TOGETHER AGAINST OVERDOSE: COMMUNITY DEVELOPED TECHNOLOGY TO ENCOURAGE DRUG CHECKING, DISTRIBUTION OF HARM REDUCTION SUPPLIES, AND LINKAGE TO SERVICES - PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT FOR MORE THAN 20 YEARS, NATIONWIDE OVERDOSE DEATH RATES HAVE SET NEW RECORDS ALMOST EVERY YEAR, AND INCREASES CONTINUE. CURRENT DEATHS ARE LARGELY DUE TO ADULTERANTS IN THE ILLICIT DRUG SUPPLY, INCLUDING FENTANYL, XYLAZINE, AND BENZODIAZEPINES. THE UNPREDICTABLE NATURE OF ADULTERATED DRUGS HAS CREATED A NEW SET OF OVERDOSE RISKS FOR PEOPLE WHO USE DRUGS. THIS INCLUDES PEOPLE WHO HAVE USED HEROIN FOR MANY YEARS AS WELL AS PEOPLE WHO USE STIMULANTS AND PREVIOUSLY FACED LITTLE, IF ANY, RISK OF OPIOID OVERDOSE. ALTHOUGH AVAILABLE DRUG CHECKING TOOLS CAN HELP PEOPLE DETERMINE THE PRESENCE OF DANGEROUS ADULTERANTS PRIOR TO CONSUMPTION, THEY MAY NOT BE USED BY THOSE MOST AT RISK. WE, THEREFORE, PROPOSE TO BUILD UPON LONGSTANDING COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIPS AND OUR TEAM’S EXTENSIVE EXPERIENCE DEVELOPING TECHNOLOGY-BASED INTERVENTIONS FOR SUBSTANCE USING POPULATIONS IN COMMUNITY SETTINGS, TO CREATE NEW MATERIALS IN ENGLISH AND SPANISH DESIGNED TO: INCREASE BEHAVIORS THAT PROTECT AGAINST OVERDOSE (INCLUDING DRUG CHECKING), AND FACILITATE LINKAGE TO HARM REDUCTION SERVICES AVAILABLE NEARBY. WE ALSO PLAN TO INCREASE OVERDOSE RELATED HEALTH LITERACY AND TO ENCOURAGE INITIATION OF MEDICATIONS FOR OPIOID USE DISORDER. OVER THE COURSE OF MULTIPLE NIH-FUNDED STUDIES OUR TEAM HAS DEVELOPED A HIGHLY ITERATIVE, PARTICIPATORY METHODOLOGY TO UNDERSTAND BARRIERS TO ENACTING POSITIVE HEALTH BEHAVIORS AMONG SPECIFIC POPULATIONS, AND TO LEARN HOW THESE CAN BE ADDRESSED USING TECHNOLOGY-BASED INTERVENTION CONTENT. THE FIRST STEP IN OUR METHODOLOGY IS TO CONDUCT A SERIES OF INTERVIEWS TO EXAMINE, IN THIS CASE, WHY PEOPLE WHO USE DRUGS DO NOT ENGAGE IN OVERDOSE PROTECTIVE BEHAVIORS, SUCH AS DRUG CHECKING. WE WILL THEN DEVELOP STORYBOARDS (PAPER REPRESENTATIONS OF ONSCREEN CONTENT) TO ADDRESS IDENTIFIED BARRIERS, AND THEN ELICIT PARTICIPANT RESPONSE. AFTER REVISING OUR CONTENT ACCORDINGLY, WE WILL THEN DRAFT INTERVENTION CONTENT INCLUDING SHORT VIDEOS AND STILL FRAME IMAGES PAIRED WITH TEXT IN THE STYLE OF A GRAPHIC NOVEL OR COMIC BOOK. WE WILL THEN EVALUATE THIS CONTENT THROUGH A THIRD WAVE OF INTERVIEWS WITH A NEW SET OF PARTICIPANTS. DURING THIS PROCESS, WE WILL ALSO EMPANEL A STAKEHOLDER ADVISORY BOARD OF CURRENT SUBSTANCE USERS, CARE PROVIDERS, AND PROSPECTIVE PAYERS WHO WE CONSULT AT EACH STEP OF THE DESIGN, DEVELOPMENT, AND EVALUATION OF OUR WORK. AFTER FINALIZING OUR INTERVENTION WE WILL RECRUIT A NEW SAMPLE OF PEOPLE WHO USE DRUGS (N=800) VIA VENUE BASED SAMPLING AND CHAIN REFERRAL (WAVES OF PARTICIPANTS RECRUIT OTHERS, WHO IN TURN RECRUIT ADDITIONAL PARTICIPANTS) FOR A RANDOMIZED CONTROLLED TRIAL EXAMINING WHETHER OUR INTERVENTION MATERIALS MORE EFFECTIVELY ENCOURAGE PROTECTIVE BEHAVIORS COMPARED TO A TREATMENT AS USUAL CONTROL CONDITION. EXPLORATORY ANALYSES WILL EXAMINE INTERVENTION EFFECTIVENESS BY PARTICIPANTS’ BEHAVIORAL CHARACTERISTICS (TYPE OF SUBSTANCES USED, METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION) AND DEMOGRAPHICS. IF SHOWN SUCCESSFUL, OUR SUSTAINABLE, LOW-THRESHOLD INTERVENTION DESIGN CAN BE READILY SCALED AND ADAPTED FOR SUBSTANCE USING POPULATIONS ACROSS THE UNITED STATES.

