Passport to Wellness Intervention
We designed Passport to Wellness (PtW) to promote HIV/STI testing and prevention while addressing social determinants of health among Black sexual minority men (SMM). Over the course of a pilot study and small randomized controlled trial of PtW, we recruited and trained 10 Black SMM who implemented the intervention's Peer Mentor component. We describe here the Mentors training and supervision, and how they articulated their strategies for partici…
Breaking barriers
The opioid epidemic continues to claim lives at alarming rates, disproportionately affecting marginalized communities, with structural barriers preventing equitable access to lifesaving interventions such as naloxone. Harm reduction vending machines (HRVMs) offer a promising solution to this issue, providing low-barrier access to naloxone and other harm reduction supplies. This study examines the impact of different HRVM access models on product …
Methodological Lessons Learned From a Longitudinal Study of Overdose Vulnerability Among People Experiencing Homelessness Who Co-use Fentanyl and Stimulants in San Francisco, CA, USA
The U.S. overdose crisis is now driven by polysubstance use involving fentanyl and stimulants. We received funding through the National Institutes on Drug Abuse’s Helping to End Addiction Long-Term (HEAL) initiative to conduct longitudinal qualitative research on polysubstance use among people experiencing homelessness (PEH) in San Francisco, California. An Intersectional Risk Environment Framework was used to examine the interaction between soci…
Bringing Lived Experience to Research on Health and Homelessness
Community Needs Assessment among Latino Families in an Urban Public Housing Development
Studies examining the health of public housing residents are limited. In response, community-based participatory research principles were used to develop an intervention aimed at improving health outcomes related to multifactorial risk behaviors among Latino families living in a low-income neighborhood. A two-part needs assessment was completed to guide the intervention: interviews with parents ( n = 10) and a group model building (GMB) workshop …
A Public Health Strategy for the Opioid Crisis
Drug overdose is now the leading cause of injury death in the United States. Most overdose fatalities involve opioids, which include prescription medication, heroin, and illicit fentanyl. Current data reveal that the overdose crisis affects all demographic groups and that overdose rates are now rising most rapidly among African Americans. We provide a public health perspective that can be used to mobilize a comprehensive local, state, and nationa…

Initiation of Heroin and Prescription Opioid Pain Relievers by Birth Cohort
We examined initiation patterns among different birth cohorts of people who used prescription opioids and heroin because of historical differences in drug use availability. We examined data from a community-based study of persons who inject drugs (n = 483) in California and a general population survey from the National Survey on Drug Use and Health (n = 1264) and found that individuals born after 1980 were more likely than were individuals born b…
The Privatization of Public Safety in Urban Neighborhoods
The business improvement district (BID) is a popular economic development and urban revitalization model in which local property and business owners must pay an assessment tax that funds supplementary services, including private security. BIDs constitute a controversial form of urban revitalization to some because they privatize economic development and public safety efforts in public space. This study examines whether BIDs provide tangible benef…
Ethical Principles in Social-Behavioral Research on Terrorism
This RAND Working Paper documents the proceedings of a daylong workshop held in January 2007 to probe the parameters that should guide the ethical conduct of social and behavioral research on terrorism.
