  Pacific Southwest PTTC's Unraveling the Mystery of U.S. Alcohol Regulations   Webinar Date: December 15, 2021   Webinar Slides Webinar Slides for Unraveling the Mystery of U.S. Alcohol Regulations *This presentation and the information contained in it is proprietary information of Pam Erickson, and may not be adapted, modified, or disseminated without the prior written permission of Pam Erickson. This presentation is intended to be used by prevention professionals for learning purposes only. This presentation is not 508 compliant.   Webinar Overview and Objectives This presentation aims to "demystify" alcohol regulation. Alcohol regulation is confusing to a lot of people—even regulators! A review of its history helps explain why we regulate the way we do including: why every state is a little different; “control" v. "license" systems; and a three-tier system. Also, the session will indicate how our systems control alcohol problems and point to credible research which confirms the efficacy of system measures.  By the end of the webinar, participants will be able to: Describe the history of alcohol in the United States before Prohibition and the problems which led to the 18th Amendment (Prohibition). Explain the Post-Prohibition history including the importance of Toward Liquor Control (a research study) in developing state systems of alcohol regulation. Describe the various systems states use to control alcohol problems: how they work and why they are important. Identify research from credible sources which confirms the efficacy of our systems.   Audience Community, tribal, jurisdiction, and state-level prevention practitioners and allied health partners and community members located in the Pacific Southwest states and jurisdictions of American Samoa, Arizona, California, Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, Federated States of Micronesia, Guam, Hawaii, Nevada, Republic of the Marshall Islands, and the Republic of Palau.   Presenter Pam Erickson, President and CEO of Public Action Management, is a passionate leader on alcohol policy issues. Currently, she owns Public Action Management which operates an education campaign for a “Healthy Alcohol Marketplace.” From 1996 to 2003, she directed the Oregon Liquor Control Commission which included licensing, regulatory enforcement and operating Oregon’s distilled spirits business as a "control state". From 2003 to 2007, she worked at Oregon Partnership to direct statewide leadership and media campaigns to reduce underage drinking. Beginning in 2005, she developed the Campaign for a Healthy Alcohol Market, which is an education campaign designed to explain the purpose and objectives of alcohol regulation in simple terms. She has written several reports on deregulation in the United Kingdom and the US and produces a periodic report for policy makers called, “Issue Briefs.” These reports explain how deregulation can lead to increased social problems such as high rates of underage drinking, public order offenses and alcohol related disease. Pam has also served as an expert witness in key alcohol regulation cases in Kentucky, California, Indiana, and Michigan.

Course Description SBIRT (Screening, Brief Intervention, and Referral to Treatment) is an evidence- based practice that uses a preventive public health approach to identify and intervene with persons whose pattern of use puts them at risk for, or are experiencing substance-related health problems, and/or deliver referrals to treatment for persons with a high potential for substance use disorders. With current data reporting 66.6 million people in the US as binge drinkers, and over 30 million more having used illicit drugs in the past month, many of whom will not meet the criteria of alcohol or substance use disorders, SBIRT is an essential intervention to integrate in behavioral health settings. This interactive two-part training discusses validated evidence-based tools used in SBIRT, how to provide a brief intervention and skills practice, and essential components of successful facilitation of referrals to treatment. Presenter Diana Padilla -- is Research Project Manager at the New York State Psychiatric Institute, Division of Substance Use Disorders, Columbia University Medical Center.

September 27, 2021 10am-12pm Course Description When working with Hispanic and Latino populations, clear language should never be a linear process, particularly for a collectivist society that defines and interprets experiences within a cultural context. Latino values such as ‘machismo and personalismo’ can be very insightful, but when defined and understood through an American perspective, we wonder why we feel a ‘disconnect’ with the Hispanic client/patient we need toprovide prevention services to. This interactive presentation will inform on Latino cultural nuances that can reframe communication for Hispanic individuals with substance use and/or mental health problems and discuss prevention strategies to support "recuperación" (recovery). Supplemental Material Transcript PowerPoint

El trabajo entre las organizaciones y sectores interesados en asuntos de la comunidad, toma formas variadas. La relación entre socios se da desde una vinculación de tipo informal (ej. dos agencias intercambian información) hasta una relación mucho más estructurada (ej. múltiples organizaciones que trabajan de cerca para alcanzar una visión compartida).      

