About the Webinar:

This presentation will review the origins and trajectory of the current opioid epidemic, now described as being in its fourth wave. Considered will be the current epidemiology of the epidemic, particularly opioid-overdose related fatalities; the effectiveness of and potential gaps in current harm reduction strategies such as overdose education and naloxone distribution and drug checking services that provide fentanyl and xylazine test strips or on-site testing; principal barriers to expansion of buprenorphine prescribing among health care providers; and medication for opioid use disorder treatment initiation and engagement; and the science underscoring the significance of co-occurring tobacco use disorder among persons addicted to opioids and entering MOUD treatment.

Learning Objectives:

1. Identify the 4 historical "waves" of the opioid epidemic and the primary factors driving overdose related fatalities at present
2. Identify the epidemiological groups disproportionately experiencing opioid-overdose related fatalities and understand the reasons why these groups are most affected 
3. Review how specific drug use risk behaviors interact with psychosocial factors to increase risk for opioid overdoses
4. Summarize how the harm reduction approach has recently been
   re-interpreted from the original models, making it potentially less effective for treatment initiation

About the Webinar:

In this webinar, researchers from the Social Action Lab at the University of Pennsylvania will discuss a novel, virtual social-behavioral intervention, GROV (Grid for Reduction of Regional Vulnerability), which is funded by the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) under the DP01 mechanism led by PI Dolores Albarracin. The presentation will showcase how the intervention seeks to foster effective social regulation of community challenges as a way of promoting HIV and HCV testing, preventing overdoses, seeking mental and physical health treatments, establishing social relationships, etc. The research team will delve into the intervention's design and procedures and share preliminary results during the webinar, followed by a question-and-answer session for attendees.

Learning Objectives:

1. Recognize social regulatory approaches in HIV and HCV prevention
2. Encourage discussions to promote HIV/HCV testing while addressing underlying social and ecological issues
3. Identify strategies to ensure all onboarded participants are eligible and maintain a high retention level

About the Webinar:

Most treatments and interventions for Opioid Use Disorder (OUD) require that individuals engage in interpersonal communication with their health service providers or individuals in their recovery support network. However, at the specific moment when people resume their misuse of opioids, they are often alone or with people who enable their substance use. This webinar will provide information on the utilization of paced breathing exercises, delivered by smartphone, for self-management of drug cravings, stress, and anxiety. This session will include an overview of just-in-time interventions for substance use disorders, the biological basis for paced-breathing effectiveness, and user experience results from a pilot study.

Learning Objectives:

1.  Identify the fundamental concept of just-in-time (JIT) smartphone interventions and their relevance across various domains. 
2. Describe the physiological mechanisms behind smartphone-delivered resonance breathing exercises. This includes exploring how it affects the autonomic nervous system, heart rate variability, and overall stress levels. 
3. Recognize indicators of a positive user experience of JIT smartphone interventions.

Drawing on research and practice experience from both a social work and adolescent medicine perspective, this webinar will present research, best practices and developmental considerations when working with adolescent young women whose lives may interact with the juvenile justice system or courts. The presentation will start with research contrasting current adolescent substance use trends post-COVID with trends in a recent sample of young adolescent women who are justice involved, while highlighting the unique needs of these youth based on prior research. An adolescent medicine perspective will then be provided concerning the risks of pregnancy and HIV/STI and best practices and considerations with this population. Current gender-responsive interventions for this population will be described, with a specific focus on the development and testing of the CHOICES-TEEN intervention, a bundled risk reduction Telehealth intervention designed to reduce the risks of substance-exposed pregnancy (alcohol and marijuana) and HIV/STI.

Learning Objectives:

1. Describe the unique overlapping needs, contextual factors, substance use, and sexual risk behavior trends of adolescent young women involved with the juvenile justice system or courts.
2. Identify best practices and developmental considerations when working young women who are justice involved, with particular attention to substance use and sexual health. 
3. Understand the current empirical evidence supporting various gender-responsive interventions for young adolescent women involved with the juvenile justice system or courts.

Throughout this webinar, attendees will be introduced to the foundational aspects of creating and sustaining productive community-based research partnerships. The presenters will highlight successful case studies and models that demonstrate the practical application of these collaborations, showcasing how they can lead to the development of innovative, evidence-based treatment strategies specifically tailored for women. Key discussions will include case examples such as the integration of exercise and wellness programs and the enhancement of peer support efforts, illustrating the diverse ways in which partnerships can enrich treatment interventions. However, the primary focus will remain on the overarching strategies and principles that guide these successful collaborations. Designed for social workers, treatment professionals, researchers, and advocates, this webinar aims to equip participants with the knowledge and tools necessary to foster meaningful collaborations that can significantly impact women’s recovery journeys. Join us to learn how you can contribute to advancing women's substance use disorder treatment through the power of community-based research partnerships.

Learning Objectives:

1. Identify the Foundations of Community-Based Research Partnerships: Understand the essential elements and benefits of forming partnerships between academic institutions and community organizations for enhancing substance use disorder treatment among women.
2. Examine Successful Models of Recovery-Oriented Community Collaborations: Gain insights into effective collaborative models that integrate research and practice, focusing on how these partnerships facilitate the development and implementation of innovative treatment strategies.
3. Apply Principles of Partnership to Improve Women's Treatment Outcomes: Learn strategies for applying community-based research partnerships to real-world treatment settings, enhancing outcomes for women in recovery from substance use disorders.
