By participating in this webinar, participants will be able to discuss the breadth, diversity, and array of substance and substance combinations as well as the latest trends in novel psychoactive substances contributing to our current substance abuse pandemic.
Audience members will recognize that while the timing of future abuse/overdose surges cannot be predicted with accuracy due to novel polydrug combinations, evolving ingestion routes, and ever-changing user demographics related to particular surges, lessons from past substance-related surges and outbreaks provide probative and informative lessons from which responses can be fashioned.
Participants will be able to implement strategies for drug landscape monitoring, testing approaches, and harm reduction based on contemporary drug intelligence.
Attendees will be able to mitigate harms occurring in emerging drug outbreaks and will gain insights to assist in factual communication and information dissemination at the federal, state, regional and local level regarding the emergent crises' scope, nature, and impacts.
Speakers: M.J. Menendez, J.D. and Dr. Barry Logan, Ph.D, F-ABFT
Detailed Learning Objectives:
- Discuss the breadth, diversity, and array of substance and substance combinations as well as the latest trends in novel psychoactive substances contributing to our current substance abuse pandemic.
- Understand an overview of current drugs of abuse relating to prevalence and ingestion combinations in post-mortem and human performance populations, and he will discuss threats posed to users by those substances.
- Realize the harms occurring in emerging drug outbreaks and will gain insights to assist in factual communication and information dissemination at the federal, state, regional and local level regarding the emergent crises' scope, nature, and impacts.