LOOKING THROUGH THE BOTTLE: EXPLORING ALCOHOL USE AMONG EMERGENCY MEDICAL SERVICE PROVIDERS - AN OFTEN OVERLOOKED YET ESSENTIAL COMPONENT IN THE FIRST RESPONDER SYSTEM, EMERGENCY MEDICAL SERVICE (EMS) PROVIDERS RESPONDED TO ALMOST 49 MILLION EMERGENCY MEDICAL SERVICE (EMS) CALLS IN 2021, ROUTINELY FACING INFECTIOUS DISEASE EXPOSURE, INTENSE WORK ENVIRONMENTS, AND REPEATED EXPOSURE TO TRAUMA AS THEY PROVIDED CARE IN UNCONTROLLED SETTINGS. AS A RESULT, SEVERAL ADVERSE HEALTH EFFECTS EXPERIENCED BY EMS PROVIDERS INCLUDING OBESITY, SLEEP DISORDERS, MUSCULOSKELETAL INJURIES, AND MENTAL HEALTH CONCERNS HAVE BEEN DOCUMENTED. DESPITE THE EMERGENCE OF KNOWN ADVERSE HEALTH IMPACTS, RESEARCH HAS NOT FOCUSED MUCH ATTENTION TO OTHER WELL-KNOWN HEALTH ISSUES SUCH AS ALCOHOL USE. THIS DEARTH OF INFORMATION IS PARTICULARLY CONCERNING GIVEN THE POTENTIAL FOR RISKY ALCOHOL CONSUMPTION AMONG EMS PROVIDERS AS A RESULT OF THEIR STRESSFUL PROFESSION. ADDITIONALLY, SEVERAL KNOWN ADVERSE HEALTH OUTCOMES HAVE BEEN ASSOCIATED WITH ALCOHOL USE (E.G. OCCUPATIONAL OR ACCIDENTAL INJURIES, PHYSICAL VIOLENCE, SLEEP ISSUES, SUBSTANDARD FITNESS, LIVER DISEASE, AND NEUROLOGICAL IMPAIRMENT). THEREFORE, UNDERSTANDING THE ROLE OF ALCOHOL IN EMS CULTURE IS ESSENTIAL TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF HEALTH AND WELLNESS PROGRAMS. THE ROLE OF EMS PROVIDERS HAS BECOME INVALUABLE, RECENTLY HIGHLIGHTED BY THE PANDEMIC, MAKING UNDERSTANDING ALCOHOL USE A PRIORITY TO NOT ONLY THE QUALITY OF EMERGENCY SERVICES PROVIDED TO THE PUBLIC BUT TO THE HEALTH AND SAFETY OF EMS PROVIDERS. USING A MULTI-METHOD APPROACH, THIS STUDY WILL USE A NATIONAL SAMPLE OF EMS PROVIDERS TO PROVIDE A FOUNDATIONAL UNDERSTANDING OF ALCOHOL USE WITHIN THE EMS PROVIDER CULTURE. INTERVIEWS WITH PROVIDERS WILL PROVIDE INSIGHT INTO THE ROLE OF ALCOHOL CONSUMPTION IN EMS CULTURE, FACTORS WHICH PROMOTE OR MODERATE ALCOHOL MISUSE, AND WORKPLACE-FOCUSED POLICY INTERVENTIONS. A RANDOMLY SELECTED SAMPLE OF EMS PROVIDERS WILL IDENTIFY BASELINE PREVALENCE OF ALCOHOL USE PROVIDING A CROSS-SECTIONAL EVALUATION OF SOCIODEMOGRAPHIC AND OCCUPATIONAL RISK FACTORS. A PROSPECTIVE 2-YEAR COMPONENT WILL ALLOW FOR THE EXAMINATION OF ASSOCIATIONS BETWEEN ALCOHOL USE AND BEHAVIORS, AND OCCUPATIONAL, PHYSICAL, AND MENTAL HEALTH OUTCOMES.

