What is SATRN?
The Substance Use and Addiction Translational Research Network (SATRN) at ASU is an active network of university researchers, community-based prevention and treatment practitioners, and policy-makers across the state of Arizona, all dedicated to reducing death and distress associated with substance use disorder and addiction.
SATRN's activities aim to foster research-focused communication and collaboration, breaking down barriers between community practitioners and university researchers as well as between traditional academic fields. We seek to open lines of communication between community and university partners about research needs “on the ground”; to help prevention and treatment agencies locate evidence-based programming and other resources; to support learning and collaboration across disciplinary boundaries; and to facilitate innovative research that addresses fundamental gaps in knowledge, and has meaningful impact on issues related to substance use and addiction.
Mission
To foster collaborations among community and university partners to conduct translational research that has meaningful, measurable impact on individual and societal problems related to substance use and addiction in Arizona.
Vision
An Arizona increasingly free from individual & community distress, disease, and death associated with substance use and addiction.
Upcoming Events
The Gene-Environment Interactions in Alcohol Use Disorders: A Developmentally and Culturally Informed Perspective
Jinni Su, Ph.D
MONDAY, NOVEMBER 18TH
12:00 PM | ZOOM
In this talk, Dr. Jinni Su will present recent work examining how genetic risks of alcohol use disorders unfold across development and the role of sociocultural factors in moderating genetic influences on alcohol use and related outcomes among racially-ethnically diverse youth. She will discuss the importance of increasing diversity in genetic studies and call for culturally-informed genetic research. She will discuss the potential (and caveats) of incorporating genetic information in interventions.
Stigma & SUD Data Sharing: Insights From Patients
Adela Grando, Ph.D. & Mengyi Wei, M.A.
MONDAY, DECEMBER 2ND
12:00 PM | ZOOM
Substance use HeAlth REcord Sharing (SHARES) is a 5-year, NIDA-funded research that aims to create technologies to honor patients’ desire to control providers’ access to sensitive substance use disorder (SUD) medical records. This study helps understand how stigma and provider trust affect patients' perceptions of data sensitivity and their willingness to share SUD data. It is based on a survey of 357 English-speaking participants in Arizona.
