HI HCV Screening and Linkage ECHO @12PM HST
The Hawaiʻi Learning Group is hosting the Hawai`i HCV Screening and Linkage to Care ECHO Curriculum from January 27 to April 21, 2025.
“This twelve-week series is focused on hepatitis C.
The primary goal is to increase statewide capacity among primary care teams for screening and treatment, consistant with national goals for hepatitis C elimination by 2030.
In Hawai`i, by following best practice guidelines, prescribers can be waived from prior restrictions for prescribing HCV medications.
By focusing on this curable infection, care teams can leverage their technology to efficiently and effectively screen their local populations, follow-up on positive tests, link to care, treat and cure HCV. It is a win for patients, providers and health systems.”

New Drugs and Markets: Addressing Myths, Misinfo, and Real Harms @9:30AM HST
“In recent decades, countless new synthetic drugs have entered the underground drug supply, and overdose deaths and other drug-related harms have skyrocketed as a result. Media, policymakers, and the general public are concerned — but often misguided — in their attempts to address the issue because they lack accurate information about drugs and drug supply changes.
This four-part series will explore the most commonly used new and emerging synthetic drugs in the United States, the geographic trends in where and when these drugs have spread, and the demographic trends in who is impacted by these drugs. Panelists will examine the risks and harms faced by people who use drugs and discuss the role of harm reduction and medical providers in reducing overdose and health risks. We know that current drug policies fuel and will continue to incentivize new, and likely, more dangerous drugs. As drug policy reformers, people who use drugs, and people who care about people who use drugs, we will envision solutions that are just as innovative and nimble as these new markets.
Panel 2: Addressing Myths, Misinformation, and Real Harms
In this panel, experts will discuss how media, lawmakers, and advocates often, knowingly or unknowingly, affirm and promote fear and misinformation – often highly racialized – when new drugs emerge in the drug supply. Panelists will explain how sensationalized headlines about the latest drugs promote more stigma toward the people who use them. Panelists will address questions, such as: How do these headlines fuel public support for harsher penalties and more enforcement? What is the impact of media myths and misinformation on people who use drugs and harm reduction and healthcare providers in terms of staying safe and navigating drug-related risks? How can members of the media and advocates use their positions to raise awareness about shifting drug trends and balance the need for accurate information with our culture’s propensity to engage in highly stigmatized and unproductive fearmongering?”

With the advent of new technologies and new drugs, drug markets are changing.

Panelists will discuss: Where and how are drugs manufactured and distributed? How and where are people buying drugs? How do market changes impact criminalization, racial disparities, and overdose? How can we leverage these changes to promote more effective programs and practices?”

Panel 4: Scaling Up Drug Checking, Envisioning Safe Supply, and Exploring New Horizons
Building on what we have learned during the earlier sessions, this panel will focus on solutions. We know that the U.S.’s prohibitionist policies will continue to incentivize new, and likely, more dangerous drugs. As drug policy reformers, people who use drugs, and people who care about people who use drugs, we need to be just as innovative and nimble as these new markets.
What are the most promising harm reduction interventions that can provide timely information and strategies to stay safe for the people who most need it? How can we scale up community drug checking given current technological, financial, political, and logistical barriers to these technologies? How might we use drug checking to shift the drug supply from the ground up? What do models of safe supply have to offer? How can we think outside of the box and usher in a new era of drug policy reform that addresses these new drugs and new markets? We will envision how to harness our knowledge and resources to reduce the harms of the unpredictable drug supply and protect ourselves, the people we love, and the people most harmed by drug prohibition.”

Over the course of this 1.5 credits/contact hours certified activity, key topics will include:
Importance of EDs and urgent care as community touch points for pan-viral testing (e.g. meeting impacted populations where they are)
Understanding prevalence of HIV, HBV, HCV, and STIs in your community
Evidence-based care guidance and recommendations for HIV, HBV, HCV, and STIs
Implementation of testing algorithms and test interpretation
Effective strategies for patient follow-up and linkage to care/treatment

New Drugs and Markets: Understanding Current Drug Supply @9AM HST
“n recent decades, countless new synthetic drugs have entered the underground drug supply, and overdose deaths and other drug-related harms have skyrocketed as a result. Media, policymakers, and the general public are concerned — but often misguided — in their attempts to address the issue because they lack accurate information about drugs and drug supply changes.
This four-part series will explore the most commonly used new and emerging synthetic drugs in the United States, the geographic trends in where and when these drugs have spread, and the demographic trends in who is impacted by these drugs. Panelists will examine the risks and harms faced by people who use drugs and discuss the role of harm reduction and medical providers in reducing overdose and health risks. We know that current drug policies fuel and will continue to incentivize new, and likely, more dangerous drugs. As drug policy reformers, people who use drugs, and people who care about people who use drugs, we will envision solutions that are just as innovative and nimble as these new markets.
Keynote + Panel 1: Understanding the Current Drug Supply
In this keynote address, we’ll explore why novel psychoactive substances (NPS) and new markets have emerged in recent years; the motivations for us; and how, when, and where are people exposed to NPS.
In this opening panel, experts will provide an overview of the current drug supply and how it has shifted over the past several decades in response to drug demand and prohibitionist policy changes. They will discuss the emergence of new potent opioids and sedatives into the underground opioid supply (e.g., fentanyl and its analogs, xylazine, etizolam, nitazenes, and medetomidine), the introduction of various adulterants and new cuts (e.g., BTMPS), as well as issues with the stimulant supply (e.g., accidental cross-contamination, counterfeit stimulant pills). How have these shifts unfolded over time? What are the regional and/or state-specific dynamics driving the emergence of these drugs? Which populations have been exposed to or sought out these drugs and what are key racial, ethnic, age, gender, and sexuality differences? What does the shifting supply mean for drug-related harms and our efforts to reduce them? What do we know and what don’t we know? How can we track these shifts better and what policy changes are needed?”

In Hawai`i, by following best practice guidelines, prescribers can be waived from prior restrictions for prescribing HCV medications.
