Surviving the 2021 heat dome with schizophrenia
Assimilation as Abjection in Franz Kafka’s “Ein Bericht für eine Akademie”
In detailing the cultural techniques required for his behavioral transition from ape to human following capture, Franz Kafka’s Rotpeter addresses not just physical but also cultural differences between apes and humans. The report can be interpreted as a satirical allegory of Jewish assimilation, a commentary that echoes Jay Geller’s notion of the “hierarchical differentiations that characterize antisemitism” (26). Although clothed, Rotpeter retai…
Responding to the Heat and Planning for the Future
People with schizophrenia have died at disproportionately higher rates during recent extreme heat events (EHEs) in Canada, including the deadly 2021 Heat Dome in British Columbia (B.C.). However, to date, little research has qualitatively focused on how people with schizophrenia experience and respond to EHEs. This study aimed to (i) explore how people with schizophrenia experienced and were impacted by the 2021 Heat Dome physically, cognitively,…
Substance of choice, impact of heroin or opium on treatment retention in a multicentre randomised controlled trial in Iran
Changes in Loss Sensitivity During Treatment in Concurrent Disorders Inpatients
This is the first study to assess a computational model of decision-making in the context of treatment for concurrent disorders. Patients were more impulsive and slower to deliberate choice than controls. While both traditional and computational outcomes predicted treatment adherence in patients, findings suggest computational methods are able to capture treatment-sensitive aspects of decision-making not accessible via traditional methods. Furthe…
Developing A Rapid Transfer from Opioid Full Agonist to Buprenorphine
Buprenorphine/naloxone has been shown to be effective for treating opioid use disorder (OUD). However, the traditional method of induction requires a patient to be in moderate-to-severe withdrawal, which is challenging, time-consuming, and a common reason for leaving against medical advice. Induction strategies that minimize the severity and duration of patient discomfort while enabling patients to reach therapeutic doses during short hospital ad…
Chronic Pain among Individuals Experiencing Homelessness and Its Interdependence with Opioid and Other Substance Use and Mental Illness
Chronic pain and substance use disorders are serious conditions that are prevalent among homeless populations. The aim of this study was to examine the association between chronic pain and substance use among individuals experiencing homelessness and mental illness. We analyzed cross-sectional data from two sites of the At Home/Chez Soi study (Vancouver and Toronto) using bivariate statistics and multivariate logistic regression. Substance use an…
Housing Stability and Neurocognitive Functioning in Homeless Adults With Mental Illness
Objective: This study examined the association of housing stability with neurocognitive outcomes of a well-characterized sample of homeless adults with mental illness over 18 months and sought to identify demographic and clinical variables associated with changes in neurocognitive functioning. Method: A total of 902 participants in the At Home/Chez Soi study completed neuropsychological measures 6 and 24 months after study enrollment to assess ne…
Substance Dependence Among Bipolar, Unipolar Depression and Psychotic Homeless
Introduction: Homeless individuals are often mischaracterized as members of a homogeneous population that suffers from a wide mental health and addiction issues, with little consideration of potentially important differences within or between samples. The aim of the present study was to investigate the comorbidy of alcohol and/or substance dependence (ASD) and major psychiatric diagnoses (bipolar disorder, unipolar depression, and psychotic disor…
The Clinical Concept of Opioid Addiction Since 1877
In 1877, the psychiatrist Edward Levinstein authored the first monograph on opioid addiction. The prevalence of opioid addiction prior to his publication had risen in several countries including England, France and Germany. He was the first to call it an illness, but doubted that it was a mental illness because the impairment of volition appeared to be restricted to opioid use: it was not pervasive, since it did not extend to other aspects of the…
Association of Substance Use Patterns with Psychiatric Disorders in Homeless Persons with Psychiatric Disorders in Vancouver
Employment and paid work among participants in a randomized controlled trial comparing diacetylmorphine and hydromorphone
Predictors of Mental Health Recovery in Homeless Adults with Mental Illness
Effect of Scattered-Site Housing Using Rent Supplements and Intensive Case Management on Housing Stability Among Homeless Adults With Mental Illness
Importance Scattered-site housing with Intensive Case Management (ICM) may be an appropriate and less-costly option for homeless adults with mental illness who do not require the treatment intensity of Assertive Community Treatment. Objective To examine the effect of scattered-site housing with ICM services on housing stability and generic quality of life among homeless adults with mental illness and moderate support needs for mental health servi…
Homeless and incarcerated
BACKGROUND: Incarceration and homelessness are closely related yet studied rarely. This article aimed to study the incarcerated homeless and identify specific vulnerabilities, which rendered them different from the nonincarcerated homeless. It also aimed to describe the homeless population and its significant involvement with the criminal justice and enforcement system. METHODS: Data were derived from the British Columbia Health of the Homeless S…
Degree of acculturation and the risk of crack cocaine smoking among Hispanic Americans
Epidemiologic data from three national surveys conducted in 1988, 1990, and 1991 were used to investigate the association between acculturation and use of crack cocaine among Hispanic Americans living in the United States. Poststratification and conditional logistic regression were used to hold constant shared aspects of neighborhood environment, age, sex, and education. The analyses showed a strong inverse relationship between degree of accultur…
