The ASAM Annual Conference - Innovations in Addiction Medicine and Science

项目总结/摘要 这是会议赠款更新提案的意图，概述了一系列会议的计划， 由ASAM及其合作伙伴组织赞助。ASAM年会的目的是 向从事成瘾治疗的医生和其他卫生保健专业人员传播知识， 研究，教育和病人护理，以促进未来的研究和新知识的整合 尽可能快速有效地应用到临床实践中。这些会议讨论了病因学， 吸毒成瘾的后果，包括其医疗后果，如传染病（例如， 艾滋病毒/艾滋病，丙型肝炎）和精神病合并症。如果本申请的目的得以实现， 将通过以下方式推进成瘾相关科学知识和临床实践： 1.新的年轻研究人员和临床医生将进入成瘾研究和实践领域。 该会议旨在为年轻的调查人员提供一个强大的培训经验， 成瘾和传染病研究。许多人在医疗期间没有得到足够的培训。 学校对成瘾或其合并症，但参加ASAM年会后， 开始了全职研究工作。来自美国和其他国家的年轻研究人员 将鼓励各国为海报或口头会议提交摘要。他们也会有 参加计划与国际成瘾医学学会共同举办的单独会议 （ISAM）和NIDA解释赠款撰写过程、资金来源和实地流程 成瘾药物。这些会议解决的问题，从我们的多种族和民族 多样化的受众，重点是促进美国机构和国际研究 和其他国家的人。 2.成瘾研究的整体质量将通过合作和接触新的 想法.所要求的资金将使ASAM会议能够汇集美国和国际 多个学科的专家，他们的合作对于成功研究 药物成瘾和相关共病的病因和后果以及医疗 并发症预防、同时发生的机会性感染和精神共病可以 在已经研究不足的成瘾医学领域，促进 合作使研究人员接触到新的研究途径，并使与会者接触到新的 科学知识。 3.成瘾医学临床医生将提高他们的知识，技能和能力。的 拟议中的会议对于实现ASAM的使命和解决 优质护理。最新研究和临床最佳实践的介绍将增加临床医生 治疗成瘾或其合并症的技能/信心，同时减少怀疑， 对疾病及其治疗的误解。此外，高质量的研究/证据- 基于演示文稿将提高护理质量，病人将收到。

Project Summary/Abstract It is the intention of this conference grant renewal proposal to outline a plan for a series of conferences to be sponsored by ASAM and its partner organizations. The purpose of ASAM’s Annual Conferences is to disseminate knowledge to physicians and other health care professionals who are engaged in addiction research, education, and patient care so as to foster future research and the integration of new knowledge into clinical practice as rapidly and effectively as possible. These conferences address the etiology and consequences of drug addiction, including its medical consequences, such as infectious diseases (e.g. HIV/AIDS, Hepatitis C) and psychiatric comorbidities. If the aims of this application are achieved the addiction-related scientific knowledge and clinical practice will be advanced in the following ways: 1. New young researchers and clinicians will enter the fields of addiction research and practice. The conference seeks to provide a robust training experience for young investigators in the area of addiction and infectious disease research. Many do not receive adequate training during medical school on addiction or its comorbidities but after attending the ASAM Annual Conference have gone on to major full-time careers in research. Young investigators from the U.S. and other countries will be encouraged to submit abstracts for posters or oral sessions. They will also have access to separate sessions planned as a co-venture of International Society for Addiction Medicine (ISAM) and NIDA to explain the grant-writing process, funding resources, and processes in the field of addiction medicine. These sessions address issues that arise from our multiracial and ethnically diverse audience with emphasis on fostering international research both by American institutions and by those of other countries. 2. Overall quality of addiction research will improve through collaborations and exposure to new ideas. The requested funds will allow ASAM conferences to bring together U.S. and international experts in multiple disciplines whose collaboration is essential to successful research into the etiology and consequences of drug addiction and related co-occurring disorders and medical complications. Prevention, co-occurring opportunistic infections, and psychiatric comorbidities can be under-addressed in the already under-researched field of addiction medicine. Fostering collaborations exposes researchers to new avenues for research and exposes attendees to new scientific knowledge. 3. Addiction medicine clinicians will enhance their knowledge, skill, and competence. The proposed conferences are central to attainment of ASAM’s mission and addressing barriers for quality care. Presentations of the newest research and clinical best practices will increase clinician skill/confidence in treating addiction or its comorbidities, while decreasing skepticism and misunderstandings about the disease and its treatment. Additionally, high quality, research/evidence- based presentations will improve the quality of care that patients will receive.
