1.
America (Pregnancy during heroin addiction), chose it because there's not enough research out there about this specific topic, since they usually do more than one drug at a time.
Dony (Smartphone Addiction Among College Students), I wanted to challenge my research skills and learn something new.
2.
America:
What was the age group you targeted? 15-45
What were the most addictive drugs? opioids
Can they use methadone while pregnant? yes
Is there a future treatment plan and if so, what is it? buprenorphine
What are the benefits of using the latest treatment? Buprenorphine can be used in clinics instead of a hospital setting so it makes it more available to rural areas.
Dony:
What the biggest challenge in researching this population? Finding peer-reviewed articles specific to the college student.
What was the most effective treatment with this population? CBT and treatment centers, like traditional centers and non-traditional facilities like a summer camp.
What challenges did the college student have when it came to smartphone addiction? Isolative situations and anxiety
Did you find anything like not being able to keep employment or their grades dropping? Yes, for example, their grades would drop from not doing their homework on time or they would lose their job due to calling in sick from not getting enough sleep because they were on their phones all night.
Do you see more of a HARM reduction model or Abstinence in treatment for cell phone addiction? HARM reduction, because try telling college-age students to abstain from their phones.
3.
America:
I found the state of Tennesse will penalize the woman if they find she does heroin while pregnant. She can get 15+ years in prison if found guilty.
Dony:
The different ways to treat this addiction. One example was the summer camps that are available. Kids that are in their senior year can go and get preventative care before they develop the addiction. I didn't know these camps existed.

1.) Child welfare system and addictions. Katrina was curious about the interactions of populations, as they are both tracts for undergrad tracks and populations that she is involved with currently for her field experience.
2.)

Sarah's modified questions:
What was the training?
Sarah went to three different training one on veterans. She wanted to go to the training because her field supervisor hoped Sarah could bring the training back and start up a program at the facility as well as she had a personal interest.
5 Questions
1.) What was the main purpose of the training?
The main purpose was to illustrate the key points of the facility that was conducting the training and explaining the science behind it. It was geared towards veterans.
2.) is there anything you think the class needs to know from the training?
They should know that therapeutic Horseback riding works off Dr. Perry’s neruosequential model and interacts with equine assisted psychotherapy
3.) what kind of research do you think is out there for the veteran population?
Currently there is not too much research because it is fairly new. There is more qualitative over quantitative research.
4.) what was getting into the training like?
Getting into the training was about who you know. Sarah contacted the program and let them know who she was and where she was at school. The person was one of the only people that had written a textbook on EAP.
5.) Would you recommend this training to all students and why?
Sarah would say this training is more geared towards people that want to specialize in working with Veterans.

What Sarah Learned most
Sarah said what she learned most is that a majority of the professionals attending came from facilities that dealt with substance use and wanted to use the training to build a program at their facilities.  The professionals wanted to expand in their education and work with horses and veterans.
