Abstract

Weexamined thebenefits of a collaboration between the IndianHealth Service and an academic medical center to address the high rates of unintentional drug overdose in American Indians/Alaska Natives. In January 2015, the Indian Health Service became the first federal agency to mandate training in pain and opioid substance use disorder for all prescribing clinicians. More than 1300 Indian Health Service clinicians were trained in 7 possible 5-hour courses specific to pain and addiction. We noted positive changes in pre- and postcourse knowledge, self-efficacy, and attitudes aswell as thematic responses showing the trainings to be comprehensive, interactive, and convenient. © 2013 American Public Health Association.
