It was an honor to serve @apadivision50.bsky.social as the APA Program Cochair 🏅 it was so lovely to meet everyone in Denver and @silvi-goldstein.bsky.social was a true delight to work with 👯‍♀️ I can’t wait to see all the brilliant programming she has in store for us as she takes over for #APA2026! 💞

Legit learned so much from this episode. Highly recommend giving it a listen as this is rapidly evolving area that will require some base knowledge for researchers, clinicians, and policy makers.

In Behrends et al, only 11% of U.S. syringe services programs (SSPs) offered comprehensive care, while 57% provided basic testing/wound care and 32% offered minimal or no services. Larger scale SSPs with more public funding were more likely to deliver expanded care. bit.ly/45kDatA

If anyone is curious about the current list of search terms being used by right wing activist organizations to harass university professors, here's a public records request I received today from Mike Howell of the Heritage Foundation. Not intimidating or meant to curtail by my speech at all, right?

As shown by Ngo et al, 1 in 4 Veterans on long-term opioid therapy engage in substance use or have a SUD. Co-use is associated with elevated rates of all-cause mortality, overdose, and traumatic death. Awareness may lead to targeted interventions bit.ly/44TQPb3

New paper out now! We explored patient perspectives on using digital measurement-based care in SUD treatment—what helped, what didn’t, and what could be better. Read here: www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.... #SUD #DigitalHealth #MBC

#CSHRB co-authored study says Medication for Opioid Use Disorder (MOUD) as a lifelong treatment approach to manage opioid dependence is still unclear. Evidence suggests those who remain on MOUDs have better outcomes. However, less is known from a patient perspective bit.ly/4i7fVaI

"Without research to point toward a healthier country, there will be poorer national health and less capacity to do what people do...on either end of the political spectrum." Read the Editorial by JAMA Health Forum EIC Sandro Galea and JAMA EIC @kbibbinsdomingo.bsky.social. ja.ma/4b6Z2LJ #MedSky

New report shows that NIH grants fueled $95 billion in economic activity and 407,782 jobs in 2024. That's not to mention the countless lives that biomedical research has saved. Show me a better investment than that. www.forbes.com/sites/michae...

This is such an important project that has informed SO MUCH substance use research. Its termination is thoughtless and will only prevent us from keeping up with current trends.

What a nourishing weekend it was connecting with everyone at #CPA2025 💓 So thankful for the work I get to do and loved seeing all the important work done by my colleagues and dear friends. Big shoutout to @apadivision50.bsky.social for hosting another great Collaborative Perspectives on Addiction.

Inspired by the amazingly strong, heart wrenching, and action-focused opening remarks by @apadivision50.bsky.social President @susan-collins.bsky.social #CPA2025. Thankful for SOAP leadership in these times.

People want and need comfort and want something other than the ER. MDs do so much, but must remember to “bring compassion, warm blankets and other comforts to their patients, remembering that every patient in crisis is someone’s family member.” www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news...

Good morning @apadivision50.bsky.social. Welcome to Day 1 of #CPA2025. We can’t wait to see you for opening remarks and the first keynote at 8AM Narragansett. See you there!
