SUMMARY:DOH Discussion: Crystal Meth Use in Marginalized Communities
DESCRIPTION:  \nRegistration: Click here\n  \n \n  \nCrystal meth use is a public health concern affecting multiple communities throughout New York State (NYS). For many years\, crystal meth has had a devastating impact within marginalized communities. The stigma\, shame\, and misinformation associated with crystal meth use serve as barriers for those that deserve accurate information\, supportive resources\, and treatment services. \nThe AIDS Institute (AI) has received many suggestions from the community to guide and inform response efforts to address crystal meth use in populations such as Black Men who have Sex with Men (MSM)\, rural communities\, and upstate regions. Additionally\, in Nov. 2021\, the AI held a community listening session to discuss stimulant drug use within the Black MSM community. \nBased on the information provided by community stakeholders\, education and awareness have been identified as two priority areas. In Feb. 2023\, the AI’s Office of Drug User Health (ODUH) launched a community wide initiative: Crystal Meth Use in Marginalized Communities: Discussion Series. \nObjective:\nThis discussion series will hold space for education and awareness through intentional discussions that reflect the impact crystal meth use has in communities that often experience societal and political marginalization\, such as Black MSM\, the Transgender and Gender Nonconforming (TGNC) community\, and groups with lower socio-economic status. Each discussion will feature subject matter experts\, individuals with lived experience\, service providers and community stakeholders as various themes\, such as stigma\, sexual health\, treatment\, miseducation\, and more\, are explored. \nThrough these discussions\, the AI will gain further insight into the impact of crystal meth use. The AI is committed to utilizing this information and the AI is committed to improving the quality of life for all New Yorkers who use drugs through the promotion of harm reduction practices\, and by providing accessible health care and supportive services. \nCrystal Meth Discussion flier

SUMMARY:RU-WINS Lecture: Dr. Yeka Aponte\, NIDA - "Hypothalamic cell types and circuits that drive survival behaviors"
DESCRIPTION:Rutgers University Women in Neuroscience (RUWINS) Lecture \nFriday\, March 3rd\, from 12-1pm \n“Hypothalamic cell types and circuits that drive survival behaviors”\nDr Yeka Aponte\, Senior Investigator at the National Institute on Drug Abuse\, The National Institutes of Health \nVia zoom (registration link here) – Dr Aponte will be presenting over zoom\nIn person: Keck Center Conference Room at Nelson Biology Labs\, Busch Campus\, Piscataway.  \nStudents/postdocs/techs – The talk will be followed by a lunch from 1-2pm (only for trainees) so that folks can get to know the speaker in a smaller group and learn from her at the Keck Center Conference room.  \n  \nThe Aponte lab studies the role of genetically-identified neurons and their projections in behaviors that are essential for survival. Their ultimate goal is to understand how neurons in distinct hypothalamic circuits encode pain and the rewarding and addictive nature of food intake. To answer these questions\, they use a combination of optogenetics\, chemogenetics\, electrophysiology\, two- and single-photon fluorescence endomicroscopy\, and behavioral assays to manipulate and measure the activity of these genetically-defined neuronal subpopulations in awake behaving mice. Recently\, they showed how two of the lateral hypothalamic neuronal populations identified by the expression of the calcium-binding protein parvalbumin (PVALB; LHPV) or leptin receptor (LHLEPR) modulate pain and appetitive behaviors\, respectively\, in mice. Their work revealed LHPV neurons as regulators of the LH glutamatergic circuitry orchestrating pain behaviors and identified LHLEPR neurons as modulators of a hypothalamic-ventral tegmental midbrain circuit involved in controlling motivation and appetitive behaviors. \nDownload Flyer – RUWINS March Seminar

SUMMARY:NJ ACTS Webinar - Patterns in Geographic Distribution of Substance Use Disorder Treatment Facilities in the US and Accepted Forms of Payment from 2010 to 2021
DESCRIPTION:NJ ACTS Special Populations Core 2023 Seminar Series – Patterns in Geographic Distribution of Substance Use Disorder Treatment Facilities in the US and Accepted Forms of Payment from 2010 to 2021 \nThe ongoing drug overdose crisis is a continuing public health problem and is expected to grow substantially in older adults. Using a unique database of specialty providers\, Jonathan Cantor and team assess whether the geographic availability of services was limited for older adults despite the increasing need for substance use disorder and opioid use disorder treatments in this population. \nPresenter: Dr. Jonathan Cantor is a Full Policy Researcher at the RAND Corporation. His work focuses on the impact of government healthcare programs on substance use disorder and mental health treatment. Jonathan uses theoretical frameworks and research methods from health economics\, policy analysis\, and public health. He has a doctorate of philosophy in Public Administration from the Robert F. Wagner Graduate School of Public Service at New York University. \n  \nEvent Zoom link: https://go.rutgers.edu/fq8xve1u  \n

SUMMARY:GSAPP Webinar: Opioids Then and Now
DESCRIPTION:Date: Friday\, March 24\, 2023\nTime: 9:30am-12:45pm ET\nFor more information and registration: Click here\n\nInstructor: Ana Guerra\, LCSW\, LPC\, LCADC\, CCS\nInstructional Level: Introductory\n\nIn 2020\, nearly 75% of overdose deaths involved an opioid (CDC\, 2022). As the rates of Opioid Use Disorders (OUD) have increased\, so has the need for a collaborative response to the crisis.  This course identifies factors that contributed to the escalation of opioid use and highlights implications for treatment.  Participants will review DSM-5 TR diagnostic criteria and learn about the physiological effects of opioids including Neonatal Abstinence Syndrome.  Participants will examine the benefits and misconceptions of pharmacotherapy (Medication Assisted Treatment) as well as opioid diversion activities and efforts to combat them.  Discussion and activities strive to empower participants to serve as agents of change.
