Exploring Associations Between Social Factors and Current Substance Use Among Older African Americans with HIV
Background: Substance use is highly prevalent among older people with HIV and continues to have a negative impact on engagement along the HIV care continuum, particularly among African Americans (AA). Social factors like resource insecurity, stigma, and discrimination may play a role in substance use behaviors. However, there is limited research on how these social factors impact substance use among older people with HIV. Objectives: The purpose …
Naloxone administration and survival in overdoses involving opioids and stimulants
Methamphetamine Use Practices, Motivations, and Perceived Benefits and Risks
Methamphetamine use has increased across the US. To develop adequate interventions, understanding differences in male and female methamphetamine use is critical. Conducted in Dayton, Ohio, this study explores sex differences in attitudes and practices of methamphetamine use. Between 12/2019 and 11/2021, the study recruited 91 participants. Bivariate analyses were used to identify sex differences. Of the 91 participants, 52.7% were female, 95.6% w…
The Place Under the Bridge
This essay uses digital photography to explore the surface assemblage of materials in a temporary dwelling, a sheltered nook under a bridge whose occasional occupants were known to me through their participation in large, federally funded public health study where I worked as a researcher for several years. Through a photographic practice, I attempt to process the differing objectives of public health and anthropological research, and my own tran…
Spatiotemporal Impacts of Drug Crop and Commodity Agriculture on Cultural Ecosystem Services
In recent decades, drug crop eradication and drug trafficking interdiction have pushed drug crop cultivation into new areas of the Amazonian rain forest. The presence of the drug industries in these regions—followed by alternative development programs that aim to substitute illicit drug crops with commodity crops like cacao—has transformed forest ecologies, risking loss to both biodiversity and cultural ecosystem services (CES) for surrounding co…
Characterizing prescription opioid, heroin, and fentanyl initiation trajectories
‘Things that you can’t really suppress’
While numerous studies have established relationships between Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) and adult substance use, few qualitative studies have explored the differing ways in which experiences of childhood adversity are emplotted into narratives of drug use and recovery. This paper analyzes qualitative data collected as part of a mixed-methods longitudinal study of people with opioid use disorder. Narratives of adverse childhood experien…
Exploring the Impact of Experiences with Everyday and Major Discrimination and HIV-Related Stigma on Engagement in HIV Care Among Older African Americans Living with HIV
Lay knowledge and practices of methamphetamine use to manage opioid-related overdose risks
Lay efforts to rely on methamphetamine to manage NPF-related overdose risks highlight the need for a continuing expansion of take-home-naloxone programs and implementation of other novel harm reduction approaches in communities affected by NPFs

Ticuna Ceramics Amidst the Expansion of Illicit Coca
In Ticuna communities across Amazonia, ceramics are useful objects employed for cooking and storage. Their practical importance, however, does not describe the extent of their significance. In the following article, we consider Ticuna ceramics and ceramic-making practices as a means of studying the changes set in motion by the transformation of Ticuna ancestral lands in Peru’s lowland Amazonian region into zones of illicit coca cultivation. Drawi…
“It’s Crazy What Meth Can Help You Do”
BACKGROUND: Across the U.S., methamphetamine use is expanding among people who use illicit opioids (PWUIO). Motives for methamphetamine use must be contextualized within the experiences of PWUIO, who may use methamphetamine not only to achieve euphoria, but also as a tactic of self-management. The overall aim of this study is to contextualize lay beliefs, practices, and experiences of methamphetamine use as a form of self-treatment of symptoms re…
Exploring the Interactions between Non-Medical Methamphetamine Use and Prescribed Buprenorphine or Naltrexone in Opioid Use Disorder Treatment Retention
OBJECTIVES: Our objectives were to examine the impact of methamphetamine use on opioid use disorder (OUD) treatment retention in patients prescribed either buprenorphine/buprenorphine-naloxone (BUP-NX) or naltrexone/extended-release naltrexone (XR-NTX), while also exploring the role of other risk factors that may modify the impact of methamphetamine use. METHODS: We conducted an exploratory retrospective study examining OUD treatment retention in…
Narco‐Infrastructures and the Persistence of Illicit Coca in Loreto
In this article, I examine the persistence of illicit coca in Loreto, in the northeastern Amazonian region of Peru. I engage ethnographically with the formation and perseverance of a mutable yet resilient network that has enabled the movement of illicit drugs: what I call a narco‐infrastructure. Beginning with the “absent state” argument so frequently put forth to understand the proliferation of narco‐economies, I turn attention to the ways in wh…
A Second Chance
The following article discusses a collaborative, reenactment film made with the residents of a drug rehabilitation center in Iquitos, Peru. In so doing, it raises questions about narratives of recovery from addiction, and the tensions that emerge between these narratives and the often‐ambivalent feelings of the people who tell them. Practices of filmmaking and reenactment generate a collaborative theorization of lived experience—in this case, the…
Methamphetamine Use and Its Correlates among Individuals with Opioid Use Disorder in a Midwestern U.S. City
Background: U.S. is experiencing a surging trend of methamphetamine use among individuals who use opioids. More research is needed to characterize this emerging “twin epidemic.” Objectives: The study aims to identify social and behavioral characteristics associated with methamphetamine use among individuals with opioid use disorder (OUD) in the Dayton, Ohio, area, an epicenter of the opioid crisis and an emerging frontier of methamphetamine epide…

The Ax Fight
Although The Ax Fight is one of the most discussed films in the history of ethnographic cinema, we argue that commentators have overlooked certain key aspects of the film. Critical engagement with Asch's techniques and how they work to shape a particular interpretation of the Yanomamo is crucial to understanding the kind of anthropological work that ethnographic film does and can do. Offered as an exercise in close reading, this essay is intended…

A pretext for plunder? Environmental change and state-led redevelopment in the Peruvian Amazon
In 2014, the Peruvian federal government declared the low-income neighbourhood of Pueblo Libre de Belén in the Amazonian city of Iquitos to be in a state of emergency. A federal decree stated that 'constant inundation' from the Itaya River had put residents and their homes in jeopardy. Following this declaration, the federal government proposed to resettle residents in a planned community, 13 km outside the city. Drawing from interviews with 77 h…

Where Indeed Is the Theory in Visual Anthropology
This continues the discussion that was launched in 2014 in Visual Anthropology, 27(5): 436–456. NotesProfilmy: The actor takes into consideration the fact that he is in representation—whatever the forms are—in front of a camera and during the time of the shoot. The actor always has an intention, except if he is filmed without knowing it. Even in that case, if he agrees on his image during the editing, we could suggest that there would be a kind o…

Mortality among workers exposed to coal tar pitch volatiles and welding emissions
The United Automobile Workers International Union has established a system of epidemiologic triage to evaluate patterns of mortality among groups of union members. In response to worker concerns, the Union examined mortality at a metal stamping plant, using a method which linked pension records with the State of Michigan computerized death registry. The observed proportion of malignant neoplasms was nearly twice that expected (95% Confidence Limi…
