In this episode, Lillian Erdahl, MD, FACS, is joined by Stephanie M Jensen, MD, MPH, and A Britt Christmas, MD, MBA, FACS, from the Carolinas Medical Center, Charlotte, NC. They discuss the recent article by Drs Jensen and Christmas, “Association of State Helmet Laws with Helmet Use and Injury Outcomes in Motorcycle Crashes,” in which the authors analyzed a decade of motorcycle collision data from an American College of Surgeons-verified Level I Trauma Center positioned at the border of 2 states with differing motorcycle helmet laws. The study found that helmeted patients had reduced injury severity, and that state helmet laws significantly influence helmet usage among motorcyclists. Disclosure Information: Drs Erdahl, Jensen, and Christmas, speakers, have nothing to disclose.

Episode 80: Balancing Relief and Risk: Pain Management and Opioid Prescribing in Children and Adolescents   Evaluation and Credit:  https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/medchat80 Target Audience             This activity is targeted toward primary care physicians and advanced providers. Statement of Need This podcast will address effective pain management in adolescents and teens and the utilization of opioids and risk reduction. Pediatricians may not have up-to-date knowledge and skills to effectively balance pain management with opioid safety in children and adolescents. Current practice often reflects underuse of multimodal pain strategies, inconsistent application of opioid prescribing guidelines, and limited screening for substance use disorders (SUDs) in youth. This educational activity addresses the gap between current and optimal practice by enhancing pediatricians' competence in evidence-based opioid prescribing and their performance in implementing risk mitigation strategies in clinical settings. Objectives Describe evidence-based guidelines for prescribing opioids in a manner that optimizes both pain treatment and safety for children and adolescents (“youth”). Discuss evidence-based strategies for the prevention, screening, and treatment for substance use disorders in youth.

Wellness in Practice: Small Steps with Big Impacts  Evaluation and Credit:  https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/medchat79 Target AudienceThis activity is targeted toward primary care physicians and advanced providers. Statement of Need Physicians often face challenges in effectively counseling patients on lifestyle changes due to time constraints and lack of training in behavior change techniques. Addressing these gaps is crucial for improving patient outcomes and overall health. By focusing on small, manageable steps, physicians can make a significant difference in their patients' lives without overwhelming them. This podcast will highlight the importance of how providers can recommend manageable changes to their daily habits that can lead to significant long-term health improvements. Objectives Identify small, evidence-based lifestyle changes that can significantly impact patient health outcomes. Describe strategies to incorporate wellness advice into routine clinical visits efficiently, even within time constraints. Recognize common barriers patients face when making lifestyle changes and develop strategies to address these challenges. List actionable steps that providers can take in their own lives to improve their wellness.
