I Don’t Want to Shoot up the Meth Anymore
BACKGROUND: Methamphetamine use is disproportionately high in rural settings, with rates increasing during the COVID-19 pandemic. While syringe service programs reduce disease transmission among people who inject drugs, limited research exists around the value of smoking equipment, specifically pipes, in minimizing harms associated with rural methamphetamine use. METHODS: We conducted semi-structured interviews with people who use methamphetamine…
I Don’t Believe a Person Has to Die When Trying to Get High
People who inject drugs understood fentanyl to be a potential contaminant in their drug supply and actively engaged in harm reduction techniques to try to prevent overdose. Interventions to increase harm reduction education and information about and access to fentanyl test strips and naloxone would be beneficial
How the rural risk environment underpins hepatitis C risk
The rural risk environment framework acknowledges the importance of community and structural factors that influence HCV infection and other disease transmission and care. We find that larger structural factors produce vulnerabilities and reduce access to resources, which negatively impact hepatitis C disease outcomes
The Impact of the Covid-19 Pandemic on Drug Use Behaviors, Fentanyl Exposure, and Harm Reduction Service Support among People Who Use Drugs in Rural Settings
The COVID-19 pandemic period was characterized by changing drug availability, increased overdose risk, and other drug-related harms faced by people who use drugs in rural areas. Our findings emphasize the importance of ensuring access to harm reduction services, including overdose prevention and drug checking for this vulnerable population
Covid‐19 During the Opioid Epidemic – Exacerbation of Stigma and Vulnerabilities
The COVID-19 pandemic is an unprecedented event in modern American history. It has the potential to impact nearly every American community significantly regardless of its size. As of this writing (1 PM CST; 31 March 2020), the United States has had 174,467 confirmed cases and 3,461 deaths associated with COVID-19.1 A majority of the states are in some form of “lockdown” to increase social isolation in order to flatten the infection curve and fore…
Public Dreams, Private Means
A unique instance of railway construction in the U.S. illustrates the constraints on public enterprise in the 19th century. In spite of public ownership of an important regional line, the citizens of Cincinnati, Ohio, were unable to pursue a coherent policy for achieving their original goal: using the railway to advance the city's economic development. Unique administrative arrangements and unusually well drafted agreements governing operations, …
Foreign Direct Investment in British Retailing, 1850–1962
This article describes a newly compiled dataset on foreign multinationals in British retailing and compares the patterns of inward investment in retailing with those in manufacturing. Foreign retailers were present in Britain well before foreign manufacturers, but their numbers did not grow as dramatically after 1890. Strikingly, very few pre-World War Two foreign entrants into UK retailing were actually retailers. The great majority were instead…
