Delivering opioid use disorder treatment among American Indian and Alaska Native adults during the Covid-19 pandemic and beyond: Facilitators and barriers to care
Providers highlighted the utility in the expansion and sustainment of telehealth. Flexible policies for MOUD were particularly beneficial during the height of COVID-19 to maintain and increase access to treatment. Providing a menu of treatment options, emphasizing cultural engagement and social support were deemed necessary to enhance AI/AN community driven solutions in curbing the opioid poisoning public health crisis
Factors contributing to Covid-19 vaccine hesitancy in Veterans later in the pandemic
Vaccine hesitancy remains a significant public health concern despite the widespread availability of vaccines. Little is known about factors influencing hesitancy among U.S. military Veterans later in the pandemic. The goal of this study was to identify factors contributing to COVID-19 vaccine acceptance and hesitancy among U.S. military Veterans more than one year after vaccine availability. This study was part of the COVID-19 Vaccine Acceptance…
Provider perspectives on the impact of Covid-19 on treatment of substance use and opioid use disorders among American Indian and Alaska Native adults
Introduction: American Indian/Alaska Native (AI/AN) communities are more likely to suffer negative consequences related to substance misuse. The COVID-19 pandemic exacerbated the opioid poisoning crisis, in combination with ongoing treatment barriers resulting from settler-colonialism, systemic oppression and racial discrimination. AI/AN adults are at greatest risk of COVID-19 related serious illness and death. In collaboration with an Indigenous…
Coming together for something good: Recommendations from a scoping review for dissemination and implementation science to improve indigenous substance use disorder treatment
Introduction Dissemination and Implementation (D&I) science is growing among Indigenous communities. Indigenous communities are adapting and implementing evidence-based treatments for substance use disorders (SUD) to fit the needs of their communities. D&I science offers frameworks, models, and theories to increase implementation success, but research is needed to center Indigenous knowledge, enhancing D&I so that it is more applicable within Ind…
Centering culture in the treatment of opioid use disorder with American Indian and Alaska Native Communities: Contributions from a National Collaborative Board
American Indian/Alaska Native (AI/AN) communities are disproportionally impacted by the opioid overdose epidemic. There remains a dearth of research evaluating methods for effectively implementing treatments for opioid use disorder (OUD) within these communities. We describe proceedings from a 2‐day Collaborative Board (CB) meeting tasked with developing an implementation intervention for AI/AN clinical programs to improve the delivery of medicat…
Addressing Tobacco Use Through Organizational Change: A Case Study of an Addiction Treatment Organization
Compared to the general population, persons entering addiction treatment are three to four times more likely to be tobacco dependent and even addiction treatment staff members are two to three times more likely to be tobacco dependent. In these settings, tobacco use continues to be the norm; however addiction treatment programs are increasingly aware of the need to assess for and treat tobacco dependence. The problem is a cultural issue that is s…
Social support in women with fibromyalgia: Is quality more important than quantity
The present study is an examination of the effects of quality and quantity of social support on the psychological and physical well‐being of women with fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS). Participants were 568 women who were members of a health maintenance organization (HMO) with a confirmed diagnosis of FMS. Participants were administered a battery of questionnaires assessing their psychological and physical well‐being. Measures of depression, self‐eff…
