SUMMARY:NIH (virtual) Workshop - Digital Health Interventions from Wellness to Therapeutics: Development and Dissemination
DESCRIPTION:Registration is now open for the NIH Digital Health Interventions Workshop!  \nPlease CLICK HERE for more information regarding the workshop’s agenda\, registration\, speaker bios\, the planning committee\, and who to contact should you have questions. \nDescription:\nThe goal of this workshop is to explore the issues around the design\, development\, and dissemination of digital health interventions. Digital interventions\, accessed via mobile devices or personal computers\, have been a growing part of the healthcare landscape over the last decade. The Covid pandemic has served to underscore the value of remotely delivered interventions. While there are thousands of interventions currently available to the public\, many of them have never been tested for efficacy. However\, the number of validated interventions is growing\, with some now authorized by the FDA and others being utilized by health organizations following rigorous testing. These technologies cover a broad range of therapeutic areas\, including mental health\, metabolic disease\, substance use\, and more. Their potential to promote public health and wellbeing is only beginning to be tapped. As digital health interventions become more ubiquitous and the industry continues to see tremendous growth\, academic investigators have a significant opportunity available to them to create engaging\, effective\, and ultimately the wide adoption of new digital health interventions. This workshop seeks to elucidate the pathways\, requirements\, and capabilities needed to develop and sustain effective digital health interventions. \nThis workshop is sponsored by: \n\nNational Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA)\nNational Cancer Institute (NCI)\nNational Institute on Aging (NIA)\nNational Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA)\nNational Institute on Mental Health (NIMH)\nOffice of Behavioral and Social Sciences Research (OBSSR)

SUMMARY:Emergency Department-Initiated Buprenorphine for Opioid Use Disorder
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER HERE FOR THIS WEBINAR \nAbout the Webinar:\nThis webinar\, presented by Gail D’Onofrio\, MD\, will focus on the crucial role of the emergency department (ED) in recognizing and treating opioid use disorder (OUD) patients with evidence-based medications for addiction treatment. The opioid epidemic combined with the COVID-19 pandemic has greatly escalated the need to mitigate the morbidity and mortality associated with rising rates of fentanyl use. Dr. D’Onofrio will share data supporting the use of buprenorphine in the ED and discuss the consequences of not initiating treatment\, barriers to implementation of ED buprenorphine\, and components of successful integration of an ED program with community partnerships. She will also share current research by emergency physicians regarding innovative strategies like high-dose induction and use of an extended release 7-day formulation of buprenorphine.  \nLearning Objectives: \n• Evaluate at least 2 outcomes for opioid use disorder in patients receiving buprenorphine through the Emergency Department and discuss supporting evidence \n• Identify at least 2 barriers and 2 solutions to initiating buprenorphine in the Emergency Department \n• Apply at least 2 harm reduction strategies and components of the buprenorphine integration pathway \n• Propose at least 2 innovative solutions for buprenorphine induction in the ED including different formulations of buprenorphine and high dose strategies  \n1.5 CME or CE credits are available.

SUMMARY:Suicide Prevention Across the Lifespan
DESCRIPTION:For National Prevention Week\, join us for a panel discussion on suicide prevention throughout the lifespan. In this discussion\, panelists will share research on interventions and emerging trends in suicide prevention from adolescence through older adulthood. Discussion will also address trends across racial and ethnic groups\, considerations for working with LGBTQ+ populations\, and the role of peer support in suicide. \nABOUT THE SPEAKERS \nShirley Yen\, Ph.D.\, is an Associate Professor in the Department of Psychiatry at Harvard Medical School at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center\, and the Training Director of the clinical psychology internship program at the Massachusetts Mental Health Center. Dr. Yen’s research focuses on identifying risk factors and developing interventions for suicidal behaviors in adolescents and adults. Dr. Yen has been an NIMH-funded investigator for the past 20+ years\, and has authored over 130 peer-reviewed publications. As an investigator on prospective\, longitudinal studies of youth with bipolar disorder\, adults with personality disorders\, and suicidal adolescents\, Dr. Yen has examined prospective predictors of suicidal behavior. Dr. Yen’s research has also focused on translational work towards developing interventions to reduce suicidal behaviors. She was recently awarded an R01 from the National Institute of Mental Health\, to test the effectiveness of a new intervention she developed\, Skills to Enhance Positivity (STEP)\, in reducing suicidal behaviors in acutely suicidal adolescents. She is currently completing a short-term mixed-method prospective study using daily diary ratings that examines mechanisms of risk for suicidal and self-injurious ideation in sexual and gender minority youth\, and a pilot adaptation of a yoga-based intervention for adolescents with depression. \nTimothy Schmutte\, Psy.D.\, is a clinical psychologist and mental health services researcher with a longstanding interest in older adults and suicide prevention. As an Assistant Professor at the Yale Program for Recovery and Community Health in the Department of Psychiatry at Yale University\, his current research focuses on improving the quality of care provided to patients with high risk for suicide. For his research\, Dr. Schmutte uses national data to examine the service use patterns and outcomes of older adults treated for suicidal thoughts and acts in acute care settings as well as to identify risk and protective factors for suicide shortly following a diagnosis of dementia. He is also currently helping to develop a peer-based intervention to help Veterans with high suicide risk as well as a clinical decision support tool for emergency department physicians in treating patients with high suicide risk. \nCheryl Gagne\, Sc.D.\, is a Senior Associate at C4 Innovations and directs a training program for Massachusetts addiction professionals. She also served as subject matter expert\, trainer\, and technical assistance provider for SAMHSA’s Bringing Recovery Supports to Scale Technical Assistance Center Strategy.
