SUMMARY:PCSS-O: Peer Assistance for the Dental Team Member with Opioid Dependency
DESCRIPTION:Substance Use Disorders (e.g. opioid and other substance disorders) are such in their presentation that the deepening shame and guilt of the dental team member who has the disorder typically leads to more and more isolating behavior as the disorder progresses. Peer assistance programs work with the person with the malady to treat the disorder thus drawing the team member back into being an active and productive member of the dental team. This presentation will follow the process of help for the one who needs the help in learning to live a different way of living with this chronic disorder. \nEducational objectives: \n\nGive examples of behaviors that can lead other dental team members to the identification of someone with a substance use disorder e.g. opioid dependency\nShow how assessment and referral to appropriate treatment can lead the team member back into an active and productive practice\nA look at various types of group meeting settings where the individual can see\, hear\, and meet others i.e. peers who have similar disorders\nShow methods of accountability for the person and for the team in allowing the individual back into practice\nDetermining factors for whether law enforcement and licensing Boards need to be involved

SUMMARY:SAMHSA Recovery Month Webinar: Criminal Justice Reform
DESCRIPTION:As part of criminal justice system reform\, many people in prison for non-violent drug offences will be released early. Although some of these individuals may have received treatment while incarcerated\, others may not have.  This show will discuss how communities are addressing prisoner re-entry\, including the efforts of states and municipalities to establish programs to assist those in need of services for mental and/or substance use disorders.  Panelists will explore how communities can engage people in treatment and recovery programs when they re-enter society.  The discussion will cover the types of services needed to address behavioral health conditions and reduce recidivism among justice-involved individuals—as well as vital recovery supports for housing\, education/training\, and health.  This show will also discuss some effective practices that are in place in various communities to address the needs of prisoners re-entering their communities.

SUMMARY:NAADAC Webinar: EBP's for MAT
DESCRIPTION:With the current opioid overdose epidemic in full flood\, Medication-Assisted Treatment is on the horizon of every treatment provider. However\, opioid maintenance therapy with medications such as naltrexone\, Subutex and methadone challenge both the treatment philosophy and delivery systems of many programs. We will examine the philosophy\, research\, medications\, and evidence-based practices for effective MAT. \nLearning Objectives\n\nArticulate the philosophical dialectic between “abstinence-based” and “medication-assisted” treatment modalities.\nIdentify the FDA/ DEA-approved and experimental medications for assisting patients in recovery from alcohol\, opioid and stimulant use disorders.\nBecome familiar with three evidence based practices either designed for or adaptable for treating patients in recovery from alcohol\, opioid and stimulant use disorders .

SUMMARY:CTN Webinar: Potential Benefits of Increased Use of Prescription Monitoring Programs
DESCRIPTION:National Drug Abuse Treatment Clinical Trials Network Webinar titled Potential Benefits of Increased Use of Prescription Monitoring Programs presented by Dr. Thomas Alfieri on Thursday\, April 27\, 2017 from 1:00 – 2:00 PM EDT.  \nEvent Description: \nPurdue Pharma L.P.\, Virginia Governor Terry McAuliffe and the Virginia Secretary of Health and Human Resources announced the formation of a public-private partnership to enhance utilization of the state prescription monitoring program (PMP) as part of the solution to address the opioid crisis. The Commonwealth of Virginia will connect the state PMP to the electronic health records (EHR) used by Virginia prescribers and pharmacists to make information from the PMP an integral part of the patient workflow when prescribing or dispensing controlled substances. The goal is to improve the performance\, access and usability of the PMP program data for 18\,000 prescribers and 400 pharmacies in the Commonwealth of Virginia by the end of 2017. \nThe Virginia PMP provides to authorized users a patient’s prescription history for Schedule II – V prescriptions for the prior 12 months as reported by all Virginia pharmacies and by out-of-state pharmacies delivering to people in Virginia. Additionally\, the PMP prescription report informs clinical decision-making to help prevent or stop harm from duplicate drug therapy\, prescription drug misuse\, abuse and diversion. \nThis presentation will outline the potential benefits of PMP use\, and explore ways that these benefits can be measured. \n  \nPresenter Information: \nThomas Alfieri\, PhD\, is a director of strategic research at Purdue Pharma L.P.\, where he is responsible for developing and executing a program of collaborative research partnerships aimed at improving pain management and decreasing opioid misuse. Current research projects include examining the role of prescription monitoring programs in preventing opioid misuse\, the impact of medicine disposal initiatives on public health\, and the effect of wearable health technologies on patient outcomes among chronic pain patients.  He earned his doctorate in social psychology from New York University and advanced degrees in statistics and operations research from NYU’s Stern School of Business. Dr. Alfieri has spent the majority of his professional career designing research projects in a variety of fields including health outcomes\, consumer perception\, and marketing.  \nFor information on how to register\, please contact the Northeast Node.

