SUMMARY:Alcohol is STILL a Drug: An Exploratory Webinar Series
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER HERE \nDescription:\nThe Great Lakes A/MH/PTTC is offering this training for individuals working in HHS Region 5: IL\, IN\, MI\, MN\, OH\, WI. This training is being provided in response to a need identified by Region 5 stakeholders.\nAlcohol is STILL a drug. The opioid crisis\, increase in stimulant misuse\, and marijuana legalization dominate the news— yet alcohol remains the number one substance causing health\, social\, legal and financial problems throughout the US. While this series will focus on the hopefulness of recovery from alcohol use disorder\, we’ll also take a deep dive into what we know about the full impact of alcohol overuse and the ways it affects every person in the US. \nLearning Objectives: \n\nSummarize the current impacts of problematic alcohol use in various/special populations\, including pregnant women\, youth\, rural\, and minority populations.\nAssess and prioritize alcohol reduction efforts in targeted settings.\nDescribe the current efforts to curb problematic alcohol use\, including best practices in providing treatment.\n\nCertificates:\nCertificates of attendance will be emailed to all participants who attend the sessions in full.

SUMMARY:Evidence-Based Strategies for Preventing Opioid Overdose
DESCRIPTION:Join us on March 7th from 1-2:30 p.m. (ET) for a webinar and Q&A to discuss key strategies to preventing opioid overdose with experts from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). \nProvisional data from the CDC’s National Center for Health Statistics shows that there were over 100\,300 drug overdose deaths in the United States from April 2020 – April 2021\, a nearly 30% increase from the year prior. Given this increase in overdose deaths across the U.S.\, it is more important than ever to understand the evidence-based strategies that are available to address opioid use disorderin our communities. \nDr. Jennifer J. Carroll\, a dual trained medical anthropologist and public health researcher\, and Michelle Putnam from the CDC’s Division of Overdose Prevention will discuss designing and implementing effective opioid overdose prevention strategies\, including targeted naloxone distribution\, the importance of medication for addiction treatment (MAT)\, syringe service programs\, and more. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegister now!

SUMMARY:Opioid Use Disorder in Women
DESCRIPTION:Presenter: Kathleen Brady\, MD\, PhD\, Distinguished Professor\, Medical University of South Carolina \nSponsor: American Psychiatric Association (APA) \nCost: No Fee \nTarget audience: Interprofessional teams\, psychiatrists\, physicians\, nurses\, physician assistants. The live webinar is accredited for physicians. \nCredit Designations Available: a maximum of 1.0 AMA PRA Category 1 Credit™ \nAbout the webinar: Exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic\, the opioid epidemic in the United States is a dangerous reality that affects all demographics. In this presentation\, gender differences in opioid use disorders will be discussed from an epidemiologic perspective. Understanding the differences in trends by gender can help clinicians treat the patient\, rather than treating the condition. Neurobiological and social determinants will also be reviewed as the differences vary greatly by gender. Finally\, treatment implications will be discussed so we can better understand the impact of tailored OUD treatment. \nEducational objectives:  At the conclusion of this activity participants should be able to: \n\nApply the epidemiologic differences in the prevalence of OUD to your practice setting.\nIdentify the gender differences in neurobiology of OUD when treating patients.\nEvaluate the patient treatment outcomes based on gender.\n\nRegister Now

SUMMARY:Racial Inequities in NIH Grant Funding
DESCRIPTION:Join us at the Rural Drug Addiction Research (RDAR) Center’s Seminar Series! \nJoin us for our March Seminar Series event featuring a presentation by Michael Taffe\, PhD on “Racial Inequities in NIH Grant Funding.” This presentation will overview a persisting disparity in NIH grant award funding\, that leaves proposals submitted by Black Principal Investigators at a substantial disadvantage. The talk will address how this has been shown to lead to a disparity in which topics of research are funding and how this may contribute to the underfunding of research on critical health questions that are of interest to non-majority populations. \nThis event is FREE and OPEN to the public. All are welcome\, and there is no charge to attend this event. We will be live streaming and recording the talk. You can register\, and receive your unique connection information\, for this event by clicking the button above or by using the following link: go.unl.edu/f8ea.

SUMMARY:When It’s Time To Come Down\, Weaning Opioids With Compassion
DESCRIPTION:Presenter: Megan Filoramo\, MSN\, APN-C\, Pain Management NP\, Educator and Nurse Coach\, NJ Pain Consultants/Altair Health \nSponsoring organization: American Society for Pain Management Nursing (ASPMN) \nTarget audience: Nurses\, nurse practitioners\, physicians\, physical therapists\, or psychologists \nAbout the webinar: Compassionate weaning of opioids should include both pharmacological and emotional support. There are options for both slow tapers and abrupt cessation\, and selection should be based on individualized patient needs and on a shared decision-making model. This process should include not only a clear outline of the treatment plan but also alternative treatments for the pain\, appropriate pharmacologic treatment of withdrawal symptoms\, frequent patient re-evaluation and revision of the plan as needed. To adequately support the patient through this process\, it is critical patients understand the weaning does not equate abandonment by their clinical team. Opioid tapering does not need to contribute to patient suffering. \nEducational objectives: \n\nIdentify 3 pharmacologic approaches to weaning opioids.\nDescribe what a shared decision making model looks like in the setting of opioid weaning\nList 3 components of emotional support necessary for patient success with weaning\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegister Now
