SUMMARY:Racial Inequities in Substance Use
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Dr. Michelle Durham\, MD\, MPH\, FAPA\, DFAACAP \nUntreated substance use disorders contribute to thousands of deaths each year. Although there are treatments available\, many communities have not accessed them. The reasons for this are multifactorial including stigma\, mistrust\, discrimination\, racism and criminalization of substance use. This activity will highlight the inequities in substance use treatment including federal and state policies that have influenced the criminalization of substance use. The webinar will include strategies for assessing\, diagnosing and treating substance use disorders in racial and ethnic minorities. Funding for this initiative was made possible (in part) by grant no. 1H79TI081968 from SAMHSA. The views expressed in written conference materials or publications and by speakers and moderators do not necessarily reflect the official policies of the Department of Health and Human Services; nor does mention of trade names\, commercial practices\, or organizations imply endorsement by the U.S. \nRegister

SUMMARY:Grand Rounds: Women\, Opioid Use\, and Addiction: The Continuing Epidemic
DESCRIPTION:Carolyn M. Mazure is the Norma Weinberg Spungen and Joan Lebson Bildner Professor in Women’s Health Research\, and Professor of Psychiatry and Psychology. She is a national pioneer and leader in studying the health of women and the sex and gender differences that affect health outcomes. Dr. Mazure’s work has influenced science\, clinical care\, and policy. She created and directs Yale’s interdisciplinary research center on the health of women and the interplay of sex\, gender\, and health— Women’s Health Research at Yale. \nAfter three years at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and fellowship training at Yale\, Dr. Mazure was invited to join the Yale faculty — becoming an active clinician\, a researcher funded by the NIH\, and Director of Psychiatry’s Adult Inpatient Program at Yale New Haven Hospital. \nHer contributions in women’s health began with her own internationally recognized research in depression. Focusing on the gender differences in this disorder\, she was the first to demonstrate how stress is a more potent pathway to depression in women than men and use these findings to inform treatment interventions. Her current research targets behavioral and neurobiological factors that contribute to sex and gender differences in health outcomes. These efforts are designed to provide gender-based strategies for treatment and prevention. \nUnderstanding the value of uncovering sex-and-gender differences in depression\, combined with recognizing that such data are sorely lacking in other fields\, she created Women’s Health Research at Yale. Since its inception in 1998\, the center has been honored as a national model for launching research on the influence of sex and gender on human health\, translating findings into practice\, providing mentored training\, and asserting a national voice on the importance of studying women. Currently\, the center is expanding to include a focus on health policy and the value of public-private partnerships to advance the health and economic opportunities of women. \nDr. Mazure has served on multiple NIH and international grant review committees and as a member of the Advisory Committee for the NIH Office for Research on Women’s Health. She has provided testimony to the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives on the importance of research on the health of women. She has served on the planning committee for the First White House Conference on Mental Health and was a fellow for the U.S. Congress’ Committee on Oversight and Government Reform. \nHer scientific\, educational\, and administrative leadership roles include Associate Dean for Faculty at Yale School of Medicine from 2002 to 2014\, Scientific Director of NIH-funded SCOR(E) interdisciplinary research grants\, Principal Investigator of NIH-funded junior faculty training grants\, consultant to the Yale Tobacco Center of Regulatory Science\, and a member of the Advisory Board of the Yale Center for Biomedical Innovation and Technology\, an interdisciplinary initiative to foster medical technology advances. \nShe has been an invited speaker at diverse venues\, such as NASA\, the Smithsonian Institution\, and the Sorbonne and has been a featured expert on ABC’s “Prime Time Live” and in the BBC documentary “The Science of Stress.” Her edited books include “Does Stress Cause Psychiatric Illness?” and “Understanding Depression in Women: Applying Empirical Research to Practice and Policy.” \nHer national honors include the Marion Spencer Fay Award from the Institute for Women’s Health and Leadership\, the American Psychological Association Distinguished Leadership Award from the Committee on Women in Psychology\, the Elizabeth Blackwell Award from the National Organization for Women\, a U.S. Public Health Fellowship\, and Yale’s Stephen Fleck Clinician and Teacher Award\, and the Sidney J. Blatt Award for excellence in clinical care\, teaching\, and research. \nVirtual Zoom Meeting Link-Click HERE

