Research on critical aspects of primary care—including opioid management, alcohol dependence relapse prevention, hypertension control, infectious disease prevention and surveillance, interdisciplinary teamwork and the health of indigenous and vulnerable populations—was the focus of UW Department of Family Medicine and Community Health (DFMCH) presentations at the 2017 North American Primary Care Research Group (NAPCRG) annual meeting, held November 17-21, 2017, in Montreal, Quebec.

The DFMCH presented the work of 31 of its faculty, staff, and fellows through one plenary session, 16 posters and seven oral presentations, one forum and one workshop. Jonathan Temte, MD, PhD, was also a moderator for the Child and Adolescent Health oral presentation session, and Bruce Barrett, MD, PhD, and Dennis Baumgardner, MD, were conference reviewers.

NAPCRG is a multidisciplinary organization for researchers from all primary care generalist disciplines and related fields, including epidemiology, behavioral sciences and health services research. Its annual meeting is a forum for primary care researchers from across the globe to gather and present their research, collaborate for new research, and foster growth for up-and-coming researchers.
