Miaisha M Mitchell, Mary M Mitchell et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2016
Chronic pain and substance use can strain the supportive relationships of persons with serious chronic illness, which may increase the likelihood of receiving negative, rather than positive, social support from informal caregivers and social network members. To our knowledge, this is the first study to longitudinally examine the effects of chronic pain and substance use on negative social support. The sample (N = 383) comprised disadvantaged, pri…

Preferences for professional versus informal care at end of life amongst African-American drug users with HIV/Aids
Miaisha M Mitchell, Mary M Mitchell et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2015
With the advent of antiretroviral therapies, persons living with HIV/AIDS (PLHIVs) are living longer but with increased impairment and care needs. The purpose of this study was to assess whether a vulnerable population of PLHIVs preferred informal versus professional care when unable to care for themselves, and individual and support network factors associated with preference for informal care. The findings have potential implications for facilit…
Latent growth curve analyses of emotional support for informal caregivers of vulnerable persons with HIV/Aids

Research suggests that social support, including care recipients' reciprocity of emotional support, is important to sustained caregiving. This study examined HIV caregivers…
