Stigma is one of the most pervasive barriers to addiction care in the U.S. criminal justice (CJ) system. However, there have been no stigma reduction interventions developed for this context. This project addresses this gap with a new multi-level stigma intervention, Combatting Stigma to Aid Reentry and Recovery (CSTARR), for justice-involved people with addiction and criminal justice staff. This intervention will be implemented in 6 (mostly rural) counties in TN for clients and staff in the Tennessee Recovery Oriented Compliance Strategy (TN-ROCS) program, which coordinates multiple CJ sectors (i.e., courts, corrections, probation, treatment) to divert and treat people with addiction. This project aims to 1) examine the feasibility, acceptability, and implementation considerations of integrating CSTARR in the TN-ROCS program, and 2) determine whether CSTARR impacts individual, staff, and program-level outcomes. We aim to recruit 25 stakeholders, 80 clients, and 75 staff over the course of this 18-month project to participate in our intervention and evaluation efforts. Staff and clients will be asked to complete online surveys before and after the intervention, as well as 1- and 3-month follow ups, for which they will receive gift-cards. The overall goal of this project is to examine the feasibility and utility of stigma reduction efforts in the criminal justice system to determine whether they can help facilitate engagement with evidence-based addiction care and improve client and staff outcomes.
Healthy individuals from the University of Oregon and surrounding community will be recruited for participation in behavioral, fMRI and eye tracking experiments that investigate human memory. Recruitment will involve emails, flyers, and local advertisements. Individuals between the ages of 18-80 (or 18-35 for some studies) will be eligible. The broad objective of the research is to understand how humans form distinct memories for similar experiences. Experimental sessions will involve studying and trying to remember various images (e.g., images of natural scenes). The intervention will involve manipulating the similarity and/or learning protocol for the studied images. Outcome measures will include (a) behavioral measures of memory, and/or (b) fMRI measures of hemodynamic activity, and/or (c) eye tracking measures of gaze direction. Experimental sessions will last approximately 1-3 hours.
The investigators propose to develop and evaluate Link for Equity, a trauma-informed system of care. Link, a system of support for ACE-affected children, is composed of universal school Trauma-Informed Care. Preventing Racism through Awareness and Action (PRAA) is a perspective-taking racism/discrimination prevention intervention for school staff that increases awareness of racism and how it impacts students and promotes empathy for students of color. Link for Equity will be translated to be culturally responsive for 12 secondary public schools in metropolitan and rural Minnesota with substantial racial/ethnic minority students and racial/ethnic disparities in school discipline and violence. Using a nested, rigorous, and ethically acceptable randomized waitlist control design, the investigators will implement and evaluate Link for Equity sequentially for two years in each school. The overall goal is to evaluate if Link for Equity can reduce school violence disparities.

Display of information regarding utilization and quality to primary care physicians as they use our computer based system to order radiologic imaging (CT, MR, etc) will reduce unnecessary imaging.
