Welcome New Dean, Schnavia Hatcher

A native of Selma, Hatcher brings more than 20 years of experience in clinical social work practice, communityengaged research and higher education to the University of Alabama School of Social Work, where she has assumed the role of Dean. Hatcher is the first Black woman to serve as dean in the School’s 54-year history and is keen to advance the School’s social justice and community well-being initiatives. Hatcher was the inaugural director of the University of North Carolina at Charlotte’s School of Social Work, where she also established and led the School’s Race and Social Equity Academy. Prior to her leadership roles at UNCC, Hatcher founded the Center for African American Studies at the University of Texas at Arlington, the first one of its kind in north Texas. She also held faculty appointments at UT Arlington’s School of Social Work and Department of Criminology and Criminal Justice. Hatcher’s first tenured faculty position was at University of Georgia, along with the administrative role of BSW Program Director. Hatcher’s scholarship has focused on issues of race, class, and social policy implications for the Black community specifically, and the broader society generally. She has also continued to emphasize developing health promotion strategies for disenfranchised populations in social justice venues. Hatcher’s research has been supported by the National Institutes of Health, the Health Resources and Services Administration, and the U.S. Department of Justice, among others. Hatcher currently serves on the board for the National Association of Deans and Directors of Schools of Social Work and previously chaired NADD’s Social Justice and Racial Violence Taskforce Committee. She is a Distinguished Fellow of the National Academies of Practice in Social Work. 2 SOCIALWORK.UA.EDU

Addressing the Opioid Crisis: What Does Alabama Need? Alabamians face many structural barriers to treatment of opioid addiction, such as access and transportation to treatment facilities as well as hostile attitudes among the public and family members to addiction, according to research led by The University of Alabama. The findings come from statewide surveys and discussions with community leaders and the public. The assessments are the first step to provide a framework to reduce health disparities related to addiction and opioids in Alabama. The work is part of the Alabama Provider Capacity Project, based at UA, and supported by a $5.1 million grant funded by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. The goal of the project is to decrease health disparities related to addiction and opioids, particularly in Alabama’s rural and lowincome communities. The research began during the pandemic as Alabama’s opioid crisis worsened. Drug overdoses in Alabama increased by 20% during 2020, according to the Alabama Department of Mental Health. Researchers found Alabamians must travel far distances to get access to treatment like detox or inpatient programs. Many people travel to a new city, county or across state lines to access treatment. Over 27% of Alabamians struggling with addiction reported transportation as a barrier to seeking treatment. Further, for over 35% of Alabamians seeking treatment, finding a program that fits their schedule is a barrier.

FACULTY RESEARCH

“This is especially a problem in Alabama’s rural areas when the same people who lack nearby access to treatment also lack the necessary transportation to get to treatment,” said Dr. David Albright, project leader and the Hill Crest Foundation Endowed Chair in Mental Health Research in the UA School of Social Work. “By the time someone secures transportation, gets time off work, and finds a treatment center with availability, they’ve lost interest. We need to be able to help people when they want the help.” The research also suggests a need for more public health education to address knowledge of and stigma surrounding addiction. Attitudes hostile to treatment facilities locating near residential neighborhoods or beliefs about certain treatments being better than others pose as barriers to treatment. Over 18% of Alabamians who have struggled with addiction described family shame as a barrier to accessing treatment. “Many people still view addiction as a moral failing rather than a disease,” Albright said. “That’s simply not true. With the proper resources, this disease is absolutely curable. People with substance use disorder need support, not judgment.” The Alabama Provider Capacity Project is supported through a collaboration between the Alabama Medicaid Agency, the Alabama Department of Mental Health and VitAL, a behavioral health initiative at The University of Alabama School of Social Work. To complete the research, VitAL enlisted the help of UA’s Center for Economic Development, Center for Business and Economic Research, and Institute for Social Science Research.

UA Researcher’s Tech-Focused Dementia Care Projects Funded The National Institute on Aging awarded $1.6 million to researchers from The University of Alabama and Florida International University to design touch-screen technology to improve communication between dementia patients and their caregivers. Dr. Nicole Ruggiano, associate professor in the UA School of Social Work, said dementia patients often struggle to communicate about their daily care and symptoms they’re experiencing, like trouble sleeping or severity of pain. This can lead to “care-resistant behaviors” misunderstood by their caregiver. “Our technology will be similar to the sensory and communication boards we see with students with autism,” Ruggiano said. “It’ll be a customizable tablet with all the things the person really likes – pictures of their favorite foods, their favorite clothing. So, when caregivers are engaging with them, if they have trouble with words or confusion due to cognition problems, it’ll make caregiving activities a lot easier.” The project will span five years and winclude a pair of clinical sites at both The University of Alabama at Birmingham’s Memory Disorder Clinic and Miami Jewish Health. Since 2016, Ruggiano has worked extensively with families affected by Alzheimer’s Disease and other types of dementia in Alabama and has a keen interest in alleviating burdens for caregivers. In Alabama, there are roughly 300,000 people providing care for someone living with dementia, Ruggiano said. Beyond her research, Ruggiano has worked with the Alabama Department of Senior Services to provide statewide training on dementia care and caregiving. Additionally, Ruggiano was recently appointed to the Alabama Lifespan Respite Coalition. Ruggiano’s interest in using technology to improve dementia care spans several years and continued collaborations with Dr. Ellen Brown, associate professor of nursing at Florida International University and Co-PI for this project. In 2016, the pair created “CareHeroes,” a multi-function app designed to improve communication between physicians providing dementia care and caregivers. The app also aims to decrease caregiver burden and depression symptoms, which are often experienced because of the stress of caregiving. In 2018, the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality awarded Ruggiano and Brown $300,000 to test the app with more than 60 participants at sites between Alabama and Miami. 4 SOCIALWORK.UA.EDU

