ABSTRACT: 
RUBINSTEIN, Robert A. (Syracuse U) Non-Classroom Education: Engaged Learning. There is much discussion of enriching traditional delivery of instruction through out-of-classroom student experiences that develop problem solving skills, collaborative work, social service, and much more.  In this session, one paper addresses interprofessional student collaboration in a clinical setting.  One discusses engaging students in a community effort to help people in trauma due to neighborhood violence.  One explores engaging students in political activism through an activist workshop.  One session addresses ethnical issues in community collaborative projects, and one student engagement in a program for refugees. This session illustrates the broad range of non-classroom education that is currently being offered.

Suburban Opioid and Heroin Use (SMA) - Q&A

Suburban Opioid and Heroin Use (SMA) 
CHAIR: LAMONICA, Aukje (S CT State U) LAMONICA, Aukje (S CT State U) The Gendered Experiences of Opioid and Heroin Users in the Suburbs: A Qualitative Investigation CONROY, Britt and LAMONICA, Aukje (S CT State U) Intergenerational Drug Use and the Effect on Family Dynamics and Relationships BOERI, Miriam (Bentley U) The Road to Suboxone: The Social, Economic, and Political Entanglement in Contemporary Drug Treatment ANKRAH, Josephine (S CT State U) Treatment Expectations of Current Opioid Users
 
ABSTRACT:
LAMONICA, Aukje (S CT State U) Suburban Opioid and Heroin Use. The current opioid crisis is like no other experienced in recent history. Unlike previous cohorts of heroin users, the majority of new opioid users are White, middle class, and live in nonurban areas. There is a lack of research on drug user populations in suburban communities. In this session, we present data from a grant funded ethnographic study focusing on opioid and/or heroin users living in suburban communities of Boston, MA, New Haven, CT, and Atlanta, GA. The four papers focus on intergenerational drug use, gendered experiences of drug use, harm reduction efforts, and treatment experiences.

Part Five: Inviting “the Wisdom of the Crowd”: Building Sustainable Models of Community-Engaged Research

Inviting “the Wisdom of the Crowd”: Building Sustainable Models of Community-Engaged Research 
CHAIR: STEWART, Kenda (VA) 
PANELISTS: DOWNS, Kiersten (USF), 
ONO, Sarah, 
BESTERMAN DAHAN, Karen 
LIND, Jason (VA)
 
ABSTRACT:
STEWART, Kenda (VA) Inviting “the Wisdom of the Crowd”: Building Sustainable Models of Community-Engaged Research. Engagement builds transparency and trust between researchers and communities, fostering a partnership in knowledge co-creation. Within the Veterans Health Administration, researchers and research centers implement diverse models to engage Veteran communities. As Veteran-engagement efforts spread nationwide, development of sustainable, productive relationships must address questions regarding how “community” is defined. Drawing from anthropological theory, VA anthropologists deliberate how to engage communities without falling into tokenism or homogenizing Veteran “culture.” Representing geographically distinct research centers, the panelists discuss building long-term, bi-directional relationships between Veterans and researchers and contemplate engagement strategies inclusive of the diversity that comprises the U.S. Veteran population.
