Non-medical Opioid Use and Opioid Use Disorder in Adolescents
(Note: a course evaluation is required to receive credit for this course.)
Sharon Levy, MD, MPH
Director, Adolescent Substance Use and Addiction Program
Associate Professor in Pediatrics, Harvard Medical School
The most common focus when people discuss substance use is the impact it has on infants and adults, despite evidence of the impact adolescent substance use has on adults, and the increasing number of adolescents who meet diagnostic criteria for a substance use disorder. This presentation will focus on the neurobiological effects of opioid use in adolescents, as well as primary prevention, secondary prevention and treatment options. The presentation was recorded at Effective Pediatric Pain Management and End of Life Care 2021, on March 6, 2021.
Objectives:
At the conclusion of this educational program, learners will be able to:
- Explain what part of the brain develops during adolescence and how that relates to substance use.
- Describe how to screen for and intervene with teens that report non- medical opioid use.
- Discuss the importance of medication assisted treatment for opioid use disorders.

Associate Professor, Neurology, Johns Hopkins Medical School
Welcome to the RITA-T web-based training! We are happy you chose to utilize this resource to become trained to administer the RITA-T in order to help better identify children at high risk for an ASD diagnosis. This web-based training program has been designed for users to work through in linear fashion with access to activities and content set to become available as you work through each piece of content.
*The RITA-T Team will be updating the administration of item I: Mirror: Self-Recognition. Please check back on the course site or our website for updates as we continue to develop this. Updates to the training course and RITA-T material will be made accordingly.*
Thank you!
The RITA-T Team
Learn more about the RITA-T on the Boston Children’s Hospital website
This course would not have been possible without the help, support, advice, and patience, of a whole team that includes: Acknowledgements
Before beginning, please print 6 RITA-T scoring sheets and the RITA-T Administration Manual from the “Downloads” tab above.
Estimated completion time: 3.5 hrs.
You can do each part at a time, i.e. save and get back to it. When you have completed all 8 sections, and achieved the appropriate scores on the practice videos, you will be awarded your certificate. If you ordered a kit, it was shipped to you when you registered.
Learning Objectives:
At the conclusion of this educational program, learners will be able to:
- Train reliably on administering a level 2 interactive ASD screener, the RITA-T that differentiates between ASD and non-ASD
- List the early signs of ASD
- Integrate a level 2 ASD screener in practice to improve access to diagnosis
- Analyze community and clinical models that can facilitate evaluations for ASD in toddlers, and strengthen community partnerships
This program consists of 8 sections:
- Pre-test
The pre-test will allow you to test your knowledge on important elements such as the early signs of autism, and screening tests, and compare your progress on the post-test at at the end of the course. There is no passing score required for the pre-test. - Educational Background
- Early Signs of ASD
- An Early Intervention Model
- Overview of the RITA-T
- RITA-T overview, development, current models
- Video of RITA-T administration and scoring.
- Step by Step Training
- In this section, you first need 3 scoring sheets labeled: CLIP 1, CLIP 2, and CLIP 3. You will watch 3 different presentations of each of the RITA-T 9 items being administered. You can watch this as many times as needed.
- When ready, you will score that item on the corresponding sheet. After you hand score each clip, you will then enter your scores on the corresponding questions under the video.
- After selecting your answers, select “Finish Activity” and you will be given points based on how many items you got correct for that press and an explanation on how the scoring was determined. You can re-score as many times as needed.
- Once you have completed the “post-clip quiz” for all 27 clips you will be ready to move on to the Independent Practice.
- Independent Practice Videos
- For this final section, you will watch 3 complete administrations of the RITA-T, one video at a time. You will use the 3 remaining scoring sheets to score each administration.
- At the end of each of the 3 test administrations you will select the correct score range for the administration.
- You must get the correct final score on the 3 videos within 3 points range to pass the evaluation and receive your certificate. You can re-score the videos as many times as needed.
- Post-test
You will need to complete a post-test at the completion of this training. You must earn a 70% or higher to continue. You can repeat this test as many times as you need to achieve this score. - Course Evaluation
Following the post-test, we ask that you complete a very short survey about the course. We will receive notification that you have completed your training. - Now you have trained on the RITA-T! Then what?
Now you need to practice using the RITA-T! Allow yourself a few times to administer it “live” even with the manual until you feel totally confident. Administer the RITA-T on young children in your family. Become familiar with each of the items and how to use them correctly. Administer the test on young children in your program who you do not have concerns for. Score in pairs to become familiar with the scoring and to establish interrater reliability. Identify a system within your program to integrate the RITA-T.
Please review the RITA-T Syllabus below, or download it with the link in the sidebar to the right. Once you have done that, please take the pre-test. The pre-test is designed to asses your general knowledge of the early signs of autism as well as characteristics of certain screening tools. The post-test is designed to assess your knowledge gain after having taken the course. See the Help tab for information about navigation this course and other frequently asked questions.
Syllabus
You will need to download and print one (1) copy of the RITA-T Manual, which you should keep with you as you practice and administer the screening test.

Early Childhood and Health care providers can become trained to administer the RITA-T, which can be integrated into diverse settings to better screen and identify toddlers who are high risk and need further diagnostic evaluation. The screening test consist of 9 items and takes about 10 minutes to administer and score. Each of the 9 activities designed to evaluate five developmental constructs known to represent early signs of ASD in toddlers 18-36 months.
