Strengthening Partnerships Between Syringe Services Programs and Police in the United States
Syringe services programs (SSPs) are community-based prevention interventions that provide a range of services to people who use drugs (PWUD), including access to sterile injection equipment, treatment referrals, infectious disease testing, and overdose prevention through naloxone distribution. Research shows that SSPs are effective at reducing infectious disease transmission and connecting people to treatment. SSPs are also considered safe, cost…
Prescription Opioid Diversion Sources Among African Americans
Recent data show that African Americans (AAs) experienced a greater increase in overdose deaths involving prescription opioids relative to other racial/ethnic groups. One possible mechanism through which elevated risk for overdose is conferred to AAs could be due to greater exposure to contaminated counterfeit pills. Unfortunately, prescription opioid diversion is understudied among AAs and less is known regarding which sources AAs use to access …
Patterns of opioid misuse initiation among African-Americans
Aims: Opioid misuse among African-Americans (AAs) has increased over the last two decades. However, there has been surprisingly little investigation into when/how AAs initiate their misuse of opioids. The purpose of this study, therefore, was to identify opioid misuse initiation patterns among AAs and assess whether these patterns differed from those of White Americans. The research goals were to identify the: (1) age at which opioid misuse initi…
Racial/Ethnic Differences in the Effects of Adverse Childhood Experiences on Substance Misuse among Justice-Involved Children
Background: Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) are linked to substance use (SU) and substance use disorders (SUD). However, this relationship has yet to be tested among justice-involved children (JIC), and it is unclear if racial/ethnic differences exist. This study aimed to determine: (1) whether ACEs are associated with increased risk of SU and SUD among JIC; and (2) if the effects of ACEs on SU and SUD are moderated by race/ethnicity. Method…

Attitudes toward methadone treatment among Black/African Americans
30). Only persons 18 years old or over who identified as Black/African American and reported past 90-day opioid misuse were eligible to participate. Analyses revealed that negative attitudes largely revolved around methadone's perceived helpfulness and side effects. The most strongly held attitudes were (a) methadone in a treatment program gets you high just like heroin, (b) the sooner a person stops taking methadone, the better, and (c) methadon…
Psychometric properties of the LifeSkills Training middle school health survey
LifeSkills Training (LST) is a popular drug prevention program shown to be effective at preventing youth substance use. The Middle School Health Survey (MSHS) is a questionnaire that was created by the developers of the LST curriculum to measure changes in knowledge and attitudes about drugs and life skills among youth. Despite the widespread use of the MSHS, the measurement quality of the instrument is largely unknown because no prior research h…
Sexual Risk Behaviors among African Americans Who Use MDMA (Molly/Ecstasy)
Numerous studies have linked sexual risk taking to recreational use of MDMA. Questions remain, however, regarding the extent and type of sexual risk behaviors that occur among MDMA users, especially African Americans who use the drug. Because the MDMA literature has historically relied on samples with little minority representation, little is known about Black MDMA users and their sexual risk taking. The primary goal of this study, therefore, was…

The Experiences of Young Adult Offenders Who Completed a Drug Court Treatment Program
Although there has been a proliferation of studies on the effectiveness of drug court programs, these studies are largely quantitative in nature. Little is known about the experiences of persons who participate in drug court. In this study, we aimed to fill this knowledge gap by exploring experiences of young adults who completed an adult drug court treatment program. Nine semi-structured interviews were conducted, typed into a word-processing pr…
Examining Rural/Urban Differences in Prescription Opioid Misuse Among US Adolescents
PURPOSE: This study examines differences in prescription opioid misuse (POM) among adolescents in rural, small urban, and large urban areas of the United States and identifies several individual, social, and community risk factors contributing to those differences. METHODS: We used nationally representative data from the 2011 and 2012 National Survey on Drug Use and Health and estimated binary logistic regression and formal mediation models to as…
Understanding Barriers to Mental Health Care for Recent War Veterans Through Photovoice
Despite an urgent need for mental health care among U.S. service members returning from deployments to Iraq and Afghanistan, many veterans do not receive timely or adequate treatment. We used photovoice methods to engage veterans in identifying barriers to utilizing mental health services. Veterans described how key aspects of military culture and identity, highly adaptive during deployment, can deter help-seeking behavior and hinder recovery. Ve…
Clarifying the Philosophy Behind the Community Mental Health Act and Community‐based Interventions
The passing of the Community Mental Health Act was supposed to signal a change in the treatment of mental disorders. The idea was to embed interventions as much as possible in a community, so that treatment is accessible and appropriately designed. However, many programs that strive to be community‐based never achieve this status. The problem is that becoming community‐based is often treated as merely a methodological or tactical change, rather t…

Understanding the Etiology of Prescription Opioid Abuse
Although studies on the initiation of substance abuse abound, the body of literature on prescription opioid abuse (POA) etiology is small. Little is known about why and how the onset of POA occurs, especially among high-risk populations. In this study we aimed to fill this important knowledge gap by exploring the POA initiation experiences of 90 prescription opioid abusers currently in treatment and their narrative accounts of the circumstances s…