FACULTY RESEARCH

Bridging the gap between those with less access to technology can remove complex barriers to care by understanding how different vulnerable groups experience technology, Ruggiano said. For instance, in her work in rural Alabama, where specialty care is limited, African-American caregivers often lack education and information about dementia and were more likely to view symptoms of dementia as normal signs of aging. “I’ve had people tell me that, for the first time, they really understand what’s going on with their loved one,” Ruggiano said. Also, Ruggiano, along with computer science faculty Drs. Monica Anderson, Jeff Gray and Zhe Jiang, will develop a resource database for dementia care across Alabama through a $150,000 grant from the National Science Foundati. There isn’t currently a standard database or resource repository, so caregivers don’t know what’s available, Ruggiano said. This database would require crowdsourced data from caregivers and providers. “For instance, for incontinence supplies, they’d put how much they paid and where they were cheapest,” Ruggiano said. “Additionally, the database will self-assess that information for accuracy.” After a year of development with focus groups, surveys and a prototype, researchers will apply for another NSF grant to build a web app for the database. The final product will allow users to perform needs assessments, and the app would provide resources and maps to match their needs. “A lot of dementia care is being done in primary care, and those providers aren’t really sure about services, so they can’t make referrals for their patients and caregivers,” Ruggiano said. “This database can be extremely helpful.”

UA Leading Effort to Increase Vaccinations in Rural Alabama In a partnership with community organizations, The University of Alabama is spearheading a project to get 70% of eligible people in the state’s Black Belt vaccinated against COVID-19 over the next year. A $1 million grant from the federal Health Resources and Services Administration to UA will assist with vaccine information and outreach programs and support remote and pop-up vaccination clinics throughout the 18 counties. “This is a very important and timely grant award in Alabama,” said Dr. Hee Yun Lee, lead on the grant and associate dean for research in the UA School of Social Work and Endowed Academic Chair in Social Work (Health). “Alabama’s low vaccination rate is more serious in rural areas than urban areas, so our grant targets rural communities like the Black Belt areas to increase the vaccination rate.” Drawing on an interdisciplinary team from the areas of medicine, psychology, nursing, communicative disorders and social work, UA’s team will work alongside the Rural Alabama Prevention Center, a community-based organization in Eutaw, Alabama. The RAPC’s mission is to improve the overall health of people living in rural West Alabama through the provision of preventive health services, education and resources. Loretta Webb Wilson, founder and CEO of the organization, is community lead for the grant. RAPC has deep connections in the Black Belt including with predominantly African American churches and other social service agencies to help with the rollout of the information campaign and vaccinations. Alabama’s Black Belt, originally named that for its rich, dark soil, is a poverty-stricken area of the country, especially outside its small towns, with African Americans making up the majority of its population. As the grant begins this month, Alabama has the highest positivity rate of COVID-19 of any state coupled with the lowest vaccination rate in the country, with only about 34% of the population fully vaccinated, according to the U.S. Center for Disease Control. Some counties in the Black Belt have more people fully vaccinated than the state as a whole, while some have a lower percentage. “We will prioritize the counties to intervene based on current vaccination rates and vaccine hesitancy, and we will go to the counties that need intervention the most first,” Lee said. 6 SOCIALWORK.UA.EDU

The program will connect community members with local clinics and pharmacies to create “Shot on the Spot” events while also using UA’s Hear Here mobile truck to take vaccines to more remote areas to eliminate access barriers. It will also strive to improve health literacy on the COVID-19 vaccine using a culturally competent social media campaign. It is possible vaccinations could begin in early September, but helping people learn about the safety and efficacy of the vaccine will be important, Lee said. “It will be very hard to convince those who have not been vaccinated yet in Alabama,” she said. “We will develop and conduct a tailored health literacy education campaign first to reduce the misinformation, vaccine hesitancy and mistrust toward the COVID-19 vaccine by working with community partners. I believe that enhancing the vaccine literacy should come first and then we will go to the community to provide the vaccine.” Along with Lee, UA’s team consists of Dr. Pamela Payne-Foster, professor of community medicine and population health in UA’s College of Community Health Sciences and a preventative medicine/public health physician; Dr. Rebecca Allen, professor and interim chair of the UA Department of Psychology; Dr. JoAnn Oliver, professor of nursing; and Dr. Marcia Hay-McCutcheon, professor of communicative disorders.
