Description

This drop-in session is open to nurses around the country. We are excited to announce that we are moving to a new format for Nurse Chat Live--every month, we will review an evidence-based article and discuss its implications for nursing practice. This includes new research studies as well as landmark studies relevant to substance use disorder nursing practice.

This month, we will be going over: "Disparities by Sex and Race and Ethnicity in Death Rates Due to Opioid Overdose Among Adults 55 Years or Older, 1999 to 2019" by Mason M, Soliman R, Kim HS, Post LA. To view the article please see the attached flyer.