THE IMPACT OF PHARMACEUTICAL INDUSTRY MESSAGING ON THE OPIOID CRISIS AMONG U.S. MILITARY VETERANS - ABSTRACT/PROJECT SUMMARY UNDERSTANDING THE ROLE OF THE PHARMACEUTICAL INDUSTRY IN PROPELLING THE CURRENT OPIOID CRISIS IN THE U.S. IS AN ESSENTIAL STRATEGY FOR PREVENTING FUTURE EPIDEMICS. USING MULTIPLE FORMS OF TEXTUAL DATA AND INNOVATIVE METHODOLOGIES FOR DATA MINING AND TRIANGULATION, THIS PROJECT EXAMINES THE SPECIFIC IMPACTS OF INDUSTRY EFFORTS TO TARGET MILITARY VETERANS AS OPIOID CONSUMERS AND ANALYZES HOW NEW INDUSTRY-DRIVEN NARRATIVES, OR SCRIPTS, ABOUT OPIOID ANALGESICS WERE CIRCULATED. VETERANS HAVE MANY VULNERABILITIES AND ARE ONE OF THE POPULATIONS MOST SEVERELY IMPACTED BY THE OPIOID CRISIS AND OPIOID-RELATED HARMS, INCLUDING OVERDOSE AND HIV/HCV INFECTION. IMPORTANT DOCUMENTS EMERGING IN LITIGATION AGAINST PHARMACEUTICAL COMPANIES ESTABLISH THAT VETERANS WERE TARGETED AS AN IMPORTANT CONSUMER NICHE THROUGH ADVOCACY GROUPS AND PAID ACCOUNTS FROM VETERANS ABOUT THE BENEFITS OF OPIOID THERAPIES. HOWEVER, ONLY A SMALL PORTION OF THE DOCUMENTS CURRENTLY BEING REVEALED IN THE PROCESS OF LEGAL DISCOVERY HAVE BEEN EXAMINED BY PUBLIC HEALTH RESEARCHERS, AND VERY LITTLE IS CURRENTLY KNOWN ABOUT BROADER INDUSTRY AGENDAS AND THE PROCESSES BY WHICH PRO-PHARMA NARRATIVES BECAME PART OF VETERAN-SPECIFIC HEALTH DISCOURSE, DRIVING ATTITUDES TOWARD OPIOIDS AND RAISING BARRIERS TO NON-OPIOID PAIN MANAGEMENT. TO IDENTIFY THE THEMES AND ELUCIDATE THE PROCESSES BY WHICH THESE SCRIPTS WERE INTERNALIZED BY DIFFERENT VETERAN POPULATIONS, THIS MIXED-METHOD RESEARCH WILL TRIANGULATE LARGE DATASETS OF PHARMACEUTICAL INDUSTRY MARKETING AND LEGAL DOCUMENTATION WITH VETERAN-THEMED PUBLICATIONS AND THE LIVED EXPERIENCE OF CHRONIC PAIN PATIENTS. FINDINGS WILL BE TRANSLATED INTO DELIVERABLES WHICH POSITIVELY IMPACT PAIN MANAGEMENT POLICY, PRACTICE, AND THE ATTITUDES AND EXPECTATIONS OF VETERANS WITH CHRONIC PAIN. THE SCIENTIFIC TEAM INCLUDES VETERANS AND SCIENTISTS AT THE FOREFRONT OF UNCOVERING HOW THE TOBACCO INDUSTRY TARGETED MILITARY PERSONNEL AND VETERANS, ALONG WITH EXPERTS ON OPIOID USE AND PHARMACEUTICAL INDUSTRY LITIGATION. THE SYSTEMATIC TEXTUAL AND CONTENT ANALYSES IN THIS STUDY REPRESENT A CRITICAL CASE STUDY IN PHARMACEUTICAL INDUSTRY EFFORTS TO CHANGE PRESCRIBING POLICY AND POPULAR CULTURE AND WILL SERVE AS AN IMPORTANT CONTRIBUTION TO LITERATURE ON THE NATURAL HISTORY OF DRUG CRISES AND TO CLINICAL APPROACHES TO PAIN BY ACHIEVING THE FOLLOWING AIMS: AIM 1: USE TEXTUAL MINING TECHNOLOGY AND ANALYTIC METHODS REFINED BY TOBACCO RESEARCHERS TO EXPLICATE THE PHARMACEUTICAL INDUSTRY'S CAMPAIGN TO INFLUENCE VETERANS' (AND VETERANS SERVICE ORGANIZATIONS') PERCEPTIONS OPIOID THERAPIES, PARTICULARLY WITHIN THE CONTEXT OF CHRONIC PAIN MANAGEMENT. AIM 2: CONDUCT QUALITATIVE INTERVIEWS AMONG VETERANS WITH HISTORIES OF PAIN AND OPIOID USE TO UNDERSTAND SOCIOCULTURAL MEANINGS AND COGNITIVE SCRIPTS THAT IMPEDE SAFE, EFFECTIVE, AND MEDICALLY-APPROPRIATE CARE. AIM 3: BASED ON A SYNTHESIS OF DATA FROM AIMS 1 AND 2, CONDUCT T0 AND T1 TRANSLATIONAL RESEARCH TO GENERATE CONCRETE BEST PRACTICES, TOOLS, AND WEB RESOURCES TO GUIDE CLINICAL AND PRESCRIBER ENGAGEMENT WITH VETERAN AND OTHER CHRONIC PAIN POPULATIONS.
