Episode Overview
- Care coordination improves buprenorphine initiation rates.
- Masked drug tapering with CBTi aids benzodiazepine discontinuation.
- E-cigarettes with nicotine increase arterial stiffness.
- Cannabis use during adolescence affects academic performance.
- Genetic susceptibility impacts alcohol use disorder risk in soldiers.
Having care coordination with streamlined and easy connection to outpatient treatment was associated with increased initiation.
Get ready to dive into the latest research and findings in addiction medicine with this episode of 'This Week in Addiction Medicine from ASAM'. Host Zach Caruso kicks things off by examining a crucial study from The Lancet Regional Health Americas, focusing on the facilitators and barriers to initiating buprenorphine in emergency departments.
If you've ever wondered why only a small percentage of patients actually fill their prescriptions, this episode breaks down the factors that make a difference, such as care coordination and provider training. It's eye-opening stuff for anyone interested in the opioid crisis and potential solutions. But that's not all. The episode also covers a fascinating study from JAMA Internal Medicine about benzodiazepine tapering methods.
You'll hear about the success of a masked drug taper combined with augmented cognitive behavioural therapy, which significantly improves discontinuation rates. This is especially relevant for middle-aged and older adults grappling with benzodiazepine dependence. Next up, the podcast dives into the cardiovascular risks associated with e-cigarettes, based on research from the Journal of the American Heart Association. If you're vaping or know someone who is, this segment is a must-listen.
It explores how nicotine in e-cigarettes can lead to increased arterial stiffness and other long-term cardiovascular issues. The episode also sheds light on the impact of cannabis use during adolescence and young adulthood on academic achievement, drawing from a meta-analysis in JAMA Pediatrics. The findings suggest a strong link between early cannabis use and lower academic performance, making it an essential topic for parents and educators.
Finally, you'll get insights into alcohol use disorder among US service members and how genetic factors can influence the risk, based on a study in Drug and Alcohol Dependence. This is crucial information for anyone involved in military healthcare or interested in the intersection of genetics and addiction. With its blend of cutting-edge research and practical insights, this episode offers valuable information for healthcare professionals, educators, and anyone affected by addiction issues.
Don't miss out on these important discussions that could make a real difference in understanding and addressing addiction. Why not give it a listen and see what new knowledge you can gain?
