My name is Katie Clark and I am the Director of Programs with the Arkansas Chapter of the American Academy of Pediatrics. We are working with the University of Arkansas at Little Rock MidSOUTH. MidSOUTH is a training and education organization that equips practitioners, providers, and advocates with the essential tools to empower oppressed and vulnerable populations and make community-wide improvement through continuing education in the areas of child welfare, healthy families / family support, prevention, and addictions.

We want to hear from providers like you about your experience working with young adults who have used opioids, what their treatment was like, any barriers you faced to help them get treatment, so that we can report back to MidSOUTH to help guide programs that will help other young adults in the future.

You are not required to answer any of the questions. You can skip any question you are not comfortable answering. We are not recording any identifiable information, everything will be kept anonymous.

If you have any questions or concerns, you can email me katie@arkansasaap.org.
