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:The Heroin Effect: Film
DESCRIPTION:A locally produced documentary. 144 people die every day in the US from heroin and other opioid overdoses…but there is hope. Dean\, Sandi and Eric are in long term recovery and they are part of the solution. That said\, Daniel’s video diary serves as the most personal of warnings. \nThe key to fighting this epidemic lies in bringing people together. Only as a community\, with a shift in our perception of addicts and addiction\, can we begin to tackle this crisis. \nPost-film panel discussion/Q&A with: \n\nMichael Venn\, Director\nKarlina Lyons\, Producer\nEric Spofford\, Chief Executive Officer at Granite Recovery Centers\nSandi Coyle\, New England Regional Director\, Phoenix Multisport\nDean Lemire\, Recovery Advocate\nTym Rourke\, Director of Substance Use Disorders Grantmaking at NH Charitable Foundation

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.

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: 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.
