Concurrent Paper Session B-Concurrent Paper Session B

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The video transcript pertains to a series of concurrent paper sessions at a conference, where three research papers were presented. The first presentation, by Dr. Vinod Rao, focused on the implications of telehealth in prescribing stimulants for ADHD. It examined whether telehealth appointments compared to in-person visits increased the risk of developing substance or stimulant use disorders. His research indicated no increased risk when patients never met the prescriber in person before receiving stimulants, but a small risk increase associated with telehealth-based prescriptions for stimulant use disorders specifically was noted.<br /><br />The second presentation by Dr. Justin Morales covered low-dose buprenorphine induction for treating opioid use disorders. The study reviewed existing literature and explored the efficacy and safety of this induction method, emphasizing its promise as an alternative treatment with a high success rate and minimal risk of precipitated withdrawal.<br /><br />Lastly, Dr. Precious Obehi-Eseaton presented research on the prevalence of substance use disorders among hospitalized transgender patients, which revealed a higher prevalence compared to the general inpatient population. She emphasized the need for routine screening and counseling for substance use in transgender patients, highlighting the impact of associated mental health challenges like anxiety and depression from stigma and identity struggles. Each presentation highlighted potential clinical and societal implications while acknowledging study limitations.
