CTSA Visiting Scholar — High risk yet often overlooked: Improving opioid safety for complex older adults

The opioid crisis response has largely overlooked multiple patient populations with complex opioid-related vulnerabilities, including older adults with cancer or dementia.

Join Andrew Roberts for a presentation of findings from his KL2-funded work examining high-risk opioid use patterns and outcomes in older adult cancer survivors. He will also discuss future directions for work informing opioid safety interventions for older adults with cancer and dementia.

The Data Manager is responsible for the complete data process: from design, to build, to quality control, to cleaning, and finally to archiving. In smaller research teams, this role may be absent or overlooked due to other pressing tasks, or may be parceled out as extra duties among team members.

TraCS is hosting this training to help research teams develop better data managers. We will review data manager responsibilities and discuss/practice techniques using REDCap.

This course will be held on 3 consecutive days: Wednesday, Mar 17 - Friday, Mar 19 | 12 - 4 p.m. each day.

Our current REDCap trainings are offered as webinar-only.
