Using Point-in-Time Homeless Counts to Monitor Mortality Trends Among People Experiencing Homelessness in Los Angeles County, California, 2015‒2019
Objectives. To report trends in mortality rates, mortality rate ratios (MRRs), and causes of death among people experiencing homelessness (PEH) in Los Angeles County, California, by using annual point-in-time homeless counts and to compare findings to published longitudinal cohort studies of homeless mortality. Methods. We enumerated homeless deaths and determined causes by using 2015–2019 medical examiner‒coroner data matched to death certificat…
Process-of-Care Measures as Predictors of Client Outcome Among a Methamphetamine-Dependent Sample at 12- and 36-Month Follow-ups
This study examines the utility of several process-of-care performance measures (initiation, engagement, retention, and monitoring of drug use during treatment) as predictors of methamphetamine (MA) use outcomes at 12- and 36-month follow-ups. MA-dependent individuals (n = 871) participated in a randomized, controlled trial of outpatient psychosocial treatment from 1999-2002 and completed 12- and 36-month follow-up interviews. This sample include…
Applying Classification and Regression Tree Analysis to Identify Prisoners with High HIV Risk Behaviors
Among prisoners, past research has associated several factors with HIV risk behaviors, including illicit drug use, engaging in sex trade, older age (for drug-related risk), younger age (for sex-related risk), low education, low income, type of offense, history of abuse, mental health disorders, vulnerability and low self-perceived efficacy. This study employs data collected through the Transitional Case Management study of the Criminal Justice Dr…
The Persistence of HIV Risk Behaviors Among Methamphetamine-Using Offenders
Studies have shown that methamphetamine (MA) is rapidly becoming the drug of choice for a large number of substance-abusing offenders and is associated with significantly higher levels of HIV risk behaviors prior to their incarceration. Despite these findings, there has been little follow-up research to determine whether these patterns persist among recently paroled offenders after attendance in an in-prison treatment program. This study uses the…
Treatment Needs and Completion of Community-Based Aftercare Among Substance-Abusing Women Offenders
Contingency management for treatment of substance use disorders
Aims To examine the effectiveness of contingency management (CM) techniques in treating substance use disorders (i.e. illicit drugs, alcohol, tobacco). Design Meta‐analysis was used to determine the average effect size and potential moderators in 47 comparisons of the effectiveness of CM from studies based on a treatment–control group design and published between 1970 and 2002. Findings The mean effect size (ES) of CM was positive, with a magnitu…
Two-Year Outcomes of Treatment for Methamphetamine Use
While evaluation research supports the general effectiveness of substance abuse treatment, there is not a comprehensive literature on treatment effectiveness for methamphetamine (MA) use. The authors consider three outcome measures--MA use, criminal activity, and employment--compared across three periods: 24-months pretreatment, during treatment, and 24-months post-treatment. Data are from an intensive natural history interview conducted two to t…
Remittance Behavior among Salvadoran and Filipino Immigrants in Los Angeles
This study examines the practice of sending money to family members in their home countries (remittance behavior) among Filipinos and Salvadorans living and working in the United States. These subpopulations are among the largest and fastest-growing groups of Asian and Latin American immigrants to the US. Data were obtained from the 1991 Los Angeles Community Survey of 238 Filipinos and 383 Salvadorans concentrated in specific tracts. Among this …
Remittance Behavior among Salvadoran and Filipino Immigrants in Los Angeles
This article analyzes the factors that influence remittance behavior (the decision to remit and the amount sent) in the host country of Filipino and Salvadoran immigrants, two groups with high rates of U.S.-bound migration and of remittances. Data for this study come from a multipurpose survey fielded in Los Angeles in 1991 and are analyzed using logistic regressions and OLS. Individual characteristics and financial ability to remit, motivation t…
Welfare Background, Attitudes, and Employment among New Mothers
ARLEEN LEIBOWITZ University of California* JACOB ALEX KLERMAN RAND** This article investigates whether new mothers' chances of being employed appear to be influenced by an intergenerationally transmitted welfare culture. Data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth are analyzed using logit and ordinary least squares regression. The findings show that, as adolescents, new mothers with welfare backgrounds were more willing than others to use…
Geographic Distance and Contact Between Middle-aged Children and Their Parents
This research derives and tests hypotheses from two alternative conceptual models: the modified extended family model, and the changing family constraints model, which takes into account recent changes in work and family life. The hypotheses address social class differences in geographic distance and contact frequency between middle-aged children and their parents over time. Simultaneous probit models are used to analyze distance and contact as j…
