  68. <p>The Center for the Clinical Trials Network is pleased to announce plans for a <em>Journal of Substance Abuse Treatment</em> Supplement reviewing the first two decades of the CTN with a focus on the past 10 years.</p>
  69. <p>Dennis McCarty (Western States Node) and <span style="color:#008000;"><strong>Dennis Donovan (Pacific Northwest Node)</strong></span> have volunteered to serve as guest editors and will ask CTN investigators to serve as reviewers for the papers in the supplement.</p>
  70. <p>The issue will reflect on the development of the CTN with commentary, and will include integrative summaries of the work the CTN has supported to close the gap between practice and research for the treatment of drug use disorders. A point of emphasis will be the extension of CTN from specialty addiction treatment services to general medical settings and healthcare systems. An additional focus will be research embedded in clinical care which utilizes pragmatic designs, leverages existing clinical staff, and evaluates strategies or approaches for advancing evidence-based care that can be sustainably implemented and disseminated in these settings.</p>
  71. <p>To participate in the issue, <span style="color:#008000;"><strong>email a one-page concept of potential papers</strong> </span>to Dennis McCarty (<a href="mailto:mccartyd@ohsu.edu">mccartyd@ohsu.edu</a>) and Dennis Donovan (<a href="mailto:ddonovan@uw.edu">ddonovan@uw.edu</a>) with a copy to Udi Ghitza (<a href="mailto:ghitzau@nida.nih.gov">ghitzau@nida.nih.gov</a>) and Landhing Moran (<a href="mailto:landhing.moran@nih.gov">landhing.moran@nih.gov</a>) in the Center for the Clinical Trials Network for review and approval to proceed before drafting a full manuscript. <span style="color:#800000;"><strong>The due date for paper concepts is April 29</strong></span>.</p>
  72. <p>CTN policy requires papers to be reviewed in the CTN publication committee before submission to <em>JSAT</em>. All manuscripts submitted to <em>JSAT</em> will undergo peer review.</p>

  156. <p><a href="http://bit.ly/adaistaff_donovan"><strong>Dennis M. Donovan</strong></a> has been the director of the Alcohol and Drug Abuse Institute since 1993 and a UW faculty member since 1981; he has been a Professor in Psychiatry &amp; Behavioral Sciences and Adjunct Professor in the UW Departments of Psychology, Health Services, and Global Health.  He also directed the Substance Abuse and HIV/STI Scientific Working Group within the UW&#8217;s Center for AIDS Research. Dr. Donovan has been a Principal Investigator of numerous federally funded grants, including <a href="http://www.niaaa.nih.gov/news-events/news-releases/niaaa-reports-project-match-main-findings">NIAAA&#8217;s Project MATCH</a>, the <a href="http://www.niaaa.nih.gov/research/major-initiatives/combine-study">NIAAA COMBINE Study</a>, and NIDA&#8217;s <a href="http://www.drugabuse.gov/about-nida/organization/cctn/ctn">National Drug Abuse Treatment Clinical Trials Network (CTN)</a>.  He has published more than <a href="http://lib.adai.washington.edu/dbtw-wpd/exec/dbtwpub.dll?BU=http%3A//lib.adai.washington.edu/articlesearch.htm&amp;QB0=AND&amp;QF0=Author&amp;QI0=Donovan%20D*%2FProject%20MATCH%2FCOMBINE&amp;QB1=AND&amp;QF1=PubNo&amp;QI1=*&amp;TN=ArticlesMain&amp;DF=PubsDonovan&amp;RF=PubsDonovan&amp;AC=QBE_QUERY&amp;CS=0&amp;MF=searchbutton.ini">300 articles, chapters, and books</a> in the area of alcoholism and addictive behaviors.</p>
  157. <p>Before coming to ADAI, Dr. Donovan was affiliated with the Addictions Treatment Center at the Seattle Division of the Department of Veterans Affairs Puget Sound Health Care System for over 20 years, involved in clinical, administrative, training, and research activities. At the VA he directed the Inpatient Treatment Program and Assistant Director of the Addictions Treatment Center. Prior to moving full time to the University of Washington and ADAI, he served as the Associate Director and then Acting Director of the first Center of Excellence in Substance Abuse Treatment and Education (CESATE) within the Department of Veterans Affairs nationally. Among his many contributions within the VA system was the development of the first interdisciplinary fellowship in substance abuse treatment, including postdoctoral clinical psychologists, and post-masters nursing, social work, and occupational therapist trainees. In 2013, he was invited to serve on the Institute of Medicine&#8217;s (IOM) Committee for an <a href="https://www.nap.edu/catalog/24915/evaluation-of-the-department-of-veterans-affairs-mental-health-services">Evaluation of the Department of Veterans Affairs Mental Health Services</a>.</p>
  158. <p>The University of Washington will launch a national search for a new director of ADAI soon; until then, <a href="http://bit.ly/adaistaff_bantagreen">Dr. Caleb Banta-Green</a>, Principal Research Scientist at ADAI, will serve as interim director.</p>
  159. <p>Dennis <strong>(aka &#8220;Dr. Pun-ovan&#8221;</strong>)&#8217;s retirement will be noted at a party on August 30 with many Seattle colleagues and friends on hand to wish him well.  Thank you, Dennis, for your decades of good work and good cheer at ADAI and for the CTN! Best wishes and happy kayaking!</p>

