Electronic Cigarette Use and Associated Risk Factors in U.S.-Dwelling Pacific Islander Young Adults
Andrew M Subica, Erick G Guerrero et al.ARTICLESubstance Use & Misuse2020
Background: E-cigarette use is rapidly increasing among US young adults, heightening their risk for vaping-related illnesses. Yet, little is known about e-cigarette use among young adult Native Hawaiians and Pacific Islanders (NHPI): an indigenous-colonized US racial group rarely described in research literature. This exploratory study provides the first known data on e-cigarette use and potential risk factors in NHPI young adults. Method: Self-r…
Sources of Misused Prescription Opioids and Their Association with Prescription Opioid Use Disorder in the United States
Ji-Yeun Park, Li-Tzy Wu et al.ARTICLESubstance Use & Misuse2020
Background: Prescription opioid (PO) misuse and prescription opioid use disorder (POUD) are a national crisis in the USA. To inform strategies for reducing the PO epidemic, research is needed on the sources of misused POs and their association with POUD. Methods: Past-year PO misusers aged ≥12 (N = 6033) from the 2015 to 2016 National Surveys on Drug Use and Health were analyzed. The most recent source of misused POs was assessed. Logistic regres…
National trends and characteristics of inpatient detoxification for drug use disorders in the United States
Open AccessHe Zhu, Li-Tzy Wu et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2018
These findings suggest the presence of a potentially large detoxification-treatment gap for inpatient detoxification patients. They highlight the need for implementing DUD services to improve engagement in receiving further DUD treatment in order to improve recovery and health outcomes
Marijuana use and sex with multiple partners among lesbian, gay and bisexual youth
Open AccessXiaoyun Zhang, Li-Tzy Wu et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2017
MU is concurrently and prospectively associated with increased odds of SMP in the adolescent sample and in the young adult sample. Findings imply that prevention/intervention on HIV risk behaviors may benefit from MU reduction not only in LGB adolescents but also in young adults
Nonmedical Opioid Pain Relievers and All-Cause Mortality
Linda B Cottler, Hui Hu et al.ARTICLEAmerican Journal of Public Health2016Referencias: 18
Objectives. We investigated whether nonmedical opioid pain reliever use is associated with higher mortality in the general US population. Methods. We assessed the history of nonmedical opioid pain reliever use among 9985 people interviewed at baseline of the Epidemiologic Catchment Area Program initiated in 1981 to 1983 in Baltimore, Maryland; St. Louis, Missouri; and Durham, North Carolina. We linked the data with the National Death Index throug…
The Association of Gasoline Prices With Hospital Utilization and Costs for Motorcycle and Nonmotorcycle Motor Vehicle Injuries in the United States
He Zhu, Fernando A Wilson et al.ARTICLEMedical Care2016Referencias: 15
OBJECTIVES: This study examined the association between gasoline prices and hospitalizations for motorcycle and nonmotorcycle motor vehicle crash (MVC) injuries. METHODS: Data on inpatient hospitalizations were obtained from the 2001 to 2010 Nationwide Inpatient Sample. Panel feasible generalized least squares models were used to estimate the effects of monthly inflation-adjusted gasoline prices on hospitalization rates for MVC injuries and to pr…

The number of Americans aged 50+ years with a substance use disorder is projected to double from 2.8 million in 2002-2006 to 5.7 million in 2020. The authors provide a review of epidemiological findings for this understudied area of research by focusing on illicit drug use disorders and nonmedical use of prescription drugs among adults aged 50+ years. Method: MEDLIN…
