I have long wanted to put the essentials all in one place for faculty and students interested in real health policy (as we are at KFF). We finally got our act together, with yours truly as editor and our policy experts as chapter authors. New today: bit.ly/4e2O9eI

I disconnected from X under new mgmt, but am hopeful that #ImpSci & #healthpolicy peeps are still here. ➡️New 📰 in Journal of Substance Use & Addiction Tx (JSAT): How a multi-level leadership & org change strategy supported statewide SUD tx quality ⬅️ w/ Gregory Aarons, PhD Cathleen Willging & co sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

🚨FYI the repository now has AHRF data spanning 2000-2023 If anyone has 2002-2003 files lying around, those are the only holes (except 2010 when the AHRF wasn't constructed) data.mendeley.com/datasets/dwfgx…

This is a really cool study. Highly recommend for #ImpSci people interested in dissemination.

Hey #ARM24 We’re talking Medicaid & SUD treatment access/outcomes today: MCOs, IMDs, 1115s & any other acronyms we can think of w/ the brilliant Maureen Stewart Christina Andrews Stephan Lindler. We promise to make sense of this alphabet soup! Join us @ 1:45pm in Room 318-320

Thank you, NIH Loan Repayment, NIDAnews & my incredible mentors. This #firstgen scholar wouldn't have dreamed of grad school if not for the hopes of an LRP. Thank you for supporting my career & others who are on a mission to eliminate health disparities for substance use treatment.

#EPIS is going worldwide! Our recent #ImpSci contribution *in Japanese*, in the Japanese Journal of Nursing Research w/ Gregory Aarons, PhD Dr Joanna Moullin! My excitement about seeing this in Japanese is peak geekiness! 😀

We need creative policy strategies to sustainably grow the #BehavioralHealth workforce. Briana Last & I highlight opportunities Milbank Memorial Fund & The Milbank Quarterly onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/14…

Does anyone else make soundtracks for their grant writing? Metallica's S&M albums w/ the San Francisco Symphony Musicians have kept me going through 2 #ImpSci grant writing efforts this summer. Any chance we can get a Metallica-San Diego Symphony collab? 🤘

Here by popular demand! Way to give the people what they’ve been asking for Gregory Aarons, PhD! #ImpSci

To sustain the behavioral health workforce, it's crucial to address low wages and high turnover. A new MQ Perspective calls for policies that increase reimbursement and labor protections buff.ly/3YERPhy CC Erika Crable, PhD ASAM #MentalHealth

For anyone who is 😴sleeping 💤on the importance of state ballot measures in health disparities research (aka the 'policy is boring' crowd). An important read on direct democracy w/ useful visuals in Health Affairs... #Medicaid #SDOH #healthpolicy #ImpSci healthaffairs.org/content/briefs…
