SUMMARY:Looking More Closely At Evidence For COVID-19 Coverage
DESCRIPTION:It’s difficult to evaluate new evidence in the middle of the crisis\, including the COVID-19 pandemic. SJN hears from journalists that they need more guidance on how to evaluate the latest numbers\, research and statistics on COVID-19’s spread. \nJoin a conversation with investigative reporter Matt Kauffman from SJN’s Positive Deviance data project\, and Cheryl Phillips\, director of Big Local News at Stanford. \nMichelle Faust Raghavan\, SJN’s west coast region manager and former health reporter\, will lead the discussion. \nWe’ll look at a new database created by Kauffman to track disparities in how COVID-19 impacts communities. We’ll also look at ways journalists can use this database for solutions journalism and\, woven into that\, why it will be hard to get data now about the value of responses. But also what data sources to watch as time goes on. \nBring your questions\, challenges and story ideas to this advanced discussion about evaluating evidence. \nMore information.

SUMMARY:Covering Coronavirus: Can We Pass the Test?
DESCRIPTION:May 13\, 1 p.m. ET \nThe Center for health Journalism at University of Southern California\, Annenberg hosts this webinar on testing for COVID-19.  \nDr. Michael Osterholm of the Center for Infectious Disease Research and Policy and Apoorva Mandavilli  of the New York Times will discuss why testing has been described as essential for easing restrictions and reopening the country. But experts widely agree that the U.S. has nowhere near the number of test kits and lab capacity we need. Meanwhile\, huge questions remain about the reliability of antibody tests that have flooded the market with no FDA oversight. In this webinar\, we’ll hear from a leading infectious disease expert and top reporter on whether or not we can test our way out of this crisis — and what that means for near-term efforts to reopen states and jumpstart the economy. For more information and to sign up for the webinar\, go here.

SUMMARY:Growing Challenges of Substance Use\, Treatment & Recovery During COVID-19
DESCRIPTION:May 18\, 2020 2:00 – 3:00 PM ET \nWhile opioids continue to dominate headlines about drug overdose deaths in the US\, fatal overdoses from cocaine and methamphetamines are also on the rise. People with substance use disorder (SUD) are at particular risk during COVID-19 due to the effects of opioids and stimulants on respiratory health\, and social distancing measures have created barriers to treatment. The agitated behavior of people using stimulants also places added burden on first responders already overwhelmed by the COVID-19 crisis. \nThis webinar will highlight efforts to address the growing rate of substance use in this country and outline strategies to mitigate the increased burden on individuals\, society and the health care system in the time of COVID-19. Speakers will discuss: \n\n\nEvidence-based treatment for stimulant abuse\, including access to cognitive-behavioral therapy to improve outcomes in individuals with addictive disorders \n\n\nEmerging efforts to reduce shame and stigma and better direct individuals to appropriate care \n\n\nStrategies to increase access to OUD and SUD treatment during COVID-19\, including telehealth and virtual recovery support \n\n\nFeaturing \nCarlos Blanco National Institute on Drug Abuse \nGary Mendell Shatterproof \nHerbert H. Price III Arkansas Blue Cross and Blue Shield \nA draft agenda is available on our website. \nRegister Now \nRegister now for our Friday webinar with the Alliance for Health Policy and Commonwealth Fund on nursing home care\, as well as our Monday webinar on food insecurity. \nRegister Now

SUMMARY:Reporting a pandemic
DESCRIPTION:The COVID-19 pandemic has made demands on our collective resilience that will continue for some time. To answer this call\, a group of dedicated instructors in the University of California\, Davis\, College of Biological Science has designed a virtual lab course. This unique course provides students with a truly interdisciplinary perspective on how modern biology through a diverse number of approaches can inform our decisions in this crises and help plan for future interventions to lessen the impact of viral epidemics. One of the activities in this course are a series of Town Halls\, where subject area experts chat with students and course instructors about issues related to the COVID-19 pandemic. At these Town Hall meetings\, physicians\, scientists\, lawyers\, a journalist & an economist discuss scientific\, health care\, and broader societal issues concerning the COVID19 pandemic. They are going to be held every Friday this winter quarter from 3:30-5pm. \nLive streaming of the meetings on Facebook \nArchived town halls: https://video.ucdavis.edu/channel/channelid/159414402  \nFollow on Twitter: @CovidTownHall \nALL TOWN HALLS WILL OCCUR ON FRIDAYS \, 3:30-5 p.m. PT \nMay 22Reporting a pandemicRichard Harris – Science reporter\, NPR

SUMMARY:COVID-19 Impact on American Indians\, from Sovereign Tribal Nations to 'Invisible' Urban Communities
DESCRIPTION:Thursday\, May 28\, noon ET\nHealth Equity in Real Time with COVID-19 \nAs states across the country begin to reopen during the coronavirus pandemic\, American Indian communities like the Navajo Nation are grappling with scarce resources and infection rates that have eclipsed early epicenters in New York and New Jersey. \nDriving these infection rates are long-standing inequities\, including limited access to health care\, overcrowded housing\, high rates of poverty and chronic disease\, and limited access to basic services like grocery stores\, supplies and running water. These high numbers can also be attributed to sovereign tribal nations’ robust testing programs. For example\, Navajo Nation has the highest testing rate per capita in the United States with 13 percent of its residents tested for the virus. \nBut with 70% of American Indians living in urban areas and 78% living outside of sovereign tribal nations\, the ability to control the spread of the virus is a challenge. Inadequate data collection and historic distrust of the government create barriers to understanding the impact in what some call an “invisible” community. \nTo help journalists report on the health and economic impacts of the coronavirus pandemic on American Indian communities both now and as states navigate reopening\, University of North Dakota researcher and physician Donald Warne\, M.D.\, M.P.H.\, will be available to answer questions on Thursday\, May 28. Dr. Warne is the associate dean of diversity\, equity and inclusion at the University of North Dakota School of Medicine & Health Sciences. He also directs the Indians Into Medicine (INMED) program. Warne was the opening speaker at Health Journalism 2018 in Phoenix. \nWarne will cover: \n\n\nWhat has the research revealed about American Indians’ biggest public health challenges before COVID-19? \n\n\nHow has the impact of COVID-19 on American Indian communities differed from others? \n\n\nHow do experiences in sovereign tribal nations compare to those of American Indians living in urban communities? \n\n\nWhat can be done in the short- and long-term\, particularly around data collection and reporting\, to address inequities exacerbated by COVID-19? \n\n\nWHEN: \n\nThursday\, May 28\, 2020\, 12 p.m. ET (11 a.m. CT / 10 a.m. MT / 9 a.m. PT)\n\nModerator: Nicole Bronzan\, senior communications officer\, Robert Wood Johnson Foundation \n  \nRegister Here \nPress teleconference sponsored by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation. \n  \n
