SUMMARY:Rutgers SSW Webinar: The Opioid Crisis in NJ - Current Trends and Evidence-Based Treatment Options
DESCRIPTION:This interactive webinar will discuss the latest developments and trends regarding natural opiates\, semi-synthetic opioids\, and synthetic opioids. Participants will be able to identify national and local NJ trends with regards to prescribing practices and new legislation\, opioid overdoses and trends with opioid use. Participants will be able to distinguish the difference between which drugs are considered naturally occurring opiates\, which are considered semi-synthetic opioids and which are considered synthetic opioids. Participants will be introduced into the assessment of and treatment of Opioid Use Disorders via the DSM 5 criteria\, the latest nationally recognized medicated assisted treatment and the non-medication assisted treatment approaches when working with clients. Participants will be able to identify three different medicated assisted treatments (MAT)\, and discussion of medicinal marijuana being added as an MAT option. Webinar participants will be introduced to a harm reduction treatment paradigm and will be able to identify at least 3 different harm reduction principles when working with clients. Finally\, participants will engage in an interactive case that will develop throughout the webinar and have different objectives (e.g.\, assessing a proper level of care\, and then incorporating a harm reduction treatment orientation with the client in regards to their MAT decision process).

SUMMARY:ATTC & CTN Webinar: The Effectiveness and Utility of Telebehavioral (Telehealth) Services
DESCRIPTION:Presented by: Nancy A. Roget\, MS\, MFT\, LADC and Maryellen Evers\, LCSW\, CAADAC\, CMFSW \nThe uptake in the use of telebehavioral services since the start of the Public Health Emergency (PHE) has been swift and is significantly transforming how behavioral health services are delivered. This is encouraging\, as the research base for assessing and treating mental health conditions virtually is extensive and over 60 years old. However\, for substance use disorders (SUDs)\, the research is less extensive and more recent. Mental health and SUD treatment services provided virtually are effective and serve as viable alternatives to in-person service delivery. Patients confirm high levels of satisfaction with telebehavioral health\, while practitioners report more reluctance. Nonetheless\, training has been shown to build practitioners’ skills\, confidence\, and competency. Using technology to facilitate clinical or recovery support sessions requires clinicians and peer support specialists to simulate real-time experiences (Hilty\, 2002) that promote a therapeutic alliance (treatment) or connection (peer support). However\, virtual service delivery requires some careful modification of the clinicians’ or peer support specialists’ skills to ensure engagement occurs and positive working relationships are developed. This webinar will include a brief review of: telebehavioral health research and its efficacy; strategies that promote skill development; how to create a virtual presence; resources related to guidelines and tips; and comments regarding hybrid service delivery. \nSponsored by the Northwest & Pacific Southwest ATTCs and the Western States Node of the Clinical Trials Network. \nFor information regarding CME and CE credits\, visit https://attcnetwork.org/centers/northwest-attc/event/effectiveness-and-utility-telebehavioral-telehealth-services-webinar \n\n\n\nRegistration information: Click here\n\n\n

The annual NIDA-NIAAA Mini-Convention provides a forum for presentations and discussions of current topics in neuroscience and addiction research. Topics of significant or emerging scientific interest were presented as mini-symposia that describe current knowledge and the use of state-of-the-art approaches in pursuing research in select topic areas\, and that enable additional discussion of the implications of the research. The Mini-Convention also showcases research by premier early stage and junior investigators working in the fields of alcohol and substance abuse and addiction research through the Early Career Investigator Showcase (ECIS) symposium. The highlight of the Mini-Convention is the keynote address presented by the recipient of the annual Jacob P. Waletzky Memorial Award. The Jacob P. Waletzky Award is given to a young scientist (within 15 years of his/her Ph.D. or MD degree) whose independent research has led to significant conceptual and empirical contributions to the understanding of drug addiction. \nAgenda\nThe agenda for the Mini-Convention will include: \n\nIntroduction and opening remarks by:\n\nNora Volkow\, Director\, NIDA\nGeorge Koob\, Director\, NIAAA\n\n\nThe 2022 Jacob P.

SUMMARY:Linking Genetics to Behavior Using New Methods in Machine Learning\, Evolutionary Biology\, and Genomics
DESCRIPTION:Genome-wide association studies have identified hundreds of loci associated with addiction and other behaviors\, but understanding the mechanism of action of the vast majority of those loci has remained elusive. The Pfenning laboratory has developed a new set of methods to link those loci to conserved cell type-specific regulatory function. First\, single cell open chromatin experiments from the striatum are used to train machine learning models that can predict cell type-specific enhancers from genome sequence. We combine those models with new comparative genomic methods and 222 mammalian genomes to predict the cell type-specific function of genetic variants associated with addiction\, Alzheimer’s disease\, and other neural traits. To follow up on those predictions\, we have developed a reporter assay technology that can measure the regulatory activity of hundreds of candidate enhancers in one experiment. Finally\, we are leveraging our regulatory models to screen for enhancers that will label specific neuron subtypes in downstream experiments. Surprisingly\, our research has implicated rare neuron subtypes\, including D1-D2 hybrid neurons of the striatum\, as playing a central role in mediating the predisposition to addiction behavior. \nPresenter: Andreas Pfenning\, PhD\nAssistant Professor\, Computational Biology Department\, Carnegie Mellon University \nWhere: Hybrid Event \n\nIn person: Nelson Biology Laboratories Building – Busch Campus – Room D406\n604 Allison Road\, Piscataway\, NJ 08854\nVirtual: https://rutgers.zoom.us/j/99533254531?pwd=cXMvaGw3K21tdEVXdmNWOW1xbnRQZz09\n\n  \n

SUMMARY:RARC Trainee Appreciation Night
DESCRIPTION:  \nWhen: Thursday\, September 22\, 2022\nTime: 5:00pm onwards\nWhere: The courtyard between the School of Public Health (SPH) Building and Center for Advanced Biomedicine (CABM) Building on Busch Campus – 683 Hoes Ln West\, Piscataway.\nRSVP: Click here\n\n  \nAs part of post-doc appreciation week (Sept 19-23)\, the RARC would like to show our appreciation for the incredible contributions that our post-docs and other trainees make to the world-class addiction research being carried out here at Rutgers. In this spirit\, we invite all post-docs\, graduate students\, research assistants and any other trainees working across our 4 research domains (Basic Science; Epidemiology\, Etiology and Prevention; Treatment and Recovery; Public Policy) to join us for pizza and drinks on Thursday\, September 22\, 2022 on the Busch Campus. We will use this as an opportunity to discuss upcoming trainee-focused RARC initiatives (e.g. travel awards) and to canvass your input on how we can best foster our trainee community within the RARC. We look forward to seeing you!
