SUMMARY:CTN Web Seminar Series: Perceptions of Harm and Addiction of SNUS
DESCRIPTION:SEMINAR DESCRIPTION\nChanges in public attitudes toward smoking have led to reductions in cigarette consumption in the United States. Tobacco companies in the United States are prohibited from making reduced harm claims without filing a modified risk tobacco product application with the Food and Drug Administration and obtaining an order to market as such. However\, product marketing may suggest reduced risk to individuals. This study examines perceptions\, in particular those related to harm and addiction\, of snus print advertisements. A mixed-methods design combined eye-tracking\, survey\, and semi-structured interviews. Results from the study may provide a better understanding of how smokers perceive and understand products after viewing advertisements\, which may guide public health efforts to educate smokers on the risks of emerging products. \n  \nLEARNING OBJECTIVES\n\nReview information about tobacco regulation in the U.S.\, current and historical trends in tobacco use in the U.S.\, harm perceptions\, and health outcomes associated with tobacco use.\nDiscuss the purpose\, design\, and methods of a mixed methods study examining how print advertising may influence perceptions about snus.\nReport study outcomes and future directions.\n\n  \nTARGET AUDIENCE\nEveryone is welcome! \n  \nAbout the Presenter\nAnnette Kaufman\, PhD\nDr. Kaufman is a Health Scientist and Program Director in the Tobacco Control Research Branch (TCRB)\, Behavioral Research Program (BRP)\, Division of Cancer Control and Population Sciences (DCCPS) at the National Cancer Institute (NCI). She obtained her Doctorate in Applied Social Psychology from The George Washington University and Master of Public Health in quantitative methods from the Harvard School of Public Health. She completed her post-doctoral training as a Cancer Prevention Fellow in the Office of the Director (OAD) in the Behavioral Research Program. Dr. Kaufman is actively involved in the development and implementation of the Health Information National Trends Survey (HINTS) and the Population Assessment of Tobacco and Health (PATH) study. Her program of research focuses on tobacco product harm judgments and risk perceptions associated with tobacco use. Dr. Kaufman is particularly interested in the influence of policy on tobacco beliefs and behavior.

SUMMARY:[NH SBIRT Summit] SBIRT Works: Putting Patients at the Center - Integrating Behavioral Health and Primary Care
DESCRIPTION:As our health systems move toward integration of primary care and behavioral health\, medical professionals equipped with screening and intervention best practice tools are well positioned to successfully participate in integration\, improve patient outcomes\, and reduce health care costs. The experience of NH and national peers with screening\, intervention\, and referral to treatment (SBIRT) implementation provides a valuable opportunity to offer expert insights and practical solutions to practitioners navigating clinical\, operational\, and financial issues as we work together to advance integrated care as the standard of patient care in NH. \nThrough the implementation of SBIRT in over two-dozen primary care practices across New Hampshire\, we have gleaned insights into what works well\, as well as how to overcome apparent barriers. Our experiences across community health centers\, hospitals\, and health systems have shown us that this work is critical\, and that adolescents\, as well as pregnant women and all other adults\, should receive guidance regarding substance use as part of routine clinical care. Such practice helps patients address or moderate their substance use\, and provides practitioners with essential information required for comprehensive care of patients with chronic conditions. \nThis year’s SBIRT Summit aims to: \n\nShowcase SBIRT as a proven approach to successful integration of primary care and behavioral health across the lifespan.\nShare SBIRT lessons learned and best practices related to clinical and business practice issues.\nFoster an environment that promotes and supports provider commitment to evidence-based screening and intervention on substance use.\nRaise awareness of the urgency for substance use screening and intervention in primary care for people with other chronic conditions.\n\nWe are delighted to share that Dr. Richard L. Brown will be joining us as the keynote speaker for this year’s Summit. \nDr. Brown is a family physician and a tenured professor in the Department of Family Medicine and Community Health\, School of Medicine and Public Health\, University of Wisconsin. His academic focus is the management of alcohol and drug disorders and other behavioral risk factors and conditions in primary healthcare settings. He is a widely published researcher and leader in the area of medical education and research\, receiving the Association for Medical Education and Research in Substance Abuse (AMERSA) McGovern Award for Excellence in Medical Education in 2002. Currently\, Dr. Brown directs the Wisconsin Initiative to Promote Healthy Lifestyles\, which aims to enhance delivery of SBIRT in healthcare settings. He is also the owner and CEO of Wellsys\, LLC\, which provides software\, consulting\, training and clinical support to enable healthcare settings to provide systematic\, evidence-based\, cost-saving screening\, intervention and referral services for alcohol and drug use and other behavioral risks and disorders.

