People Who Use Illegal Opioids Use of Methadone over Time, and What Characteristics Are Correlated with Staying in Methadone Maintenance Treatment
INTRODUCTION: Methadone maintenance treatment (MMT) is among the best strategies for reducing harms associated with illegal opioid use, yet it is hindered by low rates of treatment initiation and retention that limit its impact. There has been a lack of studies that describe how people who use illegal opioids use methadone-both from opioid treatment programs, and bought illegally-over time, or what factors correlate with long-term participation i…
Police Harassment and Psychiatric, Sexual, and Substance Use Risk Among Black Sexual Minority Men and Black Transgender Women in the HIV Prevention Trials 061 Cohort
Allocative efficiency analysis of strategies to reduce overdose deaths among people with opioid use disorder and history of incarceration in Connecticut
Maximally scaling community MOUD and naloxone can reduce ODDs among people who are incarcerated by 39%. Considering societal costs, maximally scaling all three decreases ODDs while saving money
An Examination of How People Who Use Drugs Conceptualize the Benefits and Drawbacks of Using Overdose Prevention Centers
Background: In 2021, NYC implemented overdose prevention center (OPC) services at two existing syringe exchange programs, allowing people to use pre-obtained drugs on-site. Although OPCs in Canada, Western Europe, and Australia have demonstrated their feasibility and benefits towards reducing overdose risk and drug-related harm, there is less data on how people who use drugs (PWUD) conceptualize the benefits and any potential drawbacks of using O…
Age Differences in the Associations Between Incarceration and Subsequent Substance Use, Sexual Risk-Taking, and Incident STI Among Black Sexual Minority Men and Black Transgender Women in the HIV Prev…
Incarceration can lead to different risk behaviors often due to increased distress and disruption of social networks. It is not well known, however, how these associations may differ by age. In this study, we measure age differences in longitudinal associations between incarceration and substance use, sex risk, and sexually transmitted infection (STI) among Black sexual minority men and Black transgender women (BSMM/BTW). We recruited BSMM/BTW fr…
Mediation of the Effect of Incarceration on Selling Sex Among Black Sexual Minority Men and Black Transgender Women in the HPTN 061 Study
Posttraumatic stress disorder symptoms and incarceration
Black men and people belonging to sexual minority groups are disproportionately impacted by criminal legal involvement and sexually transmitted infections (STIs). Traumatic experiences are often associated with later criminal legal involvement, depression symptoms, sexual risk behavior, and STIs. Research on the joint influence of trauma and incarceration on STI risk among racial and/or sexual minority people is limited. This study tested the ass…
Miscarriage and Abortion Among Women Attending Harm Reduction Services in Philadelphia
Background: Reproductive health research among women who use drugs has focused on pregnancy prevention and perinatal/neonatal outcomes, but there have been few investigations of miscarriage and abortion, including prevalence and associated factors. Methods: Using cross-sectional data from a sample of non-pregnant women receiving harm reduction services in Philadelphia in 2016–2017 we examined lifetime miscarriage and abortion (n = 187). Separatel…
The associations of incarceration and depression with healthcare experiences and utilization among Black men who have sex with men in HPTN 061
Associations of incarceration with healthcare access and utilization among Black sexual minority men (BSMM) and differences in association among those with and without pre-incarceration symptoms of depression were measured. Secondary analysis using survey data from the longitudinal cohort HIV Prevention Trials Network 061 study was conducted among 1553 BSMM from six major U.S. cities from 2009 to 2011. We used modified log-binomial regression wit…
Incarceration, Social Support Networks, and Health among Black Sexual Minority Men and Transgender Women
Support from social networks buffers against negative effects of stress but is disrupted by incarceration. Few studies examine incarceration, social support networks, and health among Black sexual minority men (BSMM) and Black transgender women (BTW). We conducted a secondary analysis using HIV Prevention Trials Network 061 (HPTN 061), a sample of BSMM/BTW recruited from six US cities. We measured associations between recent incarceration reporte…
The Joint Effect of Childhood Abuse and Homelessness on Substance Use in Adulthood
Background Childhood abuse and homelessness are independently associated with substance use. Though childhood abuse and homelessness are strongly correlated, research on the joint effect of exposure to both traumatic life events on substance use is limited. Objective: To estimate independent and joint effects of childhood abuse and homelessness on substance use risk during emerging adulthood and adulthood. Methods: Using the National Longitudinal…
Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP) Awareness Among Black Men Who Have Sex with Men with a History of Criminal Justice Involvement in Six U.S. Cities
Police harassment and psychosocial vulnerability, distress, and depressive symptoms among black men who have sex with men in the U.S
The mental health impact of exposure to police harassment is understudied, particularly among Black men who have sex with men (BMSM), a group at elevated risk of exposure to such discrimination. This study aimed to identify the associations among BMSM between recent police harassment and psychosocial vulnerability, psychological distress, and depression measured six months later. Data come from the HIV Prevention Trials Network (HPTN) 061 Study, …

Childhood Traumatic Experiences and Receptive Anal Intercourse Among Women
Women with a history of childhood trauma may be at increased risk of engaging in RAI, highlighting the importance of screening and trauma-informed education in sexual health settings. Pathways linking childhood trauma and RAI among women are complex and warrant further research
A conceptual model for understanding post-release opioid-related overdose risk
Post-release opioid-related overdose mortality is the leading cause of death among people released from jails or prisons (PRJP). Informed by the proximate determinants framework, this paper presents the Post-Release Opioid-Related Overdose Risk Model. It explores the underlying, intermediate, proximate and biological determinants which contribute to risk of post-release opioid-related overdose mortality. PRJP share the underlying exposure of inca…
Past year and prior incarceration and HIV transmission risk among HIV-positive men who have sex with men in the US
Three quarters of new HIV infections in the US are among men who have sex with men (MSM). In other populations, incarceration is a social determinant of elevations in viral load and HIV-related substance use and sex risk behavior. There has been limited research on incarceration and these HIV transmission risk determinants in HIV-positive MSM. We used the Veterans Aging Cohort Study (VACS) 2011-2012 follow-up survey to measure associations betwee…
