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.
