This one-hour, on-demand, journal article-based activity examines a retrospective single-center cohort study of the predictors of AUD treatment among inpatients with alcohol-associated liver disease. A brief intervention on AUD had the strongest association with receiving AUD treatment in our cohort. Further efforts to incorporate brief interventions when offering AUD treatment to patients with ALD may be beneficial.

This one-hour, on-demand, journal article-based activity presents original research on the prescribing of medications for alcohol use disorder (MAUD) among birthing people with an alcohol-related diagnosis. Although safety and effectiveness of medications for alcohol use disorder (MAUD) are generally well established for adults, the literature on its use in pregnancy is limited. To better understand the benefit and risks of medications for AUD in pregnancy, this study offers an analysis of insurance claim data to estimate the prevalence of birthing people currently receiving prescriptions for medications for alcohol use disorder.

This 8-hour, online course provides the education that is essential for providers to identify, assess, diagnose, and manage pregnant and postpartum patients with opioid use disorder (OUD).

This one-hour, on-demand, journal article-based activity presents original, qualitative research on development of collaborations between community-based health care providers and those who work with patients in carceral settings to ensure continuity of MOUD upon release. Though recognized as critical, little guidance is available about developing this kind of collaboration. This study highlights key facilitators and challenges of building this type of cross-agency collaboration to support the development of best practices for community-based health care providers.

This one-hour, on-demand, journal article-based activity presents original research on the impact of the opioid intervention court (OIC) as an alternative to traditional treatment courts for people with OUD who are involved with the criminal-legal system and at high risk of overdose. The OICs more rapidly link court participants to treatment in comparison to traditional drug courts. As the time between arrest and post-arraignment drug court entry is one of high risk and may suspend access to treatment for OUD, OICs may demonstrate improved ability to immediately stabilize and reduce overdose risk in court participants.
