An upcoming webinar in the NIH HEAL Initiative’s HEAL Headliners series will highlight the experiences of 2 projects in meaningfully engaging patients and community partners throughout the research process to ensure that the findings have the greatest public health impact. The webinar will be held on Friday, May 5, 2023, at 2:00 pm eastern.

Rosemarie Martin of Brown University and Linda Hurley of CODAC Behavioral Heathcare will report on a study of a systems-change approach for increasing use of medications for opioid use disorder across 7 probation and parole sites to improve linkage of justice-involved individuals to evidence-based treatment. In addition, Kirsten Johansen of Hennepin Healthcare will describe the role of patient and community engagement in the HOPE clinical trial of tailored patient-centered interventions to manage pain and reduce opioid use among patients receiving hemodialysis.
