(CLOSED) Seeking topic suggestions for the 2012 SAMHSA Advisory series
SAMHSA would like to get your input on the topics for the 2012 Advisory publication serials. This publication is generally up to eight pages long and we usually develop 3 to 4 per year.
The Advisory serials provide behavioral health professionals with timely information on a broad range of hot topics in the behavioral health field. They also briefly describe new or underused approaches that can improve the quality of treatment for people with behavioral health issues.
Examples of past Advisories can be viewed at: http://www.kap.samhsa.gov/products/manuals/advisory/index.htm
Additional input to include groundbreaking studies, promising practices, and the benefits or limitations of a particular treatment modality would be appreciated. The topics should not duplicate information that is also readily available.
As an FYI and to avoid duplication, there are currently several Advisory publications in development or in the pipeline for development:
• Rapid HIV testing and substance abuse treatment facilities
• An intro to pathological & problem gambling for behavioral health providers
• The Role of Biomarkers in the Treatment of Alcohol Use Disorders (rev.)
• Vivitrol for the treatment of opioid use disorders
• Alcohol use disorders and diabetes
• Dialectical behavioral therapy
Please use this forum to make recommendations and vote on proposed Advisory topics.
This forum will close on 12/19 at 9:00 a.m. EST.
Contact NewMedia@samhsa.hhs.gov with questions.
*Note Also open for comment, is SAMHSA’s In Brief Series http://bit.ly/sLAmn1.

Hepatitis Screening and Linkage to Care
Hepatitis is very prevalent among people with a history of substance abuse. With a new rapid test on the market, people will be able to find out their status easier and faster, but linkage to medical services is often a challenge. I would like to see a Advisory that highlights models that have successfully bridged the gap between mental/behavioral health and substance abuse services and specialty medical care for hepatitis.

Legal implications of ADA for individuals with mental illness from Workplace Bullying
A lot of attention has focused on student-on-student bullying; however, boss-on-employee is more evident as ever. Hopefully this session will focus on teachers because they are one of the most abused employees in the country. This bullying leads, not only, social withdraw, depression, panic disorders, anxiety, stress within the workplace but it is evident in these individuals' home life in that marriages fall apart, employees attempt or complete suicide, and the household becomes non-supportive of each other.
