Video Summary

Thank you for joining the paper session of the AAAP annual conference. The session featured five presentations on various topics related to substance use, addiction, and mental health in different populations. The first presentation, by Dr. Amy Yule, discussed provider experience with overdose death. The survey conducted by Dr. Yule revealed that many providers do not feel well prepared to cope with a patient overdose death or to support a colleague after such an event. The second presentation, by Dr. Brian Furlan, focused on COVID-19 vaccine administration and hesitation among psychiatric emergency patients. The study found that many patients in the emergency room were hesitant to receive the vaccine, with administrative challenges also contributing to lower vaccination rates. The third presentation, by Dr. Arun Prasad, examined long-term opioid prescription and its efficacy in an inner-city opiate treatment program. The study found that most patients were able to successfully reduce their dosage of methadone over time. The fourth presentation, by Alana Buffenstein, discussed recruitment bias in U.S. addiction and substance use clinical trials among adults. The study found underrepresentation of certain racial and ethnic groups in these trials. The final presentation, by John Westenburg, focused on an international consensus for the treatment and management of high-risk substance use and increased risk of overdose among youth. The study aimed to establish standard practices for the screening, treatment, and management of substance use disorder in young people. Overall, the presentations highlighted the need for better training and support for providers, improved access to and administration of vaccines, and more inclusive clinical trial recruitment practices.