SUMMARY:A Marketing Perspective on How To Reach Vulnerable Populations and Build up Long-term Relationships with Self-services in a Digital Health Context
DESCRIPTION:About Professor Dr. Florian von Wangenheim\nFlorian von Wangenheim is Professor of Technology Marketing\, Department of Management\, Technology\, and Economics at ETH Zürich. His doctoral degree is from the University of Mainz\, Germany (2002). Before joining ETHZ in 2013\, he was a Professor of Service and Technology Marketing at the TUM Business School\, Technische Universität München\, a junior professor of services management at the University of Dortmund\, Germany\, and a visiting professor of marketing and services at the University of Passau\, Germany. Currently\, Florian von Wangenheim serves as a panel chair for the European Research Council (Starting Grants)\, is the Jury President for the Swiss Technology Award by the Swiss Economic Forum\, and is Head of Department of Management\, Technology and Economics at ETH Zurich. His research focuses on the consequences of service technologies that replace and complement human interaction in service delivery\, such as Remote and Teleservices\, Self-Services\, Robots and Chatbots\, and other interactive technology systems in contexts such as industrial\, health and financial services. He is Associate Editor of the Journal of Service Research and serves on the editorial board of the Journal of Marketing and the Journal of Business Research. For his work\, he has received several best paper awards from the American Marketing Association\, and various research awards. Most of his research projects are conducted with public and industry partners. \nAbout the Lecture\nThe lecture will cover marketing basics and insights as they relate or may relate to digital and mobile health. It departs from the notion that recent developments in both\, marketing and health care\, have shifted research attention to how customers/patients create value through their own action\, rather than being passive recipients of a treatment/medication. In this spirit\, we will deal with the segmentation and targeting issue of vulnerable populations\, which in marketing and economics literature\, has parallels in the discussion of adverse selection. Finally\, Florian von Wangenheim will discuss the marketing engagement literature and how it might relate to the central task of engaging patients. \nZoom: https://ethz.zoom.us/j/96630138109 \nMore details on our website

SUMMARY:Part 1: Improving Outcome by Recognizing and Responding to Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders (FASD) in Individuals in Treatment
DESCRIPTION:When an individual has behaviors that cause difficulty in treatment settings\, we often label the person as being non-compliant\, unmotivated\, or disruptive. When they are back in treatment numerous times\, we say that they are not ready for sobriety. However\, their behavior may well be due to brain damage caused by prenatal alcohol exposure\, which is much more common than most people suspect. Due to this damage\, which spans the intellectual spectrum\, evidence based practices that rely on verbal interactions and reward and consequence systems are often not successful with them and set them up to fail. The majority of those with an FASD are not diagnosed and many have been misdiagnosed. As a result\, typical interventions for them in substance use and mental health treatment\, corrections\, child welfare\, and other systems of care are often ineffective and are frequently contraindicated. \nThis presentation addresses the importance of recognizing an FASD in those with whom we work or live. The brain damage seen in FASD is examined\, along with common behaviors that result from this damage. A method of identifying those with an FASD is identified and how to modify treatment is touched on. \nPresented by: Dan Dubovsky\, MSW \nRegister Here

SUMMARY:Smartphone-based Financial Incentives to Promote Smoking Cessation Among Pregnant Women
DESCRIPTION:Summary: Maternal smoking is the leading cause of poor birth outcomes\, increases the risk for adverse neonatal outcomes\, and is associated with the development of chronic health conditions later in life. Additionally\, maternal smoking during pregnancy involves a substantial economic toll. Although effective smoking cessation treatments for pregnant women are sparse\, one exception to this is financial incentives-based interventions. This webinar will review the research\, development\, and outcomes produced by an innovative\, remotely-delivered financial incentives intervention for reducing cigarette smoking during pregnancy. Participants will: \n\nHear about Dr. Kurti’s research developing and implementing a smartphone-based financial incentives intervention for reducing smoking among pregnant women.\nIdentify key components of financial incentives interventions\, and how they can be delivered via smartphone.\nLearn how to obtain biochemical verification of abstinence in interventions for substance use that are delivered remotely.\nLearn how smartphone-based or other remotely-delivered interventions can expand treatment access to rural-dwelling or other historically under-served populations.\n\nPresenter: Allison Kurti\, PhD\, Health Scientist\, FDA Center for Tobacco Products \nRegister

