A comprehensive approach to fighting the opioid epidemic and similar epidemics must account for children, youth, and families. This episode discusses current data, clinical approaches, and resources to support children and youth affected by substance use.

But how have increasing concerns and policies that target opioid misuse impacted pain management options? In this episode, we'll discuss how balanced opioid policies and maintaining medically legitimate access to controlled pain medications are possible. We'll also discuss the ethical concerns and common misconceptions of pain management for dying patients with opioid use disorder.

However, disparities in access to medications for opioid use disorder (MOUD) continue to be a challenge. We'll examine disparities in access for people with disabilities, racial and ethnic variations to access, and geographic maldistribution of relevant providers and services. Addressing access to MOUD is a critical piece in combating the opioid overdose epidemic.

Opioid Use: A Prevention Approach

But one-size-fits-all policies and detoxification as a primary treatment for OUD are often, at best, ineffective and at worst, cause harm. In this episode, we discuss applying a prevention framework to guide action and policy through prevention, treatment, and harm reduction. The prevention framework uses data-driven processes that consider predisposing risk factors and social determinants of health in addition to evidence-based prevention strategies. It offers physicians a powerful tool to combat OUD and the opioid overdose epidemic.

As a result, maternal mortality studies in several states have identified substance use as a major risk factor for pregnancy-associated deaths. Physicians are being called to take an active role in recognizing and addressing opioid misuse and untreated opioid use disorder (OUD) in pregnancy. In this episode, we'll discuss the nuances of how we screen, assess, and care for pregnant people with OUD including the intricacies of mandatory reporting.
