Eat, Sleep Console Study Primary ResultsThe ESC Study Partner Toolkit includes:
• Newsletter article
• Key takeaways
• Social media posts
• Graphics and images
• Plain language summary in English, Spanish, and French
• Explainer video
The Eat, Sleep, Console (ESC) Study assessed whether the ESC care approach could safely and effectively improve the function and comfort of newborns with Neonatal Opioid Withdrawal Syndrome (NOWS) compared to the traditional care approach. Study results indicated that the newborns cared for with ESC were medically ready for discharge approximately 6.6 days earlier and were 63% less likely to receive medication for treatment compared to newborns cared for using the traditional approach.

Our team tailored a toolkit of products designed to disseminate the primary study results and provide information to accommodate very distinct audiences. The final products incorporated feedback from association partners, the Rapid Feedback Team, and other stakeholders. Eight association partners disseminated the toolkit to their wider networks.

ESC Care Approach Implementation GuidanceThe ESC care approach implementation planning tools include the resource guide, Considerations for Implementing the Eat, Sleep, Console Approach.

The dissemination toolkit includes:
• A longer article explaining the planning guide
• A shorter newsletter post
• Social media content
• Social media tiles
• Graphics and images
In response to hospitals and birthing centers who wanted more information about the Eat, Sleep, Console (ESC) Care Approach, our team created a planning resource, Considerations for Implementing the Eat, Sleep, Console Approach. The guide outlines preliminary steps hospitals can take if considering future implementation.

The planning resource contains:
• Background information on Neonatal Opioid Withdrawal Syndrome (NOWS) and the ESC care approach
• A summary of recent clinical trial results
• A list of foundational components
• Steps to help plan for implementation
• Links to additional key resources and recommended reading

To support the planning resource, the team also created a dissemination toolkit which contains:
• A longer article explaining the planning guide
• A shorter newsletter post
• Social media content
• Social media tiles
• Graphics and images

Brain Pain Signature StudyThe BRAIN Pain Study toolkit includes:
• A blog post
• Key takeaways
• Social media posts
• Graphics and images
In May 2023, researchers for the BRAIN Initiative Brain Signatures for Chronic Pain Study published exciting results in Nature Neuroscience. For the first time, researchers successfully recorded brain activity in individuals with treatment-resistant chronic nerve pain. This new research showed that personalized chronic pain signatures can track pain episodes in real time, offering the potential for novel therapies such as patient-specific brain stimulation. The study was funded through HEAL and by the National Institutes of Health’s Brain Research Through Advancing Innovative Neurotechnologies® (BRAIN) Initiative.

In order to amplify these results, our team developed a simple toolkit consisting of a blog post, key takeaways, and social media posts that leveraged NIH-approved content and new graphics.

Back Pain on the Rise The Back Pain on the Rise toolkit includes:
• A blog post
• Social media content
• An infographic
• Graphics and images
Researchers for the HEAL-funded Back Pain Consortium (BACPAC) Research Program are investigating a variety of novel solutions to the rising rate of back pain in U.S. adults. This toolkit highlights several of those solutions, including work on a whole-person model to map the diverse causes and treatments for back pain; research into wearable devices that help people with muscle weaknesses; and the use of virtual reality to help ease chronic pain.Association Partner logos who assisted with dissemination06/13/23
Opioid-Overdose Reduction Continuum of Care Approach (ORCCA)
The ORCCA partner dissemination toolkit includes:
• The Policymaker Guide
• Newsletter/blog post
• Infographic
• Social media posts
• Key takeaways
• Fact Sheet
• Graphics and images
Through an extensive collaboration with the HEALing Communities Study dissemination working group and stakeholder association partners, the HEAL Connections team helped to translate the science and evidence behind the Opioid-Overdose Reduction Continuum of Care Approach (ORCCA) first published in Drug and Alcohol Dependence.

The team developed a policymaker guide and additional research translation products outlining 19 essential evidence-based interventions to reduce opioid overdose deaths. More than 15 national associations participated in the dissemination of the guide and toolkit

The ORCCA guide and toolkit launched on December 5, 2023. By December 31, it had more than 19,000 engagements.