SUMMARY:Science Series: Perinatal Substance Use Disorders: Rationale for Integrated Care (Daisy Goodman\, CNM\, DNP\, MPH)
DESCRIPTION:Topic\nPerinatal substance use disorders are a public health problem of increasing severity in northern New England\, straining the capacity of the maternity care system. Providing adequate and effective services for this vulnerable population requires an understanding of their complex needs. Because pregnancy is a time of high motivation for self-care\, women often seek treatment for substance use disorders for the first time after conception. Integrating addiction treatment with maternity care provides a unique opportunity to increase access\, address comorbid conditions\, and improve perinatal outcomes. \n  \nAbout the Presenter\nDaisy Goodman is a certified nurse midwife in clinical practice at Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center\, and an Instructor in Obstetrics and Gynecology at the Geisel School of Medicine at Dartmouth. She received a certificate in nurse-midwifery and women’s health at the Frontier Nursing University\, a Masters in Public Health from the Dartmouth Institute for Health Policy and Clinical Practice\, and a Doctorate in Nursing Practice at the Massachusetts General Hospital Institute of Health Professions. Her area of clinical and research interest is focused on improving access to care for pregnant women with opioid use disorders\, and on the intersection of trauma and substance use in women’s lives. Dr. Goodman currently practices at Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology\, and is part of the treatment team at the DHMC Perinatal Addiction Treatment Program. She is currently involved in the development of a toolkit to help standardize practice among maternity and addiction treatment providers caring for pregnant women with substance use disorders. Prior to coming to Dartmouth-Hitchcock in 2013\, she worked in the community hospital setting in Maine where she led implementation of a screening and brief intervention program in maternity care and participated in a workgroup sponsored by Maine CDC which developed state guidelines for the management of perinatal substance use.

SUMMARY:Science Series: Why Strategies to Integrate Behavioral Health in Primary Care are Unsuccessful and What Can Be Done About It? (Mark McGovern\, PhD)
DESCRIPTION:Topic\nWith the Affordable Care Act and Mental Health and Addiction Parity Act\, it is widely assumed that behavioral health care is in the midst of enormous transformation. Epidemiological studies and health services research document the high prevalence of behavioral health conditions in primary medical care settings\, and the significant costs associated with not addressing psychiatric and substance use disorders. A variety of behavioral health interventions\, both pharmacological and psychosocial\, have been developed and studied in primary care situations. Examples of evidence-based interventions include the Collaborative Care Model for Depression\, SBIRT for high risk alcohol use\, and medication-assisted treatment (MAT) for opioid use disorders. Although these treatments have consistently been found to pass efficacy and effectiveness trials\, they are not widely implemented—in fact few if any are sustained beyond the funded research time frame. Implementation science provides systematic insight into the barriers and facilitators of evidence-based practice adoption and reach in routine practice settings and health care systems. In this presentation\, the challenge of implementing and sustaining integrated behavioral health in primary care will be analyzed using a pragmatic research framework. Solutions are proposed that consider policy and financing; unified trans-diagnostic approaches to typical and complex behavioral health conditions (psychiatric and substance-related); optimization of care of individual providers and teams; and\, the role of technology-based platforms to enhance the quality of behavioral health care\, reduce practice variation\, and empower patients and families. \n  \nAbout the Presenter\nDr. Mark McGovern is a Professor of Psychiatry\, of Community & Family Medicine\, and of The Dartmouth Institute of Health Policy and Clinical Practice at the Geisel School of Medicine at Dartmouth in Lebanon New Hampshire USA. His clinical practice is based at the Hanover Psychiatry\, and his scientific program is focused on behavioral health services and implementation research.

