Lori Ann Eldridge

overview

  • I am public health implementation scientist. My research is designed to bridge the gap between research and practice by the translation of empirical evidence into evidence-based curriculums, interventions, and the establishment of policy change. I examine access to harm reduction within rural communities. Additionally, I explore access to prevention, treatment, and harm reduction services for individuals with comorbid diagnoses of mental health, physical and intellectual disabilities, and substance use disorders. I focus on how the impact of laws, policies, regulations, access to services, and healthcare delivery affect access to services.

  • SMAHSA SPARK talk Rights Promotion and Protection Technical Expert Panel (TEP) sponsored by SAMHSA's Program to Advance Recovery Knowledge (SPARK).
    This TEP will focus on the critical role of human and civil rights in shaping effective service systems for individuals with lived experiences of mental health and substance use conditions. We'll delve into past, current, and future strategies that support recovery and independent living goals, address key questions and guiding principles for rights and recovery-centered policies, and contribute to SAMHSA's strategies for rights protection and promotion.
    Unlike traditional formats, this meeting will run more like a think tank dialogue, fostering deep, collaborative discussions. 2023
