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: "Trends in Cannabis Involvement and Risk of Alcohol Involvement in Motor
Vehicle Crash Fatalities in the United
States, 2000–2018" by Marlene C. Lira , et al. For a summary, please visit the Boston University School of Public Health post linked here.