SUMMARY:Dreamland: America's Opiate Epidemic and How We Got Where We Are
DESCRIPTION:Sam Quinones\, journalist and author\, chronicles the national opioid epidemic at The Rockefeller Center at Dartmouth College. \nCo-sponsored by the Dartmouth Institute for Health Policy and Clinical Practice\, the C. Everett Koop Institute\, CHaD\, and Dartmouth Hitchcock (Perinatal Treatment and Addiction Program\, Pediatrics\, Obstetrics and Gynecology\, and Psychiatry). \nSam Quinones is a Los Angeles-based freelance journalist and author of three books of narrative nonfiction. His latest book is Dreamland: The True Tale of America’s Opiate Epidemic (Bloomsbury\, 2015)\, for which he traveled across the United States. Dreamland recounts twin stories of drug marketing in the 21st Century: A pharmaceutical corporation flogs its legal new opiate prescription painkiller as nonaddictive. Meanwhile\, immigrants from a small town in Nayarit\, Mexico devise a method for retailing black-tar heroin like pizza in the U.S.\, and take that system nationwide\, riding a wave of addiction to prescription pills from coast to coast. The collision of those two forces has led to America’s deadliest drug scourge in modern times. Dreamland was selected as one of the Best books of 2015 by Amazon.com\, Slate.com\, the Daily Beast\, Buzzfeed\, Seattle Times\, Boston Globe\, St. Louis Post-Dispatch\, Entertainment Weekly\, Audible\, and in the Wall Street Journal and Bloomberg Business by Nobel economics laureate\, Prof. Angus Deaton\, of Princeton University. \nQuinones’ previous two highly acclaimed books grew from his 10 years living and working as a freelance writer in Mexico (1994-2004). True Tales From Another Mexico: The Lynch Mob\, the Popsicle Kings\, Chalino and the Bronx was released in 2001. It is a cult classic of a book from Mexico’s vital margins – stories of drag queens and Oaxacan Indian basketball players\, popsicle makers and telenovela stars\, migrants\, farm workers\, a narcosaint\, a slain drug balladeer\, a slum boss\, and a doomed tough guy. In 2007\, he came out with Antonio’s Gun and Delfino’s Dream: True Tales of Mexican Migration. In it\, Quinones narrates the saga of the Henry Ford of Velvet Painting\, and of how an opera scene emerged in Tijuana\, and how a Zacatecan taco empire formed in Chicago. He tells the tale of the Tomato King\, of a high-school soccer season in Kansas\, and of Mexican corruption in a small LA County town. Threading through the book are three tales of a modern Mexican Huck Finn. Quinones ends the collection in a chapter called “Leaving Mexico” with his harrowing tangle with the Narco-Mennonites of Chihuahua. \nSam Quinones is formerly a reporter with the L.A. Times\, where he worked for 10 years (2004-2014). He is a veteran reporter on immigration\, gangs\, drug trafficking\, and the border. \n

SUMMARY:Science Series: Parental Substance Misuse and Child Trauma (Mary Kay Jankowski\, PhD)
DESCRIPTION:Topic Description: Children exposed to parental substance misuse suffer from high rates of abuse\, neglect\, traumatic loss and posttraumatic sequelae.  Moreover\, an estimated 40-80% of families involved with child protection services due to child abuse or neglect involve substance abuse in the home.   With the high rates of substance use disorders including opioid use disorders\, and rising rates of death from drug overdose\, services to meet the needs of the children and youth whose parents are addicted to alcohol\, opioids and other drugs are sorely lacking.  This talk will provide an overview of the effects of parental substance misuse on children and youth\, with special focus on the association between parental substance misuse and child trauma.  Models for treating traumatized children that have high relevance and utility for children and youth coming from substance misusing families will be discussed. \n  \nPresenter Bio: Kay Jankowski\, PhD\, is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Psychiatry\, and Associate Director of the Dartmouth Trauma Interventions Research Center\, Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center. She received her Doctorate in Psychology from the University of Vermont and completed her internship and post-doctoral work at Geisel School of Medicine at Dartmouth.  Jankowski has published numerous articles and presented widely in the area of child and adolescent trauma\, including developing and testing new treatment interventions\, disseminating evidence-based practices into “real world settings”\, and transforming child serving systems to bring a more trauma-informed approach to care and services for children\, youth and their families.  Most recently she is the Principal Investigator for the New Hampshire Partners for Change Project\, a federally funded (ACF\, DHHS) demonstration project to improve the social and emotional well-being of children and youth in child welfare and juvenile justice systems.  She is also the Co-Principal Investigator for the federally funded New Hampshire Adoption Preparation and Preservation Project\, with a goal of promoting successful adoption by creating a trauma-informed\, evidence-based and adoption competent child welfare system. Jankowski also is a certified trainer for Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavior Therapy (TF-CBT).  She provides training and consultation to clinicians across New England in the model\, as well as training in trauma-informed care to a range of organizations including mental health agencies\, substance abuse treatment centers\, organizations that serve homeless populations\, and schools\, and has expertise in leading learning collaborative models of practice change.  In addition\, she is an experienced clinical psychologist\, and maintains a practice\, treating traumatized children\, adolescents and adults at Dartmouth-Hitchcock.

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.
