Prioritizing quality housing, green spaces, and socioeconomic support could impact the government's ability to create a healthier population. wired.trib.al/cJIUnAh
Pls check out this really important piece by @lydialyl highlighting how structurally broken opioid use disorder treatment is in this country and what we need to do urgently, including liberating methadone. vox.com/the-highlight/…
"We need journalism that covers policies on crime, homelessness, and addiction as empirical questions that can be understood through research rather than as purely political battles between loosey-goosey lefties and law and order." from @maiasz wired.com/story/the-stor…
I mis-clicked on one of my 150 open tabs and it happened to be a tab that's been open since 2019 with a paper that has a solution to the exact research problem I've been puzzling over today. This is the moment I've been waiting for and I've decided to never close any tabs again
I wrote a prayer for the survival of the Ukrainian president—and all the he has come to represent. theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/…
Americans should now scrutinize every American political leader who has excused and abetted Russian authoritarianism.
If Ukraine wants to join NATO and/or the EU, that should be our humility and honour to accept. Look at the myriad tales of heart-wrenching bravery at all levels of society and the sheer composure of government - Ukraine is a nation of heroes. 🇺🇦
A missing element in harrowing stories of overwhelmed hospitals and exhausted staff is the decades of CEOs/consultants working to maximize profit and extract maximum value from every employee and ICU bed at all times, leaving hospitals with as little surge capacity as possible.
🧵A THREAD 🧵 1) I've been doing harm reduction work for 15 years and I've learned a few lessons about how to talk about it with people who aren't quite there yet. I presented on this a few years ago and I'm going to share my slides and talking points here with you today -
I just want to put out there today that, at least in my estimation, the highest purpose of medicine is service to others and the relief of suffering. Sometimes shiny prestige opportunities distract from that and make us think it’s about something else.

Very proud of my home state! What a bright spot in an otherwise anxious night!
Frontline healthcare workers literally still don’t even have PPE ten months into a pandemic and the fed gov is spending millions on a vaccine against “fentanyl exposure?” I love preventing overdoses & I love vaccines, & I am saying this is fucking stupid. kare11.com/article/news/u…
We need to stop teaching #pharmacists that #buprenorphine Rx from non-local prescriber, or for a non-local patient, is a “red flag”. Telemedicine is essential for this life-saving medication.
The @NationalCouncil is giving out fifteen $33k grants to harm reduction groups doing innovative things to reach people during Covid, which is pretty much all of you. Take their money! Apps are due Oct. 19. nationalcouncildocs.net/wp-content/upl…
Drug overdoses are surging during COVID and going overlooked. Do you want to reduce drug overdoses and deaths? Do you want to reduce racial disparities in health care and advance health equity? Please sign this letter to legislators! (link at bottom) healthaffairs.org/do/10.1377/hbl…
Every health crisis must be addressed through a lens of equity. Audio-only telehealth to initiate #buprenorphine would save lives in the communities we have struggled the most to reach in the ongoing #opioidcrisis. Read : bit.ly/2FtajLi Sign: bit.ly/33hsZWF

This emerging political narrative that proven harm reduction interventions are not effective for people using fentanyl is a head scratcher. The data on harm reduction interventions is just as strong in the fentanyl era as it was before.
So odd to me that most of the uproar in West Coast cities is about public drug use but people are ignoring the one evidence-based solution for public drug use… overdose prevention sites. Overdose prevention sites provide a private space for using drugs while being monitored.

Awesome to see this from @CDCgov! Hope that this means people at that level will help push for actual policy changes and implementations.

Proud to see this paper in print. Shout it from the rooftops - in real world data MOUD (methadone & buprenorphine) reduce overdose risk and non-MOUD addiction treatments (inpatient, detox) do not. MOUD should always be first line for people with severe OUD. @YaleADM
