http://nyti.ms/1aNLbqs

Manufacturers are designing cigarettes to deliver more nicotine to the lungs. That devious tactic requires a strong response by regulators.

NADER, PHD is a Professor of Physiology and Pharmacology, Wake Forest University School of Medicine, in Winston-Salem, NC.

He received his Ph.D. in 1985 from the University of Minnesota, under the mentorship of Dr. Travis Thompson and completed post-doctoral training in behavioral pharmacology at Uniformed Services University under the mentorship of Dr. James Barrett. In 1988, he went to the University of Chicago, where Dr. William Woolverton trained him in nonhuman primate models of cocaine abuse. Since 1992, Dr. Nader has been on the faculty in the Department of Physiology and Pharmacology at Wake Forest University School of Medicine, where he is Professor.

Please email the program co-chairs (see page 2).  Friday, 9-11 am.   PRE-CONFERENCE WORKSHOP   Treating Adolescent Substance Abuse:  What Works and How Can We Do It? Adolescence is an exciting period of development, as it inherently involves the exploration of identity, autonomy, sexuality, value systems, and peer relationships. Further, during this period, adolescents often “try on” different facets of adult life, including experimentation with health risk behaviors, including alcohol, cigarette, and cannabis use. This experimentation is facilitated by changes in adolescents’ social environment, which becomes increasingly peer-dominated, and has an increasing presence of alcohol and cannabis use opportunities. While many youth continue to adulthood without consequence, the substance use patterns of many adolescents interfere with their academic progress, as well as their health, personal, and social development. This workshop presents an opportunity for us to explore the state of the art of adolescent addictions research, including current empirically supported interventions. In addition, this workshop includes hands-on experience practicing foundational skills in empirically supported intervention approaches (including motivational intervention and contingency management). Participants will depart with basic knowledge of, skills in, and resources to obtain further information in each clinical approach. Presenter: Sarah W. Feldstein Ewing, Ph.D., University of New Mexico, Honors College/Center on Alcoholism, Substance Abuse, and Addictions (CASAA) **This workshop provides 4 CE Credits and pre-registration is required.   SYMPOSIA   We have an exciting lineup of concurrent sessions being offered at the CPA conference.

[DIV28SUPER] Fwd: [DIVOFFICERS] Congress Supports Increasing Investment in Graduate Psychology Education

 

Dear APA Colleagues:

 

We wanted to share two victories for psychology with you today as the President is due to sign the $1.012 trillion Omnibus Appropriations bill to resolve the Fiscal Year 2014 appropriations that will keep the federal government operating through September 30^th. Thanks to the tireless efforts of our grassroots advocates, Congressional support for Graduate Psychology Education(GPE) has never been higher. Congress approved more than $7 million in the mental and behavioral health program at the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), which last year was funded at $2.3 million after being reduced through across the board sequestration cuts. The legislation also transfers another social work training program under that budget line,  so not all of those funds will support GPE, but, appropriations staff have indicated this is intended as an increase for GPE.

 

In addition to gains in the GPE program, House and Senate appropriators rejected the Obama Administration's narrow focus of its $35 million one-year investment in the joint Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) and HRSA Mental and Behavioral Health Education and Training Grant Program. Rather than focusing those investments solely on master's level providers as the Administration had proposed, Congress recognized the importance of doctoral level psychology and included APA requested language directing SAMHSA and HRSA  to include psychology doctoral interns in the program and also directed the agencies, "to ensure that the funding opportunities are distributed relatively equally amongst the aforementioned health professionals."

 

We will continue to monitor the implementation of these two programs and share information with you when funding opportunities are announced.  Thank you for your continued support of our education advocacy agenda.

 

 

Kind regards,
