"Advancing Rural Health: Routine Sexual and Substance Use Histories"

Presented by Aaron Shipman-Negrete, MSW/LCSW and Dominique Saunders

This brief workshop will provide an introduction and overview to the recently developed on-line, self paced course, Advancing Rural Health: Routine Sexual and Substance Use Histories. This course was designed to offer health care professionals a means to better educate patients about sexual health, substance use, risk reduction, prevention, and treatment. This brief workshop will explore both the drivers of, and strategies to address, barriers to conducting a sexual and substance-use history, as identified by the workshop participants, as a precursor to completing the online, self paced course.
