The ‘end of Aids’ project: Mobilising evidence, bureaucracy, and big data for a final biomedical triumph over Aids
Efforts are currently underway by major orchestrators and funders of the global AIDS response to realise the vision of achieving an end to AIDS by 2030. Unlike previous efforts to provide policy guidance or to encourage 'best practice' approaches for combatting AIDS, the end of AIDS project involves the promotion of a clear set of targets, tools, and interventions for a final biomedical solution to the epidemic. In this paper, we examine the bure…
Methodological Challenges in Club Drug Research
In January of 2000, the lead author was hired to join a research project funded by the National Institute on Drug Abuse, called "Pathways to High Risk Drug Use in Urban Youth" to investigate the rapidly increasing use of so-called "club drugs" such as Ecstasy, by inner city youth in Hartford, CT. Based especially on the project work of the lead author, and presented as "an ethnography of one ethnographer's experience," this paper outlines the met…
The Challenges of Street Research on Drug Use, Violence, and Aids Risk
Violence is a regular and consequential event in the lives of street drug users, commonly beginning at an early age and continuing throughout their drug careers. Growing evidence indicates that involvement in violence, of various kinds, including as victim, perpetrator, and witness, is a factor in the initiation and continuation of drug use, as well as in AIDS risk behaviours associated with illicit drug consumption. As a result, improving our un…
The high, the money, and the fame: The emergent social context of "new marijuana" use among urban youth
This paper describes cultural factors associated with the use of high-potency marijuana among inner-city youth in a midsized northeastern city. While high-potency marijuana has been available and used nationally for over a decade, surveys of drug use do not include items on what "new marijuana" contains and how and under what circumstances it is used. Few studies of marijuana use have been conducted in recent years. This paper, based on ongoing e…
