Oregon Worst In Nation For Selling Tobacco To Minors - Again!

Multnomah County Commissioners heard Tuesday that for the fourth time in fi ve years Oregon has the worst record in the nation for selling tobacco to kids. Every year the state takes a group of 16-year-olds - who look their age - and asks them to buy cigarettes at about 800 randomly selected stores. This year, 21 percent of those kids were successful. Mult-nomah County Commissioner Judy Shiprack said there's been substantial success at stopping older people smoking, but... "While we're patting ourselves on the back, our children are being trained up to be the next generation of consumers," she said. Oregon is one of only about 11 states not to require a license to sell cigarettes. The Oregon legislature is expected to look at the issue next session. It's also expected to consider banning the sale of e-cigarettes to minors. Currently they can be sold to any child that walks into a store. In September 2013, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) published a survey that showed use of e-cigarettes among middle and high schools students doubled from 2011 to 2012. The CDC found 10% of high school students had tried an e-cigarette last year, compared with 5% the previous year. According to the survey, 1.8 million middle and high school students said they tried e-cigarettes in 2012. Moreover, in 2012, an estimated 160,000 students who reported ever using e-cigarettes had never used conventional cigarettes. This is a serious concern because the overall impact of e-cigarette use on public health remains uncertain, except we do know once youth are addicted to nicotine, they will try other products, including conventional cigarettes. E-cigarettes, because they are advertised as safe, are introducing youth to nicotine who may have never otherwise tried tobacco products. Youth are also reporting the use of e-cigarette devices to vape marijuana and other drugs. Fueled by a lithium battery and contain-ing a cartridge, a vaporization chamber and a liquid that can contain nicotine or a marijuana extract that is usually high potency THC.

The reality in addiction treatment is that drug testing is currently un-derutilized. Many initial

assessments, conducted by a counselor or even by an addiction specialist physician, do not include informa-tion available from drug testing. Formal programs of intensive treatment, such as partial hospitalization programs or residential programs, as a rule collect specimens for drug testing periodically; however, among patients in general outpatient care, it is the exception rather than the rule that data from drug testing is gathered in a random basis, over the course of treatment. This is particularly the case in programs serving patients in public sector treatment settings. Initial and ongoing evaluation of a patient’s status in addiction treatment can be accompanied by initial and periodic drug testing.

1. Urine drug testing is a key diagnostic and therapeu-tic tool that is useful for patient care and in monitor-ing of the ongoing status of a person who has been treated for addiction. As such, it is a part of medical care, and should not face undue restrictions.

2. Urine drug testing, compounds tested for, and the composition of testing panels ordered by the physi-cian, should be determined by the ordering physician to deliver quality patient care based on the unique clinical presentation of the patient.

3. Arbitrary limits on reimbursements and restric-tions on the number of tests; number of analytes; panel composition and type; frequency of testing; or methodology of testing interfere with the physi-cian’s judgment and represent a discriminatory action prohibited by federal mental health and addiction parity legislation, which states that any limitations on addiction care may not be substantially different from limitations in any other area of health care.

4. Drug testing, like testing for blood sugar and blood pressure, provides clinically useful information that can inform and improve patient care and provides an opportunity for health education by the physician or other healthcare provider.

5. A knowledgeable clinician can use drug testing to verify self-reports, confi rm diagnoses, identify denial and minimization of drug and alcohol use, enhance motivation for treatment, measure biological adapta-tion, assist in development of treatment planning, monitor treatment response, document treatment effectiveness and outcomes, support patient advocacy by validating abstinence from alcohol and drug use, and validate adherence in taking prescribed controlled substances.

6. Random and frequent drug testing should always be an important component of primary addiction treatment.

7. Just as new information about disease severity in the treatment of another chronic medical or psychiat-ric illness would lead to treatment plan adjustments (usually intensifi cation and addition of new ele-ments), positive drug test results are a manifestation of the severity of illness, or the inadequacy of treat-ment, and signals the need to reevaluate and readjust treatment plans.

Treatment Admissions Remain Static in OregonDespite predictions that healthcare reform would greatly increase the number of people seeking drug and alcohol treatment, a new study conducted in Oregon suggests so far, no big changes are occurring in that state. “We’re not seeing any upticks in the number of people with drug or alcohol diagnoses, or changes in access to medications to treat alcohol and drug disorders,” says Dennis McCarty, PhD, Profes-sor in the Department of Public Health and Preventive Medicine at Oregon Health Sciences University in Portland. McCarty, Principal Investigator for the Western States Node of the National Drug Abuse Treatment Clinical Trials Network, presented his fi ndings at the recent American Psychological Association annual meeting. Under the Affordable Care Act, more than 340,000 people were added to the Oregon Health Plan in January 2014, McCarty said. “Our interviews suggest the new members were largely seeking help for untreated injuries like back problems,” he said. “We know from the National Survey on Drug Use and Health that 23 million Americans meet the criteria for drug and alcohol problems, but only three million seek help. The vast majority do not seek care, and so far, in Oregon that hasn’t changed even with healthcare reform.” The state is making investments in reorganizing the delivery of care. One of the major changes has been that funding for mental health services is now integrated with primary care services. “The healthcare system does a poor job of identifying and treating drug and alcohol abuse and linking people to specialty care,” he says. “Drug and alcohol treatment spe-cialists need to do a better job of introducing themselves to primary care settings and linking with them.” He notes that of the people who receive medical detoxifi cation services, only about 25 percent show up in ongoing care. “It’s a waste of services, and a failure to link with the addiction treatment system. We need to move away from 30-day treatment programs. That system doesn’t work. Some people do need the residential system, but we need to focus on the chronic care model, not the acute care model.”-excerpts from Jointogether