SUMMARY:CTN Web Seminar Series: In the Weeds: Assessing neurocognitive brain imaging and substance abuse measures in emerging adults
DESCRIPTION:SEMINAR DESCRIPTION\nMultimodal studies which combine cognitive\, clinical\, neuroimaging and substance use assessments are critical to understanding the impact of substance use in emerging adults. These can be difficult\, however\, and a number of important yet confounding factors often cloud data collection. The goals of this one-\nhour presentation are to: 1) review the importance of collecting accurate and comprehensive information; 2) acknowledge the most common confounding variables; and 3) provide strategies for improving data collection among this population. These will be presented in conjunction with data and methodologic examples from ongoing NIDA and other funded studies. \n  \nLEARNING OBJECTIVES\n\nDefine some of the difficulties associated with assessing substance use in adolescent and emerging adult populations. • Recognize the importance of a clear study design with well-articulated substance use assessment measures administered in a reliable\, consistent\, and comprehensive manner.\nUnderstand how to modify common tools for substance use assessment for a range of substances (i.e.\, TLFB).\nIdentify a number of ways to improve the quality of data/information offered by adolescent/emerging adult research participants.\n\n  \nTARGET AUDIENCE\nEveryone is welcome to attend! \n  \nAbout the Presenter\nDr. Staci Gruber.\, PhD\nDr. Staci Bruber is the Director of the Cognitive and Clinical Neuroimaging Core at McLean Hospital’s Brain Imaging Center and an Associate Professor of Psychiatry at Harvard Medical School. Dr. Gruber’s clinical and research focus is the application of neurocognitive models and multimodal brain imaging to better characterize neurobiological risk factors for substance abuse and psychopathology\, particularly disruptions of the frontal network. In recent work\, her lab has examined the etiologic bases of neural models of dysfunction in patients with bipolar disorder as well as marijuana-\nusing adolescents and adults\, the results of which have been published in numerous peer reviewed journals and been the basis of national and international symposia\, documentaries and press conferences. Dr. Gruber has also been involved in the application of behavioral science to help shape policies regarding juvenile advocacy and defense; her lab’s work in adolescent development was part of the Amicus brief leading to the Supreme Court’s landmark decision in Roper vs. Simmons\, which states that it is unconstitutional to execute minors. Her ongoing initiative to educate policymakers\, judges\, attorneys and the general public in the differences between adults and adolescents and the impact of marijuana on the brain has already had both local and national impact on policy formation. She also directs the newly launched MIND (Marijuana Investigations for Neuroscientific Discovery) Program\, designed to clarify the effects of medical marijuana on brain structure\, function\, and quality of life.

SUMMARY:Addressing Adolescent Substance Misuse in Primary Care Using the SBIRT Model
DESCRIPTION:Presented as part of Dartmouth-Hitchcock Value Grand Rounds \n\nDescription\nSubstance abuse is a common chronic condition throughout Primary Care\, affecting one out of six patients. The U.S. Government estimates $1\,486 per person is spent on substance misuse related costs annually. However\, according to a 2014 CDC report\, only a quarter of affected patients recall ever discussing this issue with a health care professional. Research shows that investing in SBIRT can result in healthcare cost savings between $3.81 and $5.60 for each dollar spent. By identifying patients early\, SBIRT successfully reduces healthcare costs\, the severity of patient drug and alcohol use\, and the percentage of at-risk patients who go without specialized substance use treatment.\nOur opportunity is to develop an approach\, consistent across Primary Care\, to routinely screen adolescents and young adults for substance abuse\, define brief intervention strategies\, and document Behavioral Health referrals. This will lead to an expanded model of the health care team using Behavioral Health Clinicians\, and greater treatment options. \n  \nAbout the presenter\nSteven H. Chapman\, MD\, is a pediatrician at the Children’s Hospital at Dartmouth-Hitchcock (CHaD) and medical director of the Boyle Community Pediatrics Program. A certified Greenbelt\, he is a core investigator of the newly formed Northeast Node of the National Drug Abuse Treatment Clinical Trials Network led by Dr. Lisa Marsch. Dr. Chapman is also vice president of the NH Pediatric Society and is the Dresden School District Physician. He has served as medical director of the General Academic Pediatric Clinic and worked on many quality improvement projects through the Medical Home Work Group and the CHaD-PCC.
