Supporting linkage facilitators working with persons with opioid use disorder
This narrative review explores the evolving role of linkage facilitation (LF) in supporting persons with opioid use disorder (OUD) including both the organizational strategies to initiate and sustain LF services and strategies to support the LF workforce. Drawing on expert consensus and iterative review by an interdisciplinary author team, we synthesized relevant literature from diverse fields using a narrative review approach. Organizational str…
Monitoring Motivational Interviewing Strategies
BACKGROUND: Motivational interviewing (MI) is an evidence-based practice that has been successfully applied to at-risk youth. Well-validated measures that track MI integrity may not be used in practice settings due to the time to complete them, recording requirements and training involved. A simpler, less resource-intensive instrument may encourage programs and providers to attend more to the quality of MI use during implementation. PURPOSE: To v…
Prison or treatment? Gender, racial, and ethnic inequities in mental health care utilization and criminal justice history among incarcerated persons with borderline and antisocial personality disorder…
OBJECTIVE: Borderline and antisocial personality disorders are characterized by pervasive psychosocial impairment, disproportionate criminal justice involvement, and high mental health care utilization. Although some evidence suggests that systemic bias may contribute to demographic inequities in criminal justice and mental health care among persons experiencing these mental health conditions, no research to date has explicitly examined such diff…
Linkage facilitation for opioid use disorder in criminal legal system contexts
At the intersection of drug policy, the opioid crisis, and fragmented care systems, persons with opioid use disorder (OUD) in the United States are significantly vulnerable to contact with the criminal legal system (CLS). In CLS settings, provision of evidence-based treatment for OUD is variable and often secondary to punitive approaches. Linkage facilitation at every touch point along the CLS Sequential Intercept Model has potential to redirect …
Influence of Posttraumatic Stress Disorder Severity on Return to Substance Use Immediately Following Residential Substance Use Treatment
The period immediately following residential substance use disorder (SUD) treatment is characterized by high rates of return to substance use. Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is highly prevalent among individuals in residential SUD treatment and is a primary motive for substance use among individuals with co-occurring PTSD and SUD. Addressing important gaps in the literature, the current study examined the role of PTSD severity on days of su…
Screening, Brief Intervention and Referral to Treatment (SBIRT)
Risky substance use can lead to a variety of negative health outcomes, yet treatment is often underutilized by historically minoritized racial/ethnic groups. Screening, Brief Intervention and Referral to Treatment (SBIRT) is effective in changing substance use patterns across diverse settings and for diverse demographic groups. However, few studies have focused on whether individuals receive the appropriate level of care based on screening criter…
Experiences of Discrimination and Alcohol Involvement Among Young Adults at the Intersection of Race/Ethnicity and Gender
Although discrimination is an important social determinant of alcohol involvement, there is a dearth of research testing these associations across race/ethnicity and gender. This is an important research gap given that experiences of discrimination and therefore links with alcohol involvement may vary as a function race/ethnicity and gender intersectional identities. We tested for measurement invariance in discrimination and alcohol involvement a…

Intimate violence as it relates to risky sexual behavior among at-risk females
Contrary to expectations, PTSD may act to reduce risk perhaps by reducing interest in sex. It is important to address victimization, PTSD, and sexual risk in young women. More work is needed to understand these complex relationships using longitudinal designs. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2018 APA, all rights reserved)
Facebook addiction and impulsive decision-making
Introduction: This study examined the relationship between Facebook ‘addiction’ and impulsive decision-making. Impulsive decision-making, as measured by the delay discounting task, is associated with a number of addictions and other problem behaviors. Methods: We gave 75 students a paper-based packet including the Bergen Facebook Addiction Scale to measure Facebook addiction and a delay discounting task to assess one facet of impulsivity, impulsi…
Changes in Depression and Stress after Release from a Tobacco-Free Prison in the United States
Prior research has found high levels of depression and stress among persons who are incarcerated in the United States (U.S.). However, little is known about changes in depression and stress levels among inmates post-incarceration. The aim of this study was to examine changes in levels of depression and stress during and after incarceration in a tobacco-free facility. Questionnaires that included valid and reliable measures of depression and stres…
Do Bisexual Girls Report Higher Rates of Substance Use than Heterosexual Girls? A Failure to Replicate with Incarcerated and Detained Youth
Prior research suggests that sexual minority females, particularly bisexuals, report greater rates of substance use than heterosexuals. However, to our knowledge, no study has compared alcohol/drug use between bisexual and heterosexual incarcerated or detained female youth. The current study pools data from three prior treatment studies with incarcerated or detained adolescent girls that self-identify as bisexual or heterosexual ( N =86). Hierarc…
A cluster randomized trial of an organizational process improvement intervention for improving the assessment and case planning of offenders
BACKGROUND: The Organizational Process Improvement Intervention (OPII), conducted by the NIDA-funded Criminal Justice Drug Abuse Treatment Studies consortium of nine research centers, examined an organizational intervention to improve the processes used in correctional settings to assess substance abusing offenders, develop case plans, transfer this information to community-based treatment agencies, and monitor the services provided by these comm…
The Health of an Urban Community
Present-day society urgently needs reliable measures, both local and national, of the health of the people.Declines in death rates undoubtedly indicate great improvements in public health in terms of survival, but do not necessarily represent equal declines in the numbers of the sick and the magnitude of their needs.More precise knowledge is needed of ailments and diseases in specific communities, as a factual basis to administer present services…
