For example, placing reminders or prompts in the practice setting where the clinician can easily see them provides timely cues that reinforce use of the EBPs.

You Fit Together is a guidebook about stress, the body’s reaction to the physical, emotional, or intellectual challenges it faces. Moderate stress can be positive and healthy, but having too much stress can cause problems with physical and/or mental health and raise the risk of problems with alcohol or drugs. The guidebook describes challenges that too much stress can cause, about your own health, the health of someone you know, or the health and well-being of your community as a whole - and tips to improve all of these challenges.      

This guide book is designed for leadership in a trauma-informed care initiative or a ROSC transformation—maybe in an organization, in a whole system, or in a whole community.   A Challenge to Leadership has 8 sections. Each section has a set of “action notes,” which are basically workbook tools.  The Action Notes can be used to start a planning process for a change team or a transformation team.      

Recent research on implementation science highlights the importance of understanding the practical strategies that support uptake of new practices and adoption of evidence-based practices (EBP) by clinicians. For example, placing reminders or prompts in the practice setting where the clinician can easily see them provides timely cues that reinforce use of the EBPs. [see Cullen & Adams, 2012; Leathers, 2016; Sholomskas et al., 2005]. With this in mind, the MPATTC worked with a Motivational Interviewing (MI) expert/researcher to create posters that serve as a reminder/prompt about four important tenets of MI and reinforce use of this EBP by clinicians. These posters can be downloaded in multiple formats directly from the MPATTC website and include a QR code that can be scanned to access additional MI resources, products, and training found within the ATTC Network. It is recommended to display these posters together, however they can be used individually as well. Please note: to maximize the impact of these products, display the 11x17 posters in a location most visible and accessible to clinicians.     To Download:  The MI Prompt/Reminder Posters were designed for display as 11x17 sized posters.

  In an effort to better understand the needs of primary care providers (PCPs) located in the Mountain Plains ATTC region, a survey was conducted with primary care providers working in Community Health Centers (CHCs) located in HHS Region 8 to determine their perceptions, practices, and training/technical assistance needs in relation to substance use disorders (SUDs) and medication assisted treatment (MAT). The survey was distributed to primary care providers in CHCs with the collaboration and assistance of the Community Health Association of Mountain/Plains States (CHAMPS). The survey was completed by PCPs in the months of March, April, and May of 2019. This report provides findings from the entirety of PCPs in Region 8, who responded to the survey.