La competencia cultural describe la habilidad de una persona u organización para interactuar  efectivamente con personas de diferentes culturas. También significa el respetar y responder a las  creencias en torno a la salud, a los valores, a las prácticas, y a las necesidades culturales y  linguísticas de diversos grupos poblacionales. La competencia cultural es el punto de entrada para la colaboración efectiva. Con ella, estamos  más receptivos a las necesidades, fortalezas, y experiencias de otros. Podemos entender mejor el  uso de substancias en su comunidad. Podemos comprender mejor los factores culturales que  podrían proteger del uso de substancias. Y podemos comenzar a crear un ambiente de  colaboración que apoye la vinculación genuina y significativa y que con toda probabilidad produzca  acercamientos de prevención efectivos y reduzca las disparidades arraigadas.  Resource

Antes de incursionar en nuevos esfuerzos de colaboración, es importante ponderar la composición y naturaleza de nuestras alianzas al presente. ¿Quién comparte en la mesa de prevención? Dicha mesa, ¿refleja la diversidad de la comunidad?¿Qué destrezas, peritaje y perspectivas aportan los socios? ¿Cómo funcionan las relaciones con los diversos socios? ¿Puede identificar algunos patrones relacionados a las diversas relaciones existentes?  ¿Qué acciones se toman para apoyar el trabajo de los socios? Y finalmente, ¿Qué roles se les ha propuesto asuman en su trabajo de prevención - y si esos roles incluyen roles de liderazgo? Esta hoja de trabajo está diseñada para ayudarle a desarrollar un breve inventario de aquellos con quienes usted trabaja y cómo. El analizar sus alianzas existentes le ayudará a visualizar y apreciar el valor de sus socios actuales. También le ayudará a determinar si los socios actuales son los acertados, a la luz de sus prioridades de prevención al presente; y a visualizar dónde necesita reclutar nuevos socios para llenar las brechas y/o para garantizar la representación de los grupos claves.

Introducing: Opioid and Alcohol Misuse and Risk of Suicide: A Literature Review Josh Esrick, MPP, and Emily Patton, MSc, PgDip December 8, 2021, 1-2:30 PM EST COURSE DESCRIPTION Suicide is one of the largest public health concerns facing the United States. Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, it was the second leading cause of death among youth and young adults ages 10-34 and the tenth leading of death overall. Suicide and substance use share many risk factors and substance use, particularly of depressants such as opioids or alcohol, can increase risk of suicide. To support substance use prevention professionals, the Central East PTTC conducted a literature review of opioid and alcohol misuse and risk of suicide. The review sought to identify research on how and to what extent substance use increases risk of suicide and what evidence-based prevention strategies exist that address both the risk of substance use and the risk of suicide. The Central East PTTC created a new report, Opioid and Alcohol Misuse and Risk of Suicide: A Literature Review, summarizing and sharing its findings. This webinar will introduce the report, explain why it was created, explore the information it provides, and answer audience questions about it. The literature review is available here. LEARNING OBJECTIVES Summarize the importance of addressing suicide risk Discuss the connections between substance use and risk of suicide Overview evidence-based prevention strategies that address both substance use risk and suicide risk Explore ways to use the Central East PTTC Literature Review PRESENTERS Josh Esrick, MPP is a Senior Policy Analyst with Carnevale Associates.

According to the CDC, HIV stands for human immunodeficiency virus. It weakens a person’s immune system by destroying important cells that fight disease and infection. If HIV is not treated, it can lead to AIDS (acquired immunodeficiency syndrome), which is the final stage of an HIV infection when the body is unable to fend off disease. The National Institutes of Health (NIH) states, infection happens primarily when people inject drugs and share needles, or other drug equipment and/or when people have unprotected sex with a partner who is already infected. As stated by the CDC, there is currently no effective cure for HIV. Once people get HIV, they have it for life. But with proper medical care, HIV can be controlled. People with HIV who get effective HIV treatment can live long, healthy lives and protect their partner(s). SAMHSA also reports mental illness can interfere with HIV prevention, and adherence to treatment. Mental illness is also linked to behaviors that increase the likelihood of contracting HIV.
