The annual conference of the Penn State Consortium on Substance Use and Addiction (Penn State University Park) brings together researchers, policymakers, practitioners, funders, and community leaders to focus on community-engaged solutions to problems of substance use. Sessions on each of these areas are designed to stimulate impactful collaborations between individuals, families, and communities across the Commonwealth and beyond. This year’s theme centers around Evidence to Impact.

Highlights of the day include: an address by Yngvild Olsen, MD, MPH, Director of the Center for Substance Abuse Treatment (CSAT) at SAMHSA, a panel on neonatal and maternal issues related to substance use, and a panel discussing the opioid settlement.
