OBJECTIVES/SPECIFIC AIMS: Facilitate relationships and partnership development to address the opioid crisis in Detroit and Wayne County Contribute to real-time conversations on opioid epidemic policy and practice to identify and build consensus on research questions Apply findings from each learning community session to policy briefs to better inform policymakers, providers and consumers; and advocate for institutional responsiveness METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: The study population utilizes a purposive sampling approach to intentionally organize relationships and partnership development. For example, participants registered for the December 2018 session, “Detroit/Wayne County Opioid Crisis Learning Community Series: Data Session,” include representation from school-based health clinics, community and faith-based organizations, health systems, city and county level public health, addiction/recovery organizations, law enforcement, academia and citizens. The team feels this approach ensures and builds diverse, team science perspectives and regional collaboration. The Detroit Area Mental Health Leadership Team formed in 2015 at a retreat held by the University of Michigan’s Clinical and Translational Science Initiative attended by nearly 100 community-academic partners. Mental health, stigma and suicide were identified as community priorities by participants who attended the summit. A mental health workgroup formed and later expanded its membership to strengthen diverse perspectives. The team immediately designed and administered a survey amongst its partners creating the following priorities and focus: substance abuse interventions, healthcare access, and consumer awareness of mental health issues/available resources. Since data, policy and service are common threads to design interventions, the partnership decided to facilitate dialogue and discussion from the community on special topics related to the crisis, and share the community’s recommendations on how to address them. The learning community series was designed as a bi-lingual format for sharing and expression. Deliberative democracy encourages inclusion of voices, interests and opinions often not heard or included in decision-making processes; driving the project’s purposive sampling approach. Institutional responsiveness and advocacy for adoption of the community’s recommendations will occur through strategic policy briefs summarizing each learning community session and the entire series. A dissemination plan will be utilized to encourage the policy briefs reach appropriate audiences for capacity building and institutional responsiveness. The learning community series will provide 5 sessions on data (impacting adolescents, emerging adults, and 20-mid 30 year-old adults), recovery/law enforcement, prescribing, and marijuana. The session topics arose from earlier assessment conducted by the Detroit Area Mental Health Leadership Team. RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: A response to the opioid crisis should address community priorities identified through data, research...
