Smoking Behavior and Wellness among Individuals in Substance Use Disorder Treatment
Tobacco-related morbidity and mortality disproportionately affect people with substance use disorders (SUD). Encouraging overall wellness may support tobacco use cessation. We investigated relationships between wellness (health status, physical activity, sugar-sweetened beverage (SSB) consumption), cigarette smoking, and smoking cessation among SUD treatment patients to inform clinical care. Cross-sectional surveys were conducted with 395 patient…
Racial/Ethnic Differences in Tobacco Use and Cessation Services among Individuals in Substance Use Treatment
Few studies explore racial/ethnic disparities in tobacco use and access to cessation services among people with substance use disorders (SUD). We collected data from Hispanics ( n = 255), non-Hispanic Whites ( n = 195), and non-Hispanic Blacks ( n = 126) across 24 Californian residential SUD treatment programs. Data were analyzed via regression models adjusting for demographics, cigarettes per day, past quit attempts, intent to quit in the next 3…
Place management in off-premise alcohol outlets: Results of a multi-methods study in a six-city California area
Impacts of alcohol availability on Tribal lands where alcohol is prohibited: A community-partnered qualitative investigation
Ethnographic research in immigrant-specific drug abuse recovery houses
Access to study populations is a major concern for drug use and treatment researchers. Spaces related to drug use and treatment have varying levels of researcher accessibility based on several issues, including legality, public versus private settings, and insider/outsider status. Ethnographic research methods are indispensable for gaining and maintaining access to hidden or "hard-to-reach" populations. Here, we discuss our long-term ethnographic…
Using photovoice to develop critical awareness of tobacco environments for marginalized youth in California
Photovoice is used widely for engaging community members in action research aimed at reducing health inequities. Photovoice methodology can help to raise participants’ critical awareness regarding the root causes of community health problems, thereby encouraging them to take action to address these root causes. We report on our experiences using photovoice as part of a tobacco prevention project with multiethnic youths in an underresourced Northe…
Sociopolitical contexts for addiction recovery: Anexos in U.S. Latino communities
Predictors of Tobacco Use Among New York State Addiction Treatment Patients
Objectives. We used admissions data from the New York State addiction treatment system to assess patient self-reported tobacco use and factors associated with tobacco use. Methods. We compared prevalence of tobacco use in the state addiction treatment system with that of a national sample of people receiving addiction treatment and with that of the New York general population in 2005 to 2008. A random effects logistic model assessed relationships…
Barriers to Drug Abuse Treatment for Latino Migrants: Treatment Providers’ Perspectives
This article disseminates findings from a pilot study undertaken to learn more about treatment providers' perceptions of treatment access barriers faced by Latino migrants with substance use disorders (SUDs) in Northern California. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with treatment providers (N = 11) at 7 residential treatment programs with Spanish-language services. Interviewees identified and described three primary types of treatment bar…
Emerging Perspectives on Substance Misuse
Everyday Narratives on Race and Health in Brazil
In 2006, Brazil approved a groundbreaking policy aimed at reducing significant racial health inequalities among its citizens. Like health disparities programs in the United States, Brazil's policy is based on the assumptions that racial identity and racism are important health determinants and that citizens who identify as "black" suffer disproportionately from a number of health problems. How do these assumptions compare to Brazilian citizens' c…
Afro-Brazilian Religions and Ethnic Identity Politics in the Brazilian Public Health Arena
In this article, I examine the ways in which health activists from Afro-Brazilian religions deploy ethnic identity politics within the Brazilian public health arena to gain recognition and respect for their beliefs and practices, as well as public health goods for their communities. I also discuss the creation and enactment of “culturally competent” healthcare initiatives for members of Afro-Brazilian religions. Finally, I examine the tension bet…
