Research/Clinical Interest Title Description Dr. McCullumsmith is expanding research into the unique needs of patients presenting to the emergency room in several venues. First, to study and treat patients with suicidal ideation. The project provides a completely novel approach to assessing and treating suicidal patients. A second venue of research and clinical care development in the emergency room is to provide more comprehensive screening and brief motivational interventions for patients in the emergency room with substance use disorders. This project will help to identify individuals with unrecognized alcohol and substance use disorders and to help motivate them to get treatment, as well as providing an improved network of providers of care for substance use disorders. This project is done in collaboration with the department of emergency medicine, trauma surgery and UAB’s addiction recovery program.
