Dr. Emily Pasman stops by the show to talk about her recent article Nonabstinence Among US Adults in Recovery From an Alcohol or Other Drug Problem. She discusses the findings from her study as well as the potential limitations of using a solely abstinence-focused treatment and recovery model for addiction care.
Emily Pasman is a licensed social worker and postdoctoral research fellow at the University of Michigan Center for the Study of Drugs, Alcohol, Smoking, and Health. Her research aims to improve health equity for people who use drugs by expanding harm reduction interventions; supporting affected family members; and addressing disparities in service access, uptake, and outcomes. Grounded in her practice background in peer-delivered services, she uses participatory methods to engage people with lived and living experience in all aspects of the research process.
