MassHEAL - Reducing overdose deaths by 40% (2019-2023)

项目总结/摘要 成瘾是一种影响不同人群的污名化疾病， 边缘化社区。因此，我们必须解决成瘾引起的复杂问题， 降低发病率和死亡率。很明显，多样化的群体更有生产力，更有创新力，更有可能 开发新的方法来解决与成瘾有关的复杂问题。我们的目标是利用现有的 波士顿医学中心和波士顿大学的项目，以增加多样性，公平性，包容性和归属感 成瘾相关领域（IDEAAA）。我们有三种方法来实现这一目标：方法1：扩展 在现有的成瘾医学培训计划中推广，以增加成功的可能性。 代表性不足的群体成员申请和参与这些方案。方法二： 将成瘾相关的案例研究，研究，阴影，游戏和戏剧融入现有计划 在STEM领域吸引代表性不足的群体。目标：1）介绍成瘾作为一个令人兴奋的和可行的 职业道路，2）增加有关物质使用障碍及其预防和治疗的知识，3） 减少围绕物质使用障碍的污名，以及4）增加预防，治疗 减少成瘾的危害。方法3：支持保留不同的教师做成瘾相关的 将它们与资助的研究项目联系起来。我们的目标是让Amaya Powis帮助Mx。朱尔斯 坎菲尔德关于方法1，利用现有成瘾药物进行需求评估和焦点小组 关于代表性不足群体过去和现在方案参与者经验的培训方案 （URG）和艾米丽Hurstak博士关于方法2的活动和任务，包括创建基于 关于现有高中和本科STEM项目的物质使用障碍主题的材料， 协助进行干预后评估。此外，我们将致力于为Amaya提供强大的学习体验 除了她的实习职责。我们将与她联系，并鼓励她参加以成瘾为重点的 在波士顿医疗中心实习期间的活动。这些活动包括临床成瘾 研究和教育（关怀）单位期刊俱乐部，案例会议，和夏季研究计划的 每周教学和医疗保健提供者和客人在恢复面板。

PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT Addiction is a stigmatized condition affecting diverse populations including disproportionate effects on marginalized communities. Therefore, we have to solve complex problems caused by addiction in order to reduce morbidity and mortality. It is clear that diverse groups are more productive, innovative, and likely to develop new approaches to solving complex problems related to addiction. Our objective is to leverage existing programs at Boston Medical Center and Boston University to increase diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging in addiction related fields (IDEAAA). We have 3 approaches to achieve this objective: Approach 1: Extending outreach in existing addiction medicine training programs in order to increase the likelihood of successful application and participation in these programs by members of underrepresented groups. Approach 2: Integrating addiction-related case studies, research, shadowing, games and theater into existing programs engaging underrepresented groups in STEM fields. Goals: 1) To introduce addiction as an exciting and viable career path, 2) to increase knowledge around substance use disorders and their prevention & treatment, 3) to reduce stigma surrounding substance use disorders, and 4) to increase the diversity of ideas to prevent, treat and reduce the harms of addiction. Approach 3: Supporting retention of diverse faculty doing addiction-related work by linking them to funded research projects. Our goal for Amaya Powis is for her to assist Mx. Jules Canfield on Approach 1, conducting needs assessments and focus groups with existing addiction medicine training programs on the experiences of past and present program participants from underrepresented groups (URGs), and Dr. Emily Hurstak on Approach 2 activities and tasks, including creating curriculum-based material on topics about substance use disorders for existing high school and undergrad STEM programs and assisting with post-intervention evaluation. In addition, we will aim to offer Amaya a robust learning experience outside of her internship duties. We will connect her with and encourage her to attend addiction-focused activities at Boston Medical Center throughout her internship. These activities include the Clinical Addiction Research and Education (CARE) Unit Journal Club, Case Conference, and Summer Research Program’s weekly didactics and healthcare provider & guests in recovery panels.
