Project ECHO: Opioid Response from the Prevention Lens
Opioid misuse and opioid use disorder can have significant impacts on health for individuals and communities. However, prevention can be effective in reducing opioid misuse and risk of overdose when prevention professionals have the tools and knowledge to implement evidence-based strategies to address opioid misuse when working with individuals and communities.
Through this Project ECHO, we will seek to provide support and education for substance misuse prevention professionals to address issues related to opioid misuse in their states and communities with strategies supported by prevention science. The overall goal of this ECHO is to increase the use of evidence-based approaches for opioid misuse prevention among prevention professionals in New England.
Learning Objectives:
- Describe trends in opioid use at the local, state or national level.
- Identify current evidence-based strategies to address opioid misuse prevention.
- Discuss the intersection of prevention and harm reduction as it relates to opioid misuse and opioid use disorder.
- Describe the role of the prevention specialist to address impacts of opioid use at the community level
