PRIVACY AND CONFIDENTIALITY PROTECTIONS FOR RESEARCH PARTICIPANTS WITH SUBSTANCE USE DISORDERS: 42 CFR PART 2 REVISIONSWednesday, March 9, 2016 at 12:00 pm ET

SEMINAR DESCRIPTION:Maintaining the privacy and confidentiality of research participants is a critical aspect of conducting quality research investigations and reflects compliance with Good Clinical Practice guidelines and regulations. There are specific rules and protections established for nondisclosure of research and medical records of study participants with substance use disorders (SUDs) and currently changes proposed to ensure the privacy protections sufficiently meet the needs of a changing healthcare environment. This one-hour course will acquaint attendees with 42 CFR Part 2 privacy protections, discuss the proposed changes, and implications for SUD treatment programs and healthcare provider interactions in various clinical settings.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES:• Describe the basic privacy protections afforded by 42 CFR Part 2, what

information is protected, and to whom the regulations apply.• Review the proposed changes to 42 CFR Part 2 as substance abuse

treatment becomes increasingly available in non-traditional medical settings.

• Consider implications of the proposed changes to substance use data flow between health organizations for research and medical records.

TARGET AUDIENCE:Everyone is welcome! This webinar is targeted to all staff engaged in the conduct of substance use treatment and research.

THE CHALLENGE OF EVIDENCE-BASED GROUP THERAPY FOR SUBSTANCE USE DISORDERSWednesday, March 23, 2016 at 1:00 pm ET

SEMINAR DESCRIPTION:The field of substance use disorder (SUD) treatment suffers from a “modality mismatch,” in which researchers primarily examine individual therapies even while real-world psychosocial clinicians primarily facilitate groups (especially open groups). Although understandable reasons exist for this state of affairs, group therapy is not diminishing anytime soon; moreover, clinicians may be ill-equipped at using evidence-based treatments (EBTs) in group format, given limited training along with non-trivial structural differences between modalities. This one-hour presentation includes a review of SUD group therapy research and clinical resources (including two CTN studies), with a focus on facilitators and barriers for using EBTs in group format.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES:• Describe at least two reasons for a treatment modality mismatch

between SUD research and real-world practice.• Identify at least two clinical resources for using evidence-based

treatments in group format.• Explain at least two facilitators and two barriers for using evidence-based

treatments in group format.

TARGET AUDIENCE:Everyone is welcome! This webinar is targeted to all clinicians, investigators, and clinical research staff.

STACI GRUBER, PHD

Dr. Staci Gruber is the Director of the Cognitive and Clinical Neuroimaging Core at McLean Hospital’s Brain Imaging Center and an Associate Professor of Psychiatry at Harvard Medical School. Dr. Gruber’s clinical and research focus is the application of neurocognitive models and multimodal brain imaging to better characterize neurobiological risk factors for substance abuse and psychopathology, particularly disruptions of the frontal network. In recent work, her lab has examined the etiologic bases of neural models of dysfunction in patients with bipolar disorder as well as marijuana-using adolescents and adults, the results of which have been published in numerous peer reviewed journals and been the basis of national and international symposia, documentaries and press conferences. Dr. Gruber has also been involved in the application of behavioral science to help shape

policies regarding juvenile advocacy and defense; her lab’s work in adolescent development was part of the Amicus brief leading to the Supreme Court’s landmark decision in Roper vs. Simmons, which states that it is unconstitutional to execute minors. Her ongoing initiative to educate policymakers, judges, attorneys and the general public in the differences between adults and adolescents and the impact of marijuana on the brain has already had both local and national impact on policy formation. She also directs the newly launched MIND (Marijuana Investigations for Neuroscientific Discovery) Program, designed to clarify the effects of medical marijuana on brain structure, function, and quality of life.

PERCEPTIONS OF HARM AND ADDICTION OF SNUSWednesday, November 30, 2016 at 1:00 pm ET

SEMINAR DESCRIPTION:Changes in public attitudes toward smoking have led to reductions in cigarette consumption in the United States. Tobacco companies in the United States are prohibited from making reduced harm claims without filing a modified risk tobacco product application with the Food and Drug Administration and obtaining an order to market as such. However, product marketing may suggest reduced risk to individuals. This study examines perceptions, in particular those related to harm and addiction, of snus print advertisements. A mixed-methods design combined eye-tracking, survey, and semi-structured interviews. Results from the study may provide a better understanding of how smokers perceive and understand products after viewing advertisements, which may guide public health efforts to educate smokers on the risks of emerging products.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES:• Review information about tobacco regulation in the U.S., current and

historical trends in tobacco use in the U.S., harm perceptions, and health outcomes associated with tobacco use.

• Discuss the purpose, design, and methods of a mixed methods study examining how print advertising may influence perceptions about snus.

• Report study outcomes and future directions.
