  • Public Perceptions of Corporate Position-Taking on Abortion and Transgender Rights

    Wayde Z C Marsh, James A Peterson et al.ARTICLEThe Journal of Politics2025Cited by: 1References: 10

    Corporations regularly express preferences on questions of public policy. This can occur through costly actions like lobbying public officials, contributing money to candidates, and engaging in litigation. One less costly way of expressing policy preferences is by issuing statements of support for or in opposition to a given policy or government practice. In this article, we examine public perceptions of corporate position-taking to determine the…

    While the past two decades have seen rapid advances in research demonstrating links between environmental health and reproductive capacity, African American men have largely been overlooked as study participants. To give voice to the perceptions of urban African American men, the present qualitative study conducted focus groups of men recruited from street- and internet-based advertisements in Washington, DC. Participants were asked for their per…

  • Disparities in achieving and sustaining viral suppression among a large cohort of HIV-infected persons in care – Washington, DC

    Amanda D Castel, Mariah M Kalmin et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2016

    One goal of the HIV care continuum is achieving viral suppression (VS), yet disparities in suppression exist among subpopulations of HIV-infected persons. We sought to identify disparities in both the ability to achieve and sustain VS among an urban cohort of HIV-infected persons in care. Data from HIV-infected persons enrolled at the 13 DC Cohort study clinical sites between January 2011 and June 2014 were analyzed. Univariate and multivariate l…

    G Phillips, James A Peterson et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2011

    Transgender persons and young men of color who have sex with men (YMSM of color) have been severely affected by HIV in the USA. Houses and balls in the USA have historically been a primary meeting ground for YMSM of color and transgender people, offering an opportunity for HIV prevention activities. Houses provide a familial structure for YMSM of color and transgender people, while balls provide them with events at which they can congregate for s…

  • Redefining Retention

    Shannon Gwin Mitchell, Rika Morioka et al.ARTICLEJournal of Psychoactive Drugs2011

    This study examines the process of discharge and treatment reentry for six participants who entered treatment voluntarily but were administratively discharged from methadone treatment programs. The participants completed semistructured interviews at treatment entry and at four, eight and 12 months post-treatment entry. Grounded theory methodology was used to examine the phenomenon of treatment reentry from the perspective of the patients, who oft…

  • Premature Discharge from Methadone Treatment

    Heather Schacht Reisinger, Robert P Schwartz et al.ARTICLEJournal of Psychoactive Drugs2009

    Longer retention in drug abuse treatment is associated with better patient outcomes, and research indicates the first 12 months of methadone treatment are critical to patient success. Nevertheless, large-scale multisite longitudinal studies over the past three decades indicate that the majority of patients drop out during the first year of methadone treatment. Through an examination of 42 qualitative interviews with patients prematurely discharge…

  • Incarceration and Opioid Withdrawal

    Shannon Gwin Mitchell, Sharon M Kelly et al.ARTICLEJournal of Psychoactive Drugs2009

    Both heroin-addicted individuals and methadone maintenance patients are likely to face untreated opioid withdrawal while incarcerated. Limited research exists concerning the withdrawal experiences of addicted inmates and their impact on individuals' attitudes and plans concerning drug abuse treatment. In the present study, 53 opioid dependent adults (32 in methadone treatment and 21 out of treatment) were interviewed in an ethnographic investigat…

  • Targeted Sampling in Drug Abuse Research

    Open AccessJames A Peterson, Heather Schacht Reisinger et al.ARTICLECAM2008

    Locating and recruiting out-of-treatment drug-dependent individuals for inclusion in research studies are important and challenging tasks. Targeted sampling, a technique to reach such populations, has been described in the substance abuse literature. However, this literature has generally lacked a recent detailed account of the procedures for planning and implementing targeted sampling. This article provides a review of the literature of targeted…

  • Getting clean and harm reduction

    Open AccessJames A Peterson, James Peterson et al.ARTICLECadernos de Saude Publica2006References: 7

    Many contemporary HIV prevention interventions targeting injection drug users (IDUs) have been implemented using Harm Reduction as a theoretical framework. Among drug-using individuals, however, the abstinence-based "getting clean" models espoused by Narcotics Anonymous and other widely adopted approaches to drug treatment are often more readily accepted. This paper describes an ethnographic examination of the ideological dichotomy between Harm R…

  • The Impact of Drug Use on Perceptions of Credibility in Indigenous Outreach Workers

    Open AccessShannon Gwin Mitchell, James A Peterson et al.ARTICLEQualitative Health Research2006Cited by: 1References: 21

    The authors conducted an investigation of perceptions of outreach worker credibility using the social network members (N = 20) of indigenous outreach workers in an HIV/AIDS prevention intervention. The network members included in the study received semistructured interviews following the program's completion. Outreach workers who were not actively using illicit drugs were more likely to be described as credible than were those who were using drug…

  • Deglaciation of the Whitegull Lake Area, Labrador-Ungava

    James A PetersonARTICLECahiers de géographie du Québec2005Cited by: 3

    Les diverses étapes de la glaciation et de la déglaciation de la région du lac Whitegull sont l'objet de cet article. Au cours de la période de déglaciation, de longs eskers d'une hauteur de plus de 50 pieds, avec des pentes atteignant 35°, furent construits par les eaux de fusion sous-glaciaires ; par la suite plusieurs lacs de barrage glaciaire se formèrent, dont on peut déterminer l'extension grâce à des vestiges bien conservés d'anciennes for…

  • Ethnographic Process Evaluation

    Open AccessYan Hong, Shannon Gwin Mitchell et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of…2005Cited by: 6References: 14

    This study demonstrates an ethnographically critically informed process evaluation of piloting an HIV intervention program targeting injection drug users. The authors used systematic ethnographic methods to identify and evaluate the factors that facilitated or inhibited message diffusion. Findings indicated that communication patterns and strategies advocated in training sessions did not translate immediately into the outreach encounter in the dr…
