SUMMARY:JCOIN Speaker Series: Medications for Opioid Use Disorder in Criminal Justice Settings
DESCRIPTION:This webinar will feature presentations from key researchers who will summarize the effectiveness of medications for addiction treatment (MAT) for individuals with a substance use disorder\, and specifically those in jails and prisons. \nThe vast majority of individuals that have used opioids are within the criminal justice system. Rates of opioid use among the justice-involved population are 400 times higher than that of the general public. Of the 2 million individuals in prison and jail in the United States\, 19 percent have regularly used opioids. Studies have found that individuals returning from incarceration to the community are at a high risk of a fatal overdose during the transition. A Washington State study found that individuals released from prison and jail were up to 129 times more likely to die during the first two weeks after release compared to the general public\, with drug overdoses as the leading cause of death. These risk factors have significant implications for reentry planning and services to ensure quality care among justice-involved individuals as they transition to the community. \nResearch also shows that providing MAT prior to and during reentry cuts the risk of death by 75 percent. \nPresenters:\n– Tisha Wiley\, PhD\, Branch Chief\, Associate Director for Justice Systems\, NIDA\n– Peter Friedmann\, MD\, MPH\, DFASAM\, FACP\, Chief Research Officer\, Baystate Health\n– Faye Taxman\, PhD\, University Professor\, George Mason University

SUMMARY:Enhancing Health Disparities Research Related to Substance Use and Addiction: Research Gaps and Opportunities Virtual Meeting
DESCRIPTION:The goals of this virtual meeting are to discuss research gaps on racial inequities in substance use and addiction and to inform NIDA’s commitment to this area by identifying short- and long-term plans for enhancing the research portfolio. Discussion will center on research in areas where there are known racial/ethnic inequities; and where research has the greatest potential to reduce those disparities. These include\, but are not limited to\, persistent health disparities related to substance use\, addiction\, and related outcomes; a lack of attention to research questions most salient to underrepresented communities; and existing system bias in the scientific enterprise. The overarching goal of the Research Gaps and Opportunities Workgroup is to engage the scientific community in identifying research priorities that can inform NIDA programs/funding opportunities and ultimately reduce health disparities and improve outcomes. \nDay 1: SOCIAL DETERMINANTS OF HEALTH\nDay 2: HARNESSING BASIC SCIENCE TO UNDERSTAND RACIAL DISPARITIES AND THE IMPACT OF RACISM \nQuestions\nPlease contact Will M. Aklin\, Ph.D. at aklinwm@mail.nih.gov or Caitlin Dudevoir at CDudevoir@leedmci.com
