Episode 16
Throughout our Connecting Care podcast series, we’ve focused on different communities of adults with HIV and/or substance use disorders (SUDs). One population we haven’t yet covered is the adolescent and young adult population. Treating youth with SUDs requires additional expertise and insight into their physical, emotional, mental, and social development. This month, Dr. Jessica Taylor talked with Dr. Sarah Bagley - a researcher and the Medical Director of the Catalyst Clinic at Boston Medical Center. During the conversation, Jessica and Sarah talk about the substance use risks for youth; developing an SUD; overdose prevention; special legal considerations of treating youth; and how their needs differ from those of older adults.
