Join us at our March Seminar Series event featuring a presentation by Dr. Carrie Oser on “Substance Use Treatment & Recovery Among People Involved in the Criminal Legal System in Rural Areas: Examining the Role of Social Networks.”
Social networks are an important, yet overlooked, factor in addiction health services research. No known studies examine geographic differences in egocentric social network characteristics among people receiving prison-based substance use disorder (SUD) treatment and continuing their recoveries after community re-entry. Using social network and qualitative data from both rural and urban criminal legal system (CLS)-involved individuals and CLS SUD treatment staff, this presentation aims to: 1) identify differences in social network characteristics among rural and urban individuals with CLS involvement, 2) examine how these social network differences impact treatment and recovery, and 3) profile a new mHealth social network intervention tailored to support people in recovery with CLS-histories residing in rural counties.
Dr. Carrie Oser is a University Research Professor in the Department of Behavioral Science in the College of Medicine at the University of Kentucky. She serves as the Associate Director of the Center for Health Equity Transformation and the Substance Use Research Priority Area. As PI, Dr. Oser has been NIH-funded for two decades and published over 150 papers on addiction health services, health disparities/equity, HIV, social networks, implementation science, and substance use.
This event is FREE and OPEN to the public. Registration: https://unl.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_3Tv0kQ3ZQOeZZPVn4jIaeA
