OUD disproportionately affects American Indian/Alaska Natives, people who live in rural areas, and young people ages 18-25. Each of these groups requires a distinct approach to reduce overdose deaths and OUD. This literature review included 22 papers to elucidate the specific aspects of successful community-based interventions and educational initiatives for overdose prevention deployed in the United States. Cultural sensitivity, peer involvement, and advancements in technology such as telehealth were found to be crucial next steps and key aspects of successful interventions.Item Access and Excellence Magazine Issue 1, Fall 2015(2015) Division of Diversity and Community EngagementItem Access and Excellence Magazine Issue 2, Spring 2016(2016) Division of Diversity and Community EngagementItem Access and Excellence Magazine Issue 3, Fall 2016(2016) Division of Diversity and Community EngagementItem Access and Excellence Magazine Issue 4, 2016-2017(2017) Division of Diversity and Community EngagementItem Access and Excellence Magazine Issue 5, Fall 2017(2017) Division of Diversity and Community EngagementItem Access and Excellence Magazine Issue 6, Spring 2018(2018) Division of Diversity and Community EngagementItem Access Magazine Issue 7, Fall 2018(2018) Division of Diversity and Community EngagementItem Access Magazine Issue 8, Fall 2019(2019) Division of Diversity and Community EngagementItem Access Magazine Issue 9, Fall 2020(2020) Division of Diversity and Community EngagementItem The American Family -Gone or Going Strong(The Hogg Foundation, 1953) Moore, Bernice MilburnItem The Atlas of New Librarianship(MIT Press, 2011) Lankes, R.

Memory of the self defines a person’s identity, because when we remember, we remember ourselves. Memory ranges from holding information in our brain for a few seconds to storing information for an entire lifetime, from memory of the immediate past to childhood memories to memory of events only experienced through second-hand storytelling. Memory is an individual phenomenon, but it is inherently collaborative. People do not physically share memories; memories are held in the minds of individuals. However, memories are shared, reinforced, altered, and forgotten largely through conversational interactions. Shared memories define what it means to be a community. Through conversation and societal structures, memories become collective in communities. Thus far, collective memory has largely been studied in a fragmented way, which I argue is detrimental to the field and to real-world applications. There have been two main approaches to collective memory: one is the psychological approach, and the other is the sociological approach. These approaches both have important components but leave other essential components out of the discussion. I argue that the best approach to studying collective memory and other collective phenomena is the social-interactionist approach, which starts with relevant cognitive phenomena, looks at how those cognitive phenomena are modified in social settings, and studies how the phenomena propagate across large social networks. I argue for an extension of this approach to include societal context variables such as educational standards and norms within communities because those factors also have large influence on the collective memory of a community. This thesis first gives a review of relevant cognitive processes, then moves to a discussion of the study of collective memory. I use a case study to demonstrate a modified, qualitative version of the social-interactionist approach to collective memory, then conclude with a discussion of the possibilities for real-world solutions using this method.Item Communities That Care: A Guide for Developing Services for Children(Hogg Foundation for Mental Health, 1989) Iscoe, Louise K
