How a Hormone Was Sold as the ‘Moral Molecule’ That Would Save Humanity - Christopher Lane

The Master of Arts in Medical Humanities & Bioethics Program presents
A Montgomery Lecture
with
Christopher Lane, PhD
Professor of English
Member, Center for Bioethics and Medical Humanities
Northwestern University
How a Hormone Was Sold as the Moral Molecule That Would Save Humanity
From cuddle chemical to moral molecule, oxytocin has been lavished with descriptors that are scientifically misleading and inaccurate. Recent research even ties the hormone to race prejudice and ethno-nationalism, greatly complicating its contribution to neurobiological arguments about trust, altruism, and sociability. Even so, the hormone remains integral to current advocacy for moral bio-enhancement, a project built on heavy doses of idealism and promised empowerment whose actual effects, this talk argues, are more often disempowering, undemocratic, and prone to fail.

Prevention Science & Methodology Group (PSMG) Virtual Grand Rounds – Arthur Robin Williams, MD
Online - 12:00 PM - 1:30 PM
Arthur Robin Williams, MD
Columbia University, Irving Medical School
OUD Cascade of Care and Quality Measure Development
Amid worsening opioid overdose death rates, the nation continues to face a persistent addiction treatment gap limiting access to quality care for opioid use disorder (OUD). Three FDA-approved medications (methadone, buprenorphine, and extended-release naltrexone) have high quality evidence demonstrating reductions in drug use and overdose events, but most individuals with OUD do not receive them. The development of a unified public health framework, such as a Cascade of Care, could improve system level practice and treatment outcomes. This presentation details an expanded OUD treatment cascade, first published in 2017, with additional attention to prevention stages and both individual-level and population-based services to better inform efforts at the state and federal level. The proposed cascade framework has attracted considerable interest from federal agencies including the CDC and NIDA along with policy-makers nationwide. Including recent literature on pharmacotherapy for OUD and evidence-based interventions related to prevention, identification, and treatment of individuals with OUD, the presentation includes updated figures from the 2016 National Survey on Drug Use and Health. Many currently employed interventions (prescriber guidelines, prescription monitoring programs, naloxone rescue) address prevention of OUD or downstream complications but not treatment of the underlying disorder itself. An OUD Cascade of Care framework could help structure local and national efforts to combat the opioid epidemic by identifying key targets, interventions, and quality indicators across populations and settings to achieve these ends. Improved data collection and reporting methodology will be imperative.
