UVM Integrative Pain Management Conference May 5, 2023

 Gail is passing along an announcement for a one-day conference on integrative pain management organized by the University of Vermont Medical Center’s innovative Comprehensive Pain Program. It’s more practitioner oriented than researcher oriented, but definitely focused on evidence-based practices. Maybe see you there!

Integrative Pain Management Conference

May 5, 2023

 

REGISTER NOW
Early Bird Prices until April 1, 2023

 

Join an interdisciplinary group of colleagues for a day of:

•                     Learning best practices, research, and innovations in integrative approaches for chronic pain management

•                     Exploring ways to provide integrative chronic pain treatment to medically underserved populations

•                     Understanding policy initiatives focused on increasing access to integrative, comprehensive pain treatments

•                     Discovering techniques that can be integrated into day-to-day clinical practice

•                     Networking with and learning from an interdisciplinary group of colleagues 

Clinical Research Oriented Workshop (CROW) Meeting: Jan 26 2023

Present:   Nancy Gell, Ben Littenberg, Jennifer Oshita, Adam Sprouse Blum, Connie van Eeghen, Liz Winterbauer (6)

 1.           Warm Up: Great to see such a strong Specific Aims page!

2.               Nancy: exercise program for remote delivery to rural, older cancer survivors: physical activity is generally lower in CA survivors, and they tend to have worse physical function.  This is a study to see if more PA improves their physical function.

a.       Does reference to the underserved in healthcare access help support the focus or distract from first para?

b.       Consider quantifying the impact: number of people affected

c.       Consider expanding the population of interest: NCI is interested in younger populations too

                                                   i.      Limit the cancers of interest; include metastatic cancer? Exclude non-melanoma skin cancer?

                                                 ii.      Add a life expectancy of at least 10 months? Alternatively, don’t worry about this and add Stage IV cancer

                                               iii.      Is Stage I going to help determine a difference?

                                               iv.      Specify “completed adjuvant chemotherapy” – what does “completed” mean?

d.       Tighten wording

e.       Consider asking for medical clearance as an inclusion criterion

f.        Consider adding a wait list as incentive for those in the control group to increase retention, in addition to the “attention” placebo

g.       “integrate multidisciplinary expertise” – needed phrase?

h.       Consider adding to secondary outcomes, e.g. self-reported falls, symptoms, and new diagnoses

                                                   i.      Recast Aim 2 as “physical activity,” to separate from Aim 1 “physical function”

                                                 ii.      Do not use “primary outcome” vs “secondary outcomes” as the basis for differentiating Aim 1 froom Aim 2

i.         Barriers are identified at the end of the page; consider moving up to second para

3.                   Next week:  TBD

Crocker: Data for Social Good: The Justice Research Initiative at the University of Vermont

Abigail Crocker, PhD will present the next UVM Statistics seminar

Title: Data for Social Good: The Justice Research Initiative at the University of Vermont

Date: Tuesday 2/21 @4:30 

Where: Innovation E430

Abstract: Transforming the criminal-legal system is of broad interest nationally as well as locally in Vermont. There is growing recognition of the inequities in our current system as well as its negative impacts on justice-involved populations and communities, including harms from mass incarceration. The Covid-19 pandemic has magnified these issues, highlighting the need for a public health approach to meaningful systems change. The UVM Justice Research Initiative (JRI) engages researchers, state leaders, and community stakeholders in a data-driven approach for understanding and addressing critical justice related issues. This talk will provide an overview of JRI and how data and community-based participatory research (CBPR) are utilized across three projects, 1) Prison Research and Innovation Network (PRIN): A project championed by the Urban Institute with funding from Arnold Ventures, PRIN is consortium of 5 states, each using data and CBPR to make prisons more transparent and humane. In Vermont, this includes a partnership with UVM, the Vermont Department of Corrections, and the Southern State Correctional Facility; 2) National Center on Restorative Justice (NCORJ): A partnership between UVM, the University of San Diego, and the Vermont Law School with funding from the US Office of Justice Programs, Bureau of Justice Assistance. NCORJ aims to advance research on equity-centered, non-carceral approaches to accountability and to grow the next generation of justice researchers; 3) Vermont Children of Incarcerated Parents Initiative (VT-COIP): A local collaboration between UVM and Lund Family Center to advance research on addressing the harms of parental incarceration in Vermont. The talk will conclude with a brief discussion of JRI’s next steps, including potential opportunities for interdisciplinary collaborations and student engagement.
