Video Summary
Dr. Karen Drexler, the Medical Director for the American Academy of Addiction Psychiatry, moderates a poster session featuring three papers. The first paper, presented by Dr. Joseph Aikekweri from the University of Chicago, explores the association between alcohol use and treatment with highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) among people living with HIV. The study finds that people currently on HAART were more likely to have a history of alcohol use compared to those not on HAART. However, there was no significant difference in alcohol use between those on HAART and those not on HAART. The second paper, presented by Dr. Mohamed Keshkar from Washington State University, examines the impact of COVID-19 on individuals with co-occurring alcohol use disorder and serious mental illness. The study finds that COVID-19 has a negative impact on mental health and finances of this population, but also highlights the importance of education and outreach regarding COVID-19 prevention and vaccination. The third paper, presented by Dr. Carrie Mintz from Washington University in St. Louis, investigates the use of prescription stimulants among individuals with co-occurring opioid use disorder and ADHD. The study finds that stimulant use is associated with an increased risk of drug-related poisoning but is also associated with longer retention in buprenorphine treatment, which is protective against overdose. Overall, these studies provide insights into the complex relationship between substance use disorders and other health conditions, highlighting the need for tailored interventions and treatment approaches.