Women report more issues with drug, medical, psychological, family/social, and employment problems, while men report more problems with legal and alcohol-related issues.</p>
  187. <p>Additionally, while there was a <span style="color:#000000;">265% increase in prescription opioid overdoses for men</span> between 1999 and 2010, <span style="color:#000000;">women experienced a 400% increase</span>. Building knowledge of gender differences in demographic and clinical characteristics could help improve outcomes for both men and women in treatment.</p>
  188. <p>This analysis, co-authored by <span style="color:#008000;"><strong>PN Node investigator Mary Hatch-Maillette</strong></span>, PhD (Alcohol &amp; Drug Abuse Institute, UW), examined<span style="color:#000000;"> baseline gender differences in individuals with OUD receiving inpatient services,</span> as part of <a href="http://ctndisseminationlibrary.org/protocols/ctn0051.htm">NIDA Clinical Trials Network protocol CTN-0051</a>, a randomized, controlled trial comparing extended-release naltrexone to buprenorphine. Participants (N=570) provided demographic, substance use, and psychiatric history information.</p>
  189. <p>Results found that the women in the study, compared to the men, were:</p>
  190. <ul>
  191. <li>significantly <span style="color:#008000;"><strong>younger</strong></span>;</li>
  192. <li>more likely to identify as <span style="color:#008000;"><strong>bisexual</strong></span>, live with a sexual partner, and be <span style="color:#008000;"><strong>financially dependent</strong></span> on someone else;</li>
  193. <li>less likely to be <span style="color:#008000;"><strong>employed</strong></span>;</li>
  194. <li>more likely to report <span style="color:#008000;"><strong>psychiatric history</strong> </span>(anxiety/panic disorder, bipolar disorder, major depression);</li>
  195. <li>more likely to engage in <span style="color:#008000;"><strong>sexual and drug risk behaviors</strong> </span>(exchanging sex for drugs, sharing injection equipment).</li>
  196. </ul>
  197. <p>Women also reported shorter duration, but similar age of onset, of opioid use.</p>
  198. <p><span style="text-decoration:underline;"><strong>Conclusions</strong></span>: Findings underscore <span style="color:#008000;"><strong>economic, psychiatric, and infection vulnerability among women with OUD</strong></span>, which may complicate treatment initiation, retention, and recovery. Gender-specific interventions focused on these areas of disparity for women with OUD should be considered, including integration of OUD care with treatment for co-occurring psychiatric disorders and trauma, couples-based risk reduction interventions which address relational dynamics, and interventions that address the unique needs of sexual minority women.</p>

  229. <p><strong>Dr. Mary Hatch-Maillette</strong> will be the Co-lead Investigator of the new protocol CTN-0082, <em>Implementation Survey of PrEP and Opioid Use Related Services In STI Clinics and MSM-Centered Community Based Organizations (CBOs)</em>, along with <strong>Dr. Susan Tross</strong> of the Greater New York Node.</p>
  230. <p>While HIV incidence in the broader population in the US decreased by 18%, between 2008 and 2014, among men who have sex with men (MSM), it increased by 6%. Pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) is at the cutting edge of HIV prevention worldwide, yet widespread use and promotion of PrEP has not been widely adopted. Also, despite of current evidence on efficacy of Naloxone and MAT interventions to prevent opioid overdose and treat opioid use disorders (OUD), appropriate models to implement in MSM-Centered CBOs are yet to be identified. Information (e.g. access, readiness, capacity, barriers, resource gaps, etc.) is needed to assist in the effort to increase awareness and use of PrEP and adoption of OUD interventions.</p>
  231. <p>The PrEP Survey study aims to identify health department STI clinics and and/or HIV- centered community-based organizations delivering services to assess: 1) program directors’ and providers’ knowledge/awareness of, interest in, perceived challenges / facilitators to and strategies for, offering PrEP and OUD interventions 2) and MSM’s knowledge / awareness of, interest in, perceived challenges/facilitators to and recommended strategies for, being offered PrEP and OUD interventions.</p>
  232. <p>Clinical sites where the study will be implemented have not yet been announced.</p>
