Reach of Community-Selected Strategies to Reduce Opioid-Related Overdose Deaths in the Healing Communities Study
INTRODUCTION: Despite recent declines, the U.S. opioid overdose crisis persists. The HEALing Communities Study (HCS) aimed to reduce opioid overdose deaths through community-level adoption of evidence-based practices (EBPs), including overdose education and naloxone distribution (OEND) and medications for opioid use disorder (MOUD). This paper describes the reach of OEND and MOUD strategies implemented by the 33 HCS wait-list control communities.…
Clinical and demographic characteristics of participants in a hepatitis C treatment trial in rural Kentucky
INTRODUCTION: The advent of curative direct acting antiviral (DAA) drugs to treat those actively infected with the hepatitis C virus (HCV) has allowed for discussion around HCV elimination. Restrictive state-by-state policies for the coverage of DAAs for Medicaid recipients may hamper elimination efforts in the United States by limiting access to these curative treatments. METHODS: The purpose of the current analysis was to examine the sociodemog…
Analysing the impact of complex multimorbidity on health-related quality of life
This paper presents independent associations between complex multimorbidity and health-related quality of life using the EQ-5D-5L instruments. Identifying the decrements in utility associated with complex multimorbidity is of value for economic evaluation and health technology assessment. Data from the population normative dataset from the Irish EQ-5D-5L study were combined with baseline data from the SPPiRE (Supporting Prescribing in Older Adult…
The importance of contextually specific support relationships in implementing programs to link people to medication for opioid use disorder (Moud) treatment during reentry from county jails
BACKGROUND: This study uses the Practical, Robust, Implementation, and Sustainability Model (PRISM) and Reach, Effectiveness, Adoption, Implementation, and Maintenance (RE-AIM) model to describe how features of jail contexts are associated with the number of people linked to medication for opioid use disorder (MOUD) and sustainment of jail linkage programs implemented in Wave 1 of the HEALing Communities Study in Kentucky (HCS-KY) from 2021 to 22…
Overdose education and naloxone distribution in jails
BACKGROUND: Opioid-related overdose is the leading cause of mortality among individuals recently released from incarceration in the U.S. Naloxone is an FDA-approved opioid antagonist medication designed to rapidly reverse opioid overdose. Despite evidence of its acceptability and effectiveness at reducing the risk of opioid overdose death after release from incarceration, only an estimated 25% of US jails provide naloxone upon release. This study…
Association of fentanyl test strip results and change in drug use behaviors
These findings suggest that FTS assist PWUD to immediately reduce their risks by changing drug use behaviors, including reducing the amount of drug used

The effectiveness of the communities that Heal intervention on reducing non-fatal opioid overdoses
Identifying and responding to policy-related barriers, facilitators, and misunderstandings in the Healing communities study
Effect of the Communities That Heal Intervention on Overdose Education and Naloxone Distribution
Objectives. To determine whether the Communities That HEAL (CTH) intervention is effective in increasing naloxone distribution compared with usual care. Methods. The HEALing (Helping to End Addiction Long-Term) Communities Study (HCS) is a cluster-randomized, parallel-arm, wait-list controlled implementation science trial testing the impact of the CTH intervention on increasing the use of evidence-based practices to lower opioid-related overdose …
The development of a recovery coaching training curriculum to facilitate linkage to and increase retention on medications for opioid use disorder
Introduction: Medication treatment for opioid use disorder (MOUD) decreases opioid overdose risk and is the standard of care for persons with opioid use disorder (OUD). Recovery coach (RC)-led programs and associated training curriculums to improve outcomes around MOUD are limited. We describe our comprehensive training curriculum including instruction and pedagogy for novel RC-led MOUD linkage and retention programs and report on its feasibility…
Rapid jail-based implementation of overdose education and naloxone distribution in response to the Covid-19 pandemic
Drug disposal deserts
PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to describe the county-level availability of drug disposal receptacles in Kentucky community pharmacies and show the relationship between installed receptacles and opioid analgesic (OA)/controlled substance dispensing rates, stratifying where possible by urban-rural classification. METHODS: Using 2020 data from the Kentucky All Schedule Prescription Electronic Reporting program and disposal receptacle data f…
Cannabinoid Poisoning-Related Emergency Department Visits and Inpatient Hospitalizations in Kentucky, 2017 to 2019
Background and objectives: Cannabis is the most used federally illicit substance. Due to widespread medicinal use and state-level legalization, public perceptions of cannabis have shifted toward the assumption that cannabis is safe. However, cannabinoids can cause adverse medical complications that may lead people to seek treatment. This study characterized cannabinoid poisoning-related medical encounters, poisoning involving cannabinoids and oth…
Broadband internet subscription rates and opioid prescribing via telemedicine during the Covid‐19 pandemic
PURPOSE: In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the US DEA allowed controlled substance prescriptions to be issued following a telemedicine encounter. This study evaluated changes in opioid prescribing in Kentucky counties with low and high rates of broadband subscription before, during, and after a series of statewide emergency declarations that may have affected health care access. METHODS: The study used the prescription drug monitoring program…
Recent Increase in Methamphetamine Use in a Cohort of Rural People Who Use Drugs
Appalachian Kentucky was at the epicenter of the prescription opioid epidemic in the early 2000's. As we enter the third decade of the epidemic, patterns have begun to emerge as people who use drugs (PWUD) transition from use of opioids to other drugs. The purpose of this analysis was to examine longitudinal changes in methamphetamine use in an ongoing cohort of rural people who use drugs (PWUD) in Appalachian Kentucky. All but five of the cohort…
