“Convenience, Quickness, and Compassion”
BACKGROUND: This study aimed to explore the experiences of people diagnosed with opioid use disorder (OUD) and recently involved with the criminal-legal system (CLS) as they received addiction treatment services from a Mobile Medications for Opioid Use Disorder (MOUD) programme in Chicago. By assessing perceptions and satisfaction with receiving addiction treatment and additional wraparound services, including factors influencing care-seeking dec…
Stronger, longer, better opioid antagonists? Nalmefene is NOT a naloxone replacement
The fatal overdose crisis claims nearly 200 lives daily in the United States (U.S). Evolutions in the illicit drug supply, such as the addition of sedative adulterants and a shift to synthetic opioids such as fentanyl, have driven increasing rates of both fatal and non-fatal overdose. Specifically, synthetic opioid usage of fentanyl was implicated in 68 % of the U.S. drug overdose deaths in 2022 alone. This has placed tremendous burden on communi…
Syringe service program-based telemedicine linkage to opioid use disorder treatment
ClinicalTrials.gov (Clinical Trials ID: NCT04575324 and Protocol Number: 1138-0420). Registered 29 September 2020. The study protocol is also registered on the Open Science Framework (DOI 10.17605/OSF.IO/4853 M)
Community Wound Care Program Within a Syringe Exchange Program
People who inject drugs (PWID) are at increased risk for developing wounds in addition to skin and soft tissue infections. The University of Illinois at Chicago College of Nursing, College of Medicine, and School of Public Health collaborated to establish a medical clinic serving PWID attending a Chicago syringe exchange program. A wound care program was implemented to improve clinicians’ competence. During October 2018 to August 2019, 24% of all…
The Normalization of Childhood Disease
Guatemala has one of the highest rates of child stunting in the world; the indigenous Maya population, who constitute a majority, are disproportionately affected in comparison to the general population. Nevertheless, research on the social dynamics of malnutrition in Maya communities is lacking. To address this deficiency, we present here an ethnographic study of caregivers' experiences of child malnutrition in two rural indigenous towns, supplem…
