SUMMARY:I4SUD Webinar - Xylazine: Where are the Market Gaps?
DESCRIPTION:The veterinary tranquilizer xylazine is being associated with a rising count of overdose fatalities across the country amidst the ongoing crisis of drug addiction and overdose. Persons are often exposed to xylazine unintentionally through adulterated heroin/fentanyl products. Data on this critical public health threat are just emerging and suggest that xylazine exposure changes the experience of fentanyl and may lead to medical consequences such as skin ulcers. There exist pressing gaps in the surveillance and medical treatment of xylazine\, whichKelly E. Dunn\, Ph.D.\, M.B.A. (at DrKellyDunn) will explore in this webinar\, focusing on areas where inventive solutions are urgently required. \nAfter Dr. Dunn’s talk\, Dr. Supriya Munshaw will discuss the I4SUD program and how it can help researchers bring their inventive solutions to market. \nFor registration\, click here! \n

SUMMARY:NeC-ROTAC Virtual Training - Harm Reduction Principles\, Strategies and Benefits
DESCRIPTION:Hosted by the Northeast and Caribbean Rural Opioid Technical Assistance Center (NeC-ROTAC) \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWith increasing overdose rates\, a more lethal drug supply\, and more prescription medications in many homes\, it’s important to educate a wider audience about harm reduction and what it means: essentially\, reducing the negative consequences of potentially risky behaviors. This workshop will present different definitions of harm reduction\, highlight how we all practice harm reduction in our lives\, and explain how harm reduction strategies are implemented in different settings\, with a focus on rural communities. It will also address community concerns and hesitations about harm reduction\, ways to reduce the harms of stigma surrounding drug use\, and opportunities to build bridges between harm reduction and treatment for people with substance use disorders. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPresenter: Susan Stellin\, MPH \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFor more information and registration\, click here.
