Community Advisory Board Members Speak Out
INTRODUCTION: Incorporating the knowledge of people who use/have used drugs into academic research presents the possibility of new ways of understanding drug use, increasing opportunities for equitable outcomes. Community Advisory Boards (CAB) are part of the community-engaged research continuum offering community members clearly defined roles and a structure to advise academic researchers. Acting in an advisory capacity, CAB members have a platf…
Work Really Is Being Done and It's Very Worthwhile
Background: The federally-funded four-state HEALing Communities Study (HCS) aims to reduce fatal opioid overdoses. Each state was required to establish a Community Advisory Board (CAB). CABs have the potential to shape research priorities, ensuring relevance to affected communities. Objectives: Describe personal and professional benefits of Massachusetts HCS CAB participation. Discuss strategies that promote HCS-MA CAB member benefits. Methods: N…
The Process and Cost of Developing a Community Advisory Board Focused on Opioid Overdose Deaths
Background: We describe the Community Advisory Board (CAB) development and costing processes employed by The Helping to End Addiction Long-term (HEALing) Communities Study, Massachusetts (HCS-MA). The actual process and costs associated with establishing a CAB representative of people who use drugs have not been published. Methods: A participatory process was used to identify and recruit CAB members. Health economics costing strategies were used …
Assessing anxiety and depression trajectories among single homeless adults receiving rapid rehousing following placement in housing
Despite growing international interest in using rapid rehousing (RRH) to address homelessness, there is little information about the mental health outcomes of RRH participants. We examined changes in anxiety and depression symptoms over time following placement in housing among a cohort of 98 single homeless adults receiving RRH services from a major city in the United States. We also assessed the extent to which sociodemographic characteristics,…
Research Note—Online SBIRT Training for On-Campus, Satellite Campus, and Online MSW Students
Social workers are in an ideal position to address the need for increased access to screening, brief intervention, and referral to treatment (SBIRT) for substance use disorder. This pre–post study explores the effects of SBIRT education and training among social work students from three campus environments (traditional, online, and satellite). Results demonstrated that participation in online training was related to increased levels of confidence…
Nuestra Recuperación [Our Recovery]
The experiences and voices of the Latinx community are crucial to drive discussions that advance policy (e.g., housing stability and access), enhance providers' understanding of Latinx Spanish-speakers' substance use disorder recovery, and inform culturally and linguistically appropriate services. This study demonstrated that photovoice is highly acceptable and feasible among Latinx clients receiving substance use disorder services. Visual images…

Evaluating culturally and linguistically integrated care for Latinx adults with mental and substance use disorders
Objective: To evaluate changes in health and health care utilization outcomes for Latinx adults with substance use and mental disorders receiving integrated behavioral and primary health care. Design: Study sample included enrollees who completed baseline, 6-month and 12-month assessments ( n = 107). Study outcomes were depression symptom severity, anxiety symptom severity, illicit drug use, emergency department utilization and homelessness statu…
Social and Economic Factors Associated With Recent and Lifetime Incarceration Among Puerto Rican Drug Users
Using a sample of 280 Puerto Rican drug users with a history of incarceration residing in Massachusetts, we explore whether a significant association exists between social and economic factors (maintaining social network contacts, receiving public assistance) and lifetime incarceration. Analysis of survey data using regression methods shows that respondents who live in their own home, receive public assistance, and have recent familial contact ar…
Predisposing, Enabling, and Need Factors Associated with Addiction Treatment among Massachusetts Puerto Rican Drug Users
For a sample of 425 Puerto Rican self-identified polydrug users residing in Massachusetts, this study examined predisposing, enabling, and need factors associated with having entered addiction treatment at least once in the past six months. A multivariate logistic regression model identified that having a regular health care provider, having received outpatient mental health treatment in the past year, having participated in self-help groups, int…
Factors associated with HIV/Aids high-risk behaviours among female injection drug users
This study examined factors associated with reporting engaging in HIV/AIDS high-risk behaviours at two different time points spaced one year apart for a sample of 185 women who were active injection drug users (IDUs). The high-risk behaviours included injecting drugs in the past six months, having shared needles in the past six months and having engaged in unprotected sexual activity in the past thirty days. Through logistic regression modelling …
The Home Care Satisfaction Measure
In the increasingly important area of home care, the HCSM is the first measure developed on the basis of the views of older consumers that also meets standard psychometric criteria. The HCSM provides a consumer-based indicator of quality and can be used to examine changes in satisfaction over time and differences among providers or within a single agency
