    NIDA Sessions to Examine Treating Substance Use During Pandemic

    • May 17, 2022

    The connection between sleep disorders and substance use disorders will be one of several themes addressed by the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) at APA’s 2022 Annual Meeting in New Orleans. This year’s NIDA research track will also include sessions on noninvasive brain stimulation, advances in treating patients with methamphetamine use disorder, and a lecture by NIDA Director Nora Volkow, M.D., on the social determinants of substance use disorders.

    In her lecture “The Social Determinants of Substance Use Disorders During COVID,” Volkow will describe how NIDA is working to address the roots of the current drug crisis. She will discuss recent studies assessing how to optimally deploy substance use disorder care to disadvantaged groups including people living in rural communities; homeless individuals; and those in prison and jails. Such efforts are needed now more than ever, as COVID-19 continues to spread, including among people with substance use disorders in prisons and homeless shelters.

    The track consists of these sessions:
