Resisting Myths and Reducing Shame: Understanding the Impact of Rape Culture on the Prevalence of Sexual Assault Within the African American Community
Eligible for 1 CE/CME credit
One of the biggest barriers faced by African American female survivors who choose to disclose their abuse is a hostile environment and a tendency towards justification, particularly when the alleged offender happens to be a man of influence. This workshop will explore those barriers and provide strategies for service providers and focus on rape myths and how they support and perpetuate rape culture.

 New #ADAA2020 Science Spotlight Announced
A Walk Through the Lifecycle of the Memory Engram
Presented by Daniella Schiller PhD
Satuday, March 21, 9:30 am to 10:30 am
Discoveries on the neurobiology memory in recent years demand a reconsideration of our standard understanding in favor of a new view of memory. For most of the 20th century, neuroscientists believed that memories are initially labile but stabilize into a permanent engram through a process called consolidation. New evidence suggests that consolidated memories can return to their unstable states and, once destabilized, can be diminished, enhanced, or modified.

from multiple experts in pediatric anxiety (n = 10).
If you are not already a member of the Child and Adolescent SIG please contact us at membership@adaa.org to be added to the call. SIG calls are open to ADAA members only. Not a member yet? Join now.
 Sanne van Rooij, PhD
I became an ADAA member in 2015 when I started as a postdoc at the Grady Trauma Project with Tanja Jovanovic and Kerry Ressler, who co-chaired the conference that year in Miami (the one with the great waterfront dance party). The thing I enjoy the most about ADAA is the community, all the members I have met in the last 5 years. ADAA has also provided me many new opportunities for research and collaboration. I have really enjoyed co-chairing the Genetics & Neuroscience SIG 2017-2019 with Sahib Khalsa. It was a great way to get to know the ADAA organization better and learn more about the conference and what people are most interested in.
Dr. Sanne van Rooij is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at Emory University. She received her Ph.D. in Clinical Neuroscience from Utrecht University (the Netherlands) in 2015. Dr. van Rooij's research aims to identify neurobiological predictors for PTSD development and treatment response and the investigation of novel brain-based treatments. As part of her PhD training with Drs. Kahn and Geuze, she performed a pre- and post-treatment neuroimaging study on war veterans with PTSD. She identified predictors for poor treatment outcome, such as a smaller hippocampus and increased amygdala activation. As a postdoctoral fellow with Drs. Ressler and Jovanovic, she studied the role of the hippocampus in the development of PTSD in acutely and chronically traumatized civilians and children. She is an active member of the Neuroimaging Group of the PTSD psychiatric consortium. Dr. van Rooij collaborates with Emory's Department of Neurosurgery to assess the effect of amygdala ablation and direct amygdala stimulation on PTSD symptoms and biomarkers. She has been an active member of ADAA since 2015.
ADAA is excited to announce that Dr. van Rooij has been awarded the 2020 Donald F. Klein Early Career Investigator Award which will be presented at #ADAA2020 in San Antonio, Texas. The award is presented for the best original research paper on neurobiology, psychopharmacology, psychosocial treatments, or experimental psychopathology of anxiety disorders and depression.

 MGH Bipolar Clinic Study Opportunity
The MGH Bipolar Clinic is recruiting members for their Advocacy Group Dissemination Committee for a PCORI-funded project led by Dr. Andrew Nierenberg and Dr. Louisa Sylvia.
The study “Comparative Effectiveness of Pharmacogenomics for Treatment of Depression (CEPIO-D)” aims to compare the effectiveness of a widely available and widely used combinatorial pharmacogenomic (PGx) test with best practice guideline-concordance treatment to improve well-being in individuals with major depressive disorder. The study will try to find the answer to this practical question: Is pharmacogenomic testing useful or not for patients with depression? Participants are recruited and treated by 40 clinicians across 5 different sites across the country.
The Dissemination Committee we are assembling for this study will be composed of both patient partners and non-patient stakeholders (e.g., health insurers, family members, advocacy groups, clinicians, researchers). The committee will create a wide spectrum of messaging-types in order to disseminate findings appropriately across all possible communication channels (e.g., social media, academic journals, radio and TV, print as well as eNewsletters). Committee members will convene via teleconference every three months, and the members will be paid $75/per hour for their time.

The Chronicle of Social Change
A recent report by the Pew Charitable Trusts indicates that around 50 percent of the population does not believe that addictions are diseases. The respondents emphasized free choice over factors like poverty, racism, hopelessness or biology.
Fortunately, many respondents expressed empathy toward those with substance use problems. But the lack of a shared understanding of addictions as diseases – diseases that have the ability to destroy families and foster illegal behavior — hampers opportunities for comprehensive and effective intervention or prevention.

Previous systematic reviews of educational setting-based preventive interventions suggested a modest effect for anxiety and depression. However, the comparative effectiveness of the multiple competing interventions available has not been assessed. Researchers did a network meta-analysis to identify if any intervention could be considered superior for preventing anxiety and depression in children and young people.

When transgender people undergo sex-reassignment surgery, the beneficial effect on their mental health is still evident — and increasing — years later, a Swedish study suggests.
Overall, people in the study with gender incongruence — that is, their biological gender doesn’t match the gender with which they identify — were six times more likely than people in the general population to visit a doctor for mood and anxiety disorders. They were also three times more likely to be prescribed antidepressants, and six times more likely to be hospitalized after a suicide attempt, researchers found.
But among trans people who had undergone gender-affirming surgery, the longer ago their surgery, the less likely they were to suffer anxiety, depression or suicidal behavior during the study period, researchers reported in The American Journal of Psychiatry.

While the concept of travel risk often conjures up an image of physical violence or disease outbreaks, the reality for corporate travelers is often very different.
Mental health is making up a rapidly growing number of calls to risk management companies, with stress-induced symptoms of anxiety and depression as one of the top issues travelers report. International SOS, perhaps the largest medical assistance and security company worldwide, fields 4.5 million calls a year, with about 40 percent involving issues of mental health. As the frequency continues to rise, companies are becoming increasingly aware of a need to change the corporate support systems in place.

Since the dawn of the corporate office park, mental health has been relegated to the “don’t ask, don’t tell” limbo of the American workplace. People who’ve been diagnosed with a condition such as depression or anxiety aren’t inclined to open up to bosses and colleagues. Shame and stigma prevent some 80 percent of sufferers from seeking help, according to one report. These are expensive problems to keep hidden. Depression alone costs the U.S. economy $210 billion a year, half of which is shouldered by employers in the form of missed work and lost productivity.

Evidence indicates that children often present with unexplained gastrointestinal symptoms. Although such “functional” GI complaints have been shown to often be associated with anxiety in adults and also be highly correlated with experiences of early adversity, studies establishing adversity – GI – anxiety interactions during human development are lacking. Use of GI symptoms as a window into a child’s emotional health could allow for earlier recognition and intervention.
