Description
Objective: Substance use disorder (SUD) is an epidemic in the United States. Current standard of care for SUD continues to produce a 40-60% relapse rate. Treatment for SUD is costly and is not obtainable for many individuals. The purpose of this project is to implement mindfulness as an adjunct treatment for SUD to reduce relapse.
Methods: Voluntary program offered at a residential treatment center designed as a team-based project. The combined project includes exercise, wellness, and mindfulness. Adults over the age of 18, male or female with a diagnosis of SUD were eligible. Program consisted of three hourly sessions a week, for a total of three weeks. Sessions included one session of exercise and wellness, one session of mindfulness training, and a combined session. Mindfulness sessions included learning the seven pillars of mindfulness followed by guided meditation. Participants were given a mindfulness journal for daily exercises. Five Facet Mindfulness Questionnaire (FFMQ) was completed before program and on completion. Results: 11 of 22 participants completed the program. FFMQ total scores were analyzed with paired t-test with Wilcoxon signed rank to account for small sample size. Statistical significance was based on an alpha of 0.05, V=10.50, z=2.00 and p=0.45.
Conclusion: This project has the potential to decrease relapse rates by increasing mindfulness in individuals with SUD. Mindfulness training reduces cravings and negative thought processes. Implementing mindfulness training with current standard of care can be cost effective and recommended for all individuals with SUD.

Description
Objectives: To assess whether a web-based video education addressing barriers to the human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine will increase first and second dose administration rates and health care provider intent to vaccinate.
Study Design: Ten health care providers from Vaccines for Children (VFC) clinics in New Mexico were included in this pretest/posttest study. Providers were given a questionnaire adapted from the Determinants of Intent to Vaccinate (DIVA) questionnaire. Only two subscales were utilized for this project (total of 10 items): Adaptation to the Patient’s Profile and General Practitioner’s Commitment to the Vaccine Approach. Martinez et al. (2016) suggest that PCP’s commitment to the vaccination approach” can be used as a stand-alone tool with a Cronbach’s alpha > .70. Following the pretest, which served as consent, providers viewed a short, four video series addressing common barriers to the HPV vaccine, followed by the same questionnaire. First and second dose rates of the HPV vaccine were measured prior to the intervention and three months post intervention using the New Mexico Immunization Information System (NMSIIS).
Results: A Wilcoxon Ranks test was used for statistical analysis of the survey responses. Alpha was set at ≤ .10. Four of the 10 questions were statistically significant for increasing provider intent to vaccinate. HPV first dose rates increased in all three clinics and second dose rates increased in two out of the three clinics.
Conclusions: Web-based education is a successful intervention for increasing
provider intent to vaccinate and first and second dose HPV administration rates. Not only can the intervention be used for the HPV vaccine, but to help increase administration rates of all other vaccines.
