SUMMARY:Tribal MAT ECHO Clinic
DESCRIPTION:A one-hour clinic will be held every third Tuesday from 12-1pm (PT). The purpose of the monthly Tribal MAT ECHO® Clinic is to support health care providers in Native communities across California to improve the delivery of evidence based treatment for opioid and stimulant use disorders. The Project Extension for Community Healthcare Outcomes (ECHO®) model is a distance learning method that links specialists at academic medical centers with primary care clinicians in local communities. Each clinic begins with a presentation on a topic relevant to the delivery of opioid and/or stimulant use disorder treatment and features a facilitated discussion of a case or clinical question. Attendees are encouraged to bring complex patient cases and clinical questions for peer-to-peer discussion with input and consultation experts. CEs and CMEs available for certified and licensed participants. This project is part of the UCLA Opioid and Stimulant Implementation Support-Training and Technical Assistance (OASIS-TTA) Program.\n\nFeatured Facilitators and Experts:\n\nHeather Momberg\, DNP RN\nDaniel Dickerson\, DO\, MPH\nKatya Adachi Serrano\, MD\nKatie Bell\, MSN\, RN-BC\nAlbert G.

SUMMARY:From Data to Action: Making Sense of Disparities to Drive Equitable Opioid and Stimulant Prevention in Nevada
DESCRIPTION:Behind Nevada’s overdose statistics are clear patterns of inequity shaped by where people live\, work\, and access care—patterns this webinar will help you uncover and act on. We will explore the intersection of health equity and opioid and stimulant misuse in Nevada\, grounding participants in both data and context. Using Nevada-specific epidemiological trends\, this session will guide participants through identifying and interpreting disparities across populations and regions\, while examining the broader social\, structural\, and environmental factors that shape these patterns. \nThrough guided discussion and reflection\, the session will emphasize interpretation of data beyond surface-level trends and connect these insights to equity-informed prevention strategies. The session will close by connecting these insights to real-world prevention efforts\, offering practical ways to center health equity in everyday prevention work. \nLearning Objectives \nBy the end of this webinar\, participants will be able to: \n\nInterpret patterns of disparities across demographic and geographic populations within the Nevada landscape. \nGenerate a hypothesis about contributing social\, structural\, and contextual factors.\nApply a health equity lens to prevention strategies\, including partnerships\, policy\, and protective factors.\nSynthesize insights to develop at least one equity-oriented action step into your work.\n\nPresented By:  \n\nAudeaneh Saberi\, MPH\, is a Project Coordinator for Workforce Development at the Center for the Application of Substance Abuse Technologies (CASAT) in the School of Public Health at the University of Nevada\, Reno (UNR).
