Annotation: This systematic review examined the benefits and harms of primary care-relevant interventions to prevent illicit and nonmedical drug use in children, adolescents, and young adults to inform the United States Preventive Services Task Force. Data sources included MEDLINE, PubMED, PsycINFO, and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials; in addition, references of relevant publications and government web sites were also searched. The review identified 29 trials that met inclusion criteria; 26 of the trials were general prevention trials that focused on nonpregnant youth covering the ages 10 through 24 years. The review found low strength of evidence on the benefits of behavioral counseling interventions to prevent illicit and nonmedical substance use in young people.

Annotation: This report systematically updates the 2013 United States Preventive Services Task Force review on primary care relevant interventions for tobacco use prevention and cessation in children and adolescents. Data sources included the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials and Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, MEDLINE, PsycINFO, and EMBASE, with searches conducted for literature published between September 1, 2012, to June 25, 2019, with additional surveillance of relevant literature through February 7, 2020. The review concluded that behavioral interventions can reduce the likelihood of smoking initiation in nonsmoking youth and young adults. Further research is needed to identify effective interventions for youth who already smoke or use other tobacco products, such as e-cigarettes.

Annotation: This webinar highlights two innovative telehealth programs developed to address mental health and substance use disorders during the COVID-19 pandemic. The first presentation by Dr. Rachel Whitman describes Rhode Island's 24/7 buprenorphine hotline, which provides telephone-based treatment for opioid use disorder without requiring video capability, making it accessible to vulnerable populations with limited technology access. The second presentation by Dr. Gwen Latendresse showcases Utah's project to implement universal electronic screening for perinatal depression in rural public health districts and provide telehealth group therapy sessions for women with mild to moderate symptoms. Both speakers emphasize how the pandemic accelerated telehealth adoption while simultaneously creating greater barriers to care access. They address equity concerns, highlighting the importance of audio-only options to reach marginalized populations, and discuss program outcomes, future goals, and lessons learned about expanding telehealth for behavioral health treatment.

Annotation: This issue brief from the Association of Maternal & Child Health Programs examines the intersection of housing instability, mental health, and substance use disorders (SUD) among maternal and child health populations. It highlights how homelessness disproportionately affects women and children, with 33% of the U.S. homeless population being families with children, and describes how housing instability both contributes to and is exacerbated by mental illness and SUD. The document outlines various housing intervention models, from prevention to permanent supportive housing, including Recovery Housing and Housing First approaches, and emphasizes the importance of cross-system collaborations between healthcare and housing partners. It presents successful state initiatives and partnerships between Title V programs, Medicaid agencies, child welfare departments, and housing authorities, such as Massachusetts' FOR Families program and North Carolina's Healthy Opportunities Pilot. The brief concludes with specific strategies for Title V programs to address these intersecting challenges, including promoting housing instability screening in healthcare settings, partnering with housing authorities, and ensuring home visitors are equipped with appropriate tools and resources.
