Family Nurse Practitioner Workforce Response To The Public Health Opioid Crisis Through Curriculum Revision, Dayle Sharp, Marcy Doyle, Michelle Capozzoli

All Materials

The opioid crisis continues to pose a critical public health challenge in the United States, demanding an adequately trained primary care workforce. In response, a Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP) program revised its curriculum to prepare students to care for individuals with Opioid Use Disorder (OUD) through a multi-pronged educational intervention. Grounded in Social Cognitive Theory, Situated Learning Theory, and Community of Practice Theory, the revised curriculum integrated a 24-hour Medication for Opioid Use Disorder (MOUD) waiver training, clinical shadowing with MOUD providers, and participation in a 10-month Project ECHO telementoring series based on SAMHSA’s Treatment Improvement Protocol (TIP) 63.

The Northeast Snow Survey (NESS) Feasibility Study was launched to address a critical gap in snowpack and weather monitoring across the northeastern United States. Unlike the western U.S., which benefits from the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) Snow Telemetry (SNOTEL) network, the Northeast lacks a coordinated, automated, real-time snow monitoring system—particularly at higher elevations where snowpack dynamics most strongly influence flooding, water supply, ecosystems, outdoor recreation, and working lands.

Funded through the FY2023 federal omnibus bill, the NESS Feasibility Study includes two phases: Phase 1–the content of this report–focused on interest holder engagement and …

Granite Staters Unhappy With Ice But Believe Illegal Immigration Is A Serious Problem 2/25/2026, Unh Survey Center

All UNH Survey Center Polls

A majority of New Hampshire residents think the actions of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) have made the country less safe and nearly half support abolishing ICE entirely. Only one-third of state residents trust the federal government to investigate recent ICE-related shootings in Minnesota and a majority favor impeaching Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem. However, illegal immigration remains a serious issue to most Granite Staters, and approval of President Trump's handling of the issue is largely unchanged since early 2024. A majority continue to disapprove of Trump's overall job performance, with supporters and detractors of Trump frequently mentioning immigration as …

Nevertheless, nearly two-thirds of Mainers think illegal immigration is a very or somewhat serious problem in the U.S. and half feel it is very or somewhat serious in Maine. Support for Trump's overall job performance has increased since December and Trump's handling of immigration is cited most …

All UNH Survey Center Polls

A majority of Connecticut residents say Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) during President Trump's administration have made the country less safe and support the impeachment of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem.

All UNH Survey Center Polls

Graham Platner continues to hold a large lead over Maine governor Janet Mills in the race for the Democratic nomination for US Senate. Platner leads incumbent Republican Senator Susan Collins in a general election matchup, while Collins and Mills are deadlocked. In the gubernatorial election, Democrat Nirav Shah and Republican Robert Charles lead their respective primaries, but many likely primary voters are undecided and many candidates are unknown to them.

All UNH Survey Center Polls

Incumbent Connecticut Governor Ned Lamont continues to hold a comfortable lead in his bid for the Democratic nomination in 2026, although approval of Lamont's performance as governor has slipped in recent months.

The high cost of living is seen as the most important problem facing the state and just over half of state residents say it has been difficult to pay their home heating costs this winter, and a …

Neither the declared candidates nor possible late entrant and former Governor Gina Raimondo are particularly popular among likely Democratic primary voters, and very few want Raimondo to launch a new campaign for governor. On the Republican side, the declared candidates are not well-known among likely Republican primary voters, but there is strong interest in 2022 Republican nominee Ashley Kalus running again. Approval of Governor Dan McKee's performance as governor has fallen to an all-time low, but …
