    11:00-12:30 - Voices after Death: The Value of the Next of Kin interview in Fatal Overdose Reviews- , presented by Nicole Schlaefli, MBA, MPH, Alex Francisco, PhD, and Zikeya Byrd

    By June 2021, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention was reporting that synthetic opioids were involved in an estimated 87% of opioid deaths and 65% of all drug overdose deaths nationwide. To intervene, the Institute for Intergovernmental Research released a framework for jurisdictions to form Overdose Fatality Review (OFR) Programs. The intention of these programs are to review the deaths that resulted from overdose by people in the community organizations dealing with Substance Use Disorders (SUDs).

    One of the key aspects of these OFR Programs is the Next of Kin (NOK) interviews. The NOK interview is a tool OFRs can use to expand their understanding of the life experiences of a decedent and identify non-traditional touchpoints or systems that may not be represented by the OFR members. This information is used to identify community-specific prevention and intervention strategies. This presentation will focus on the outcomes related to NOK interviews, as well as a roadmap to integrate the information gained into an adapted protocol to conduct the Psychological Autopsy current utilized in suicidology.

      12:30-1:30 - Poster breakout rooms & Lunch

    1:30-2:30 - Population Health and Equity: Health Outside of Healthcare, presented by Catherine Satterwhite, PhD, MSPH, MPH

    Nearly 80% of health outcomes are influenced by factors outside the traditional healthcare setting. To effectively address health needs and enhance overall well-being, it is crucial for healthcare professionals to consider these external factors, including social drivers of health. This presentation will demonstrate the importance of addressing health outside of the traditional healthcare setting, describe the role of population health strategies in improving well-being, identify opportunities for healthcare providers to engage in addressing social drivers of health at the individual, clinic, system, and policy level, and introduce KCU’s new Center for Population Health and Equity.

      2:35-2:55 - Poster session breakout rooms
