Polysubstance Use Symposium

项目摘要 多物质使用是一个严重的公共卫生问题。有证据表明，大多数使用毒品的人 毒品涉及多种物质的使用，这增加了他们服药过量的风险。尽管有这样的角色 在当前的过量使用危机中，它仍然是一个研究不足、了解甚少的问题。 现象。为促进多物质使用领域的发展，建议召开“多物质使用研讨会”，以 将于2022年10月20日至21日在纽约市举行。这个主要交通枢纽的中心位置 将为本地和非本地专家，包括主要研究型大学的学者提供便利， 政策制定者、从业者和其他感兴趣的利益相关者。为期1.5天的会议包括一个主旨演讲 演讲，一系列同时进行的研究会议，一张海报和网络招待会，早期职业生涯 调查员辅导会议、专题小组讨论、方法讲习班和互动筹资圆桌会议。这个 研讨会的总体目标是通过汇聚 具有对公共卫生产生积极影响的巨大潜力的跨学科利益攸关方小组 多物质使用的危机。研讨会的具体目标是：(1)加强合作努力 在多物质使用的专家和新的研究人员中产生新的研究，旨在减少 多物质使用的公共健康危机，(2)提供传播尖端研究的正式机会 在涉及三个重要领域的多物质使用领域：流行率和新出现的趋势， 治疗和社会决定因素；以及(3)让多物质使用研究人员参与正式网络 机会，重点是为早期职业和任职人数不足创造机会 研究人员。研讨会将为多物质使用的研究人员提供可行的信息，增加 在利益相关者之间建立网络，以增加创新的研究提案和解决方案，并支持及早 职业和代表不足的学者在推进他们的职业目标中使用多种物质。

PROJECT ABSTRACT Polysubstance use is a critical public health concern. Evidence indicates that the majority of persons who use drugs engage in use of multiple substances which places them at increased risk of overdose. Despite the role of polysubstance use in the current overdose crisis, it remains an understudied and poorly understood phenomenon. To accelerate the field of polysubstance use, a “Polysubstance Use Symposium” is proposed to be held October 20-21, 2022, in New York City, New York. The central location of this major transportation hub will facilitate the attendance of local and non-local experts, including scholars from major research universities, policymakers, practitioners, and other interested stakeholders. The 1.5-day meeting includes a keynote presentation, a series of concurrent research sessions, a poster and networking reception, an early career investigator mentoring session, a thematic panel, methods workshop, and interactive funding roundtables. The overall objective of the symposium is to accelerate knowledge of polysubstance use by bringing together an interdisciplinary group of stakeholders with tremendous potential for a positive impact on the public health crisis of polysubstance use. The specific goals of the symposium are to (1) increase collaborative efforts among experts and new researchers of polysubstance use to generate new research aimed at reducing the public health crisis of polysubstance use, (2) provide a formal opportunity to disseminate cutting-edge research in the field of polysubstance use as related to three important domains: prevalence and emerging trends, treatment, and social determinants; and (3) engage polysubstance use researchers in formal networking opportunities, with an emphasis on generating opportunities for early career and underrepresented researchers. The symposium will provide actionable information to researchers of polysubstance use, increase networking among stakeholders to increase innovative research proposals and solutions, and support early career and underrepresented scholars of polysubstance use in advancing their career goals.
