In Canada, evidence-based treatments for chronic pain are often inaccessible for many people with a concurrent diagnosis of OUD, which may be a critical missed opportunity in efforts to reduce overdose rates and improve outcomes for those with OUD.

What was your first job as a journalist?

At 16 I interviewed punk band Battalion of Saints in the back of their van at the fairgrounds in Salt Lake City.

Have you ever used a typewriter?

Absolutely. I'm 46, so I was writing long before word processors, but I'll never go back...you can't make me go back!!

How is social media changing news?

News comes at a much quicker pace and, I feel, is much less reliable than it used to be. Social media has diminished journalism credibility.
