It is the first to examine these factors together, offering a comprehensive approach to understanding how these interconnected mechanisms might influence opioid misuse.
This course is based on the reading-based online article, Exploring Stress, Cognitive, and Affective Mechanisms of the Relationship Between Interpersonal Trauma and Opioid Misuse created by Jessica Roberts Williams et al in 2020.