SUMMARY:Practical Harm Reduction: Myths\, Facts\, and Practices
DESCRIPTION:Description\nHarm reduction practices in the addiction recovery field are often misunderstood and carry a stigma with them. Professionals who work in these programs know their value\, but more traditional addiction professionals often think of harm reduction practices as being “enabling” or being undermining of “real recovery.” Harm reduction\, however\, is grounded in theory and practices that help people to get better and reduce the problems associated with the use of substances. This training will review the grounded theories and practices that make harm reduction implementable in any environment and will encourage addiction professionals to increase openness to these practices. \nLearning Objectives\n\nIdentify two commonly utilized theoretical orientations that support harm reduction principles and practices.\nIdentify three implementable harm reduction practices in the addiction recovery field.\nIdentify two barriers to implementation of harm reduction practices and a method to overcome each barrier.\n\nPrice\nEducation is FREE to all professionals \nEarn 2 Continuing Education Hours (CEs)\nThe CE certificate for this webinar will be available after the webinar takes place. NAADAC Members will be prompted to register for the CE quiz for free\, while non-members will be prompted to pay a $25 processing fee to access the quiz.

SUMMARY:A Multigenerational Approach to Prevention & Treatment of Substance Use Disorders
DESCRIPTION:Summary: Through both environmental and genetic factors\, substance use disorders frequently perpetuate from one generation to another within families. Treating individuals struggling with a substance use disorder in isolation often represents a missed opportunity to provide both treatment and preventive measures for others in their family who have been directly impacted by\, are at risk for or also struggle with a substance use disorder. Participants will: \n\nRecognize the role genes and shared environment play in multigenerational perpetuation of substance use disorder\nUnderstand familial risk factors for substance use\nIdentify key stages of the individual and family life-cycle for multigenerational interventions\nIncrease confidence in being able to invite family members to support treatment and participate in preventive measures\nRecognize opportunities for prevention of further harm from substance use disorders\, no matter the age or life stage of the individual whom they are treating.\n\nPresenter: Peter Jackson\, MD\, Assistant Professor of Psychiatry\, UVM Larner College of Medicine\, Burlington\, VT \n Register

SUMMARY:Adolescents with Co-Occurring Disorders: Already in our Care
DESCRIPTION:Description\nAdolescence is a unique and active period of development. Differential diagnostic understanding and treatment is complicated\, specialized\, and vital. Often\, protective change and treatment progress can be stalled by unrecognized areas of risk and need. As many as 40% of adolescents with identified mental health needs have co-occurring substance use issues. Identified substance use needs predict co-occurring mental health disorders over 70% of the time. Treatment retention and progress\, safety factors\, and beneficial change are all improved with integrated applications. This integrative approach can be initially daunting for clinicians. Adolescents with CODs are already in our care – and integrating care provides the better opportunity for healthy changes for youth and families. \nLearning Objectives\n\nDescribe current research regarding youth with co-occurring disorders – including prevalence(s) – and list factors that differentiate youth from adults.\nDescribe how physical\, social\, and personality development factors during adolescents can be dramatically impacted by substance use/abuse\, trauma/victimization and mental health disorders.\nDescribe screening and assessment from an integrated perspective.\n\nPrice\nEducation is FREE to all professionals \nEarn 1.5 Continuing Education Hours (CEs)\nThe CE certificate for this webinar will be available after the webinar takes place. NAADAC Members will be prompted to register for the CE quiz for free\, while non-members will be prompted to pay a $20 processing fee to access the quiz. Upon passing the CE quiz\, a CE Certificate will be immediately available to download in your profile.
