‘It Helped to Calm Me’
BACKGROUND: Research on the benefits of cannabis use continues to expand, and those benefits may extend to parents and pregnant people. However, there are few studies that examine perspectives of pregnant and parenting individuals who use cannabis, and no studies with parents who are medical cannabis patients for treatment of qualifying conditions (e.g., chronic pain, anxiety). METHODS: We used a thematic content analysis approach to analyze 24 s…
Controlled Use of Cannabis Among Young Adults in Los Angeles Across Changes in Cannabis Policies
The availability of cannabis has increased due to expanding legalization of cannabis across the USA. Controlled use of cannabis - rules by cannabis users that limit use - is a significant but understudied area in the present policy environment, particularly among young adults. A prospective Los Angeles-based cohort aged 18-26 who used cannabis in the past 90 days was assessed during eight survey waves across 9 years. Four discrete waves were anal…
Role Strain Among Parents Who are Medical Cannabis Patients in Pennsylvania
As medical cannabis legalization expands in the United States, more parents and people of child-bearing age are becoming medical cannabis patients (MCP). This analysis uses the theory of role strain to explore how parents navigate being an MCP in Pennsylvania. Twenty four semi-structured qualitative interviews with parents from an ongoing registry study of MCP were analyzed using an a priori codebook and complemented by codes to capture emergent …
Cannabis Practices and Cannabinoid/Terpene Preferences in Medical Cannabis Patients Who Use Cannabis for Pain and Anxiety
Therapeutic potential of cannabinoids and terpenes in cannabis products is complicated by the possibility to alleviate pain yet exacerbate anxiety symptoms. Little is known about how cannabis practices, and preferences for cannabinoids and terpenes differ among medical cannabis patients who use cannabis to relieve pain, or anxiety, or both. A concurrent explanatory mixed-methods design was utilized. The quantitative analytical sample ( n = 1,060)…
Mental and Physical Health-Related Cannabis Motives Mediate the Relationship between Childhood Trauma and Problematic Cannabis Use over Time among Emerging Adult Cannabis Users
Background While growing evidence has identified mental and physical health-related cannabis use motives as significant mechanisms between childhood trauma and problematic cannabis use (PCU) for emerging adults (EA), there is a need to understand the longitudinal stability of these pathways and how they impact PCU as cannabis users age into later adulthood.Methods The current study extends an analysis examining the impact of childhood trauma (e.g…
Pre-Post Cannabis Legalization for Adult Use
Cannabis was legalized for adult use in California in 2016 for individuals 21 and older. Among 18-20-years-olds, who can possess cannabis legally as medical cannabis patients (MCP) but not as non-patient cannabis users (NPU), the impact of adult use legalization (AUL) on cannabis and other substance use is unknown. Two cohorts of 18-20-year-old cannabis users (MCP and NPU) were surveyed, one in 2014-15 ( n = 172 "pre-AUL") and another in 2019-20 …
Miscarriage and Abortion Among Women Attending Harm Reduction Services in Philadelphia
Background: Reproductive health research among women who use drugs has focused on pregnancy prevention and perinatal/neonatal outcomes, but there have been few investigations of miscarriage and abortion, including prevalence and associated factors. Methods: Using cross-sectional data from a sample of non-pregnant women receiving harm reduction services in Philadelphia in 2016–2017 we examined lifetime miscarriage and abortion (n = 187). Separatel…
Pain Profiles among Young Adult Cannabis Users
Background Pain is a primary reason for medical cannabis use among young adults, however little is known about the patterns of pain in this group. This study identified pain profiles among young adult cannabis users and examined related antecedents and distal outcomes.Methods Past 30-day cannabis users aged 18–26, both medical cannabis patients and non-patients, were enrolled in Los Angeles in 2014–2015. A latent class analysis was used to identi…
Overdose response among trained and untrained women with a history of illicit drug use
Little is known about differences in bystander behavior among people who use drugs, trained and untrained in opioid overdose prevention. We examined three types of recommended overdose response - a 911 call, rescue breathing/CPR, and naloxone administration-among Philadelphia-based, predominantly street-involved women with a history of illicit drug use. The study utilized a convergent mixed methods approach integrating data from 186 quantitative …
From Victimization to Restoration
In 2000, the United States (U.S.) enacted the Trafficking Victims Protection Act, a law that defined Human Trafficking (HT). Between 2000 and 2019, every state has enacted laws criminalizing HT. In 2015, the U.S. government encouraged health-care providers to gain awareness of this issue and utilize identification protocols to screen and assist HT patient-victims. Although HT became part of the health-care discourse, few states have enacted laws …
A vicious cycle of neuropathological, cognitive and behavioural sequelae of repeated opioid overdose
Decision-making by laypersons equipped with an emergency response smartphone app for opioid overdose
Changes in Medical Cannabis Patient Status before and after Cannabis Legalization in California
It is unknown how patterns of cannabis and other drug use changed among young adult cannabis users as they became, exited or stayed medical cannabis patients (MCPs) after California legalized cannabis for adult use in 2016. A cohort of 18–26 year-old cannabis users was recruited in Los Angeles in 2014–15 (64.8% male; 44.1% Hispanic/Latinx). Based on wave 1 (pre-legalization) and wave 4 (post-legalization) MCP status, four transition groups emerge…
Circumstances of overdose among street-involved, opioid-injecting women
Sex Trafficking Victims at Their Junction with the Healthcare Setting-A Mixed-Methods Inquiry
U.S.-born citizens are victims of human trafficking typically exploited through sex trafficking. At least some of them interact with healthcare providers during their trafficking experience; yet a majority goes unidentified. Although protocols and training guides exist, healthcare providers often do not have the necessary skills to identify and assist victims of sex trafficking. Understanding where victims seek care and barriers for disclosure ar…
