Dr. Ann M. Mitchell is a professor of nursing and psychiatry at the University of Pittsburgh School of Nursing. She is a Fellow in the International Academy of Addictions Nursing (FIAAN) and the in the American Academy of Nursing (FAAN). Dr. Mitchell’s scholarly interests include mental health outcomes research, bereavement following a death by suicide, and screening, brief intervention, and referral to treatment (SBIRT) in relationship to alcohol and drug use. Dr. Mitchell has served as Project Director (PI) and Project Coordinator (PC) on two HRSA-funded projects designed to teach SBIRT to interprofessional groups of students and healthcare professionals. Recently, she has been funded by SAMHSA to integrate SBIRT education into the Nurse Practitioner (NP) curriculum, and has also worked with the CDC on two projects to incorporate alcohol screening and brief intervention (Alcohol SBI) into nursing practice – with the ultimate goal of preventing fetal alcohol spectrum disorders (FASDs). Currently, Dr. Mitchell is funded by SMHSA to integrate information on medication assisted treatment for opioid use disorders into the NP curriculum. Dr. Mitchell is certified as a clinical research coordinator (CCRC) through the Association of Clinical Research Professionals and provides consultation and education specific to research and evidence-based practices. She is the current Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Addictions Nursing.
Dr. Vourakis first became interested in the field of addictions during her work in a medical emergency clinic (MEC). This led her to shift her specialty from acute care nursing to ambulatory nursing in a methadone maintenance treatment center in Atlanta, GA. She has consistently advocated for nurses, no matter the specialty or setting, to identify patients at risk for substance use disorders and intervene with a focus or prevention, identification, and/or early intervention. In her Spring, 1996 Editorial for the Journal of Addictions Nursing, Dr Vourakis first published the coined phrase “Addictions Nursing is Knowledge Specific Not Setting Specific.” Dr. Vourakis has dedicated her career to addictions nursing with contributions to service, practice and policy. In April 1979 as the lead author of the AJN cover article, “Angel Dust: Not Heaven Sent,” readers were introduced to a primary, secondary and tertiary prevention perspective on substance use. Her co-edited interdisciplinary collaborative textbook published in 1983, Substance Abuse: Pharmacologic, Developmental and Clinical Perspectives, was regarded by reviewers as landmark because it transformed nursing’s prevailing view of addictions from a singular focus on one who abuses substances to a focus on at-risk populations spanning all nursing specialties. As the retiring Cofounder and Editor for the Journal of Addictions Nursing (spanning a 30 year career in addictions journal development and editorial leadership), co-editor/author of three editions of the Addictions Nursing Core Curriculum, and as a 30 year leader on the International Nurses Society on Addictions Board of Directors, she has been instrumental in changing the culture of addictions nursing from a hopeless alcoholic perspective to one of promoting prevention and maintenance of change.
