations. Briefly\, the papers reported on:\n· the evaluation of variation in opioid prescribing\, how much of prescribed opioids were used (over prescription)\, and proposed prescribing guidelines;\n· the results of educating surgeons about the findings from the first paper and the observed decrease in opioid prescribing; and\n· the evaluation of opioid prescribing and use after inpatient operations; which showed that home use was best predicted by the number of pills taken the day prior to discharge.

SUMMARY:Media Parenting to Prevent Youth Health Risk Behavior by Joy Gabrielli\, PhD
DESCRIPTION:Learning outcomes: \n\n Participants will be able to discuss mental health services research methods.\n Participants will be able to use and interpret inferential and descriptive statistics. This will enable them to interpret statistical analysis presented in published research and to better interpret their own data.\nParticipants will be able to describe current research trends through visiting speakers and a review of literature. This will enable researchers to remain innovative and current in their projects.\nParticipants will be able to maintain high standards of quality\, adherence to protocols\, and high standards of data acquisition by learning to evaluate research proposals\, solve common implementation problems\, keep projects on schedule\, plan and carry out data analysis and dissemination activities.\n\nJoy Gabrielli is a clinical child psychologist and postdoctoral research fellow through the T32 “”Science of Co-Occurring Disorders”” training program. She has worked in the Dartmouth Media Lab as well as with Drs. Catherine Stanger and Lisa Marsch at the Center for Technology and Behavioral Health to identify and intervene on modifiable environmental risk factors for adolescent substance use. She has conducted studies on both media related risks for adolescent substance use and application of novel technologies to address risk factors for youth substance use youth aging out of foster care. She is particularly interested in developing interventions for youth and families to mitigate risk for youth substance use. More recently\, Joy has worked to develop a media parenting preventative intervention to support effective media management in the home setting. Her presentation will cover preliminary studies on youth exposure to alcohol marketing across media venues as well as parental R-movie restriction to reduce youth risk for alcohol use as the foundation for more recent qualitative and behavioral observation work she has done to understand features of parenting that could be targeted in future interventions. \nMobile and Electronic sign-in for CME credit will be required for Behavioral Health Research Seminar Series; SMS Activity Code: Will be provided at the Seminar \nIf you can’t attend in person\, you may join via Webex on your computer. \nMeeting number/Access code:632 747 028\nMeeting password:Dartmouth2017 \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:Science Series: Initiating Treatment of Opioid Use Disorder in the Emergency Department
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Ryan McCormack and Dr. Kathryn Hawk\nThe Emergency Department (ED) is a critical venue to initiate SUD interventions. ED patients have a disproportionately high prevalence of SUD\, are at an elevated risk of overdose\, and many do not access healthcare elsewhere. Despite this\, SUD interventions are rarely initiated in EDs. Drs. Hawk and McCormack will review common barriers to initiating treatment in the ED\, including stigma\, lack of resources\, and perceptions of SUD as chronic\, non-emergent conditions more appropriately addressed elsewhere. Drawing on recent and ongoing research\, they will describe best practices for the treatment of opioid use disorder and alcohol use disorder in the ED. Interventions to be discussed include ED-initiated buprenorphine\, extended-release naltrexone\, and naloxone distribution. \n  \nSee the Science Series for more information.
