Preventing opioid misuse and opioid use disorder in adolescents and young adults.
Presented by Erin Bonar, PhD
Dr. Bonar presents results from pilot work on behavioral interventions delivered via telemedicine and a patient portal-like system the are now being testing in a large RCT as part of the NIH Heal Prevention Initiative. The interventions are rooted in Motivational Interviewing, include an emphasis on cognitive-behavioral skills, and are highly tailored for adolescents and young adults. These promising interventions build on prior efficacious behavioral interventions that showed reductions in primary substance use outcomes and secondary effects on prescription drug misuse.
