Open AccessKaren A Alexander, Karen Alexander et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Psychiatry2025
This project will inform the ancillary content of methadone maintenance treatment for the many patients with substance use disorders that extend beyond opioids, specifically for those who use cocaine. The study's design will provide scientifically valid information about the effectiveness of digitally delivered CM, while app usage data and qualitative data from participants will be a rich resource for interpreting outcome results. CM is the only …

Social Networks and Exchange Sex among Transgender Women
Anne E Fehrenbacher, Jesse B Fletcher et al.ARTICLEThe Journal of Sex Research2021References: 3
Transgender women are more likely to exchange sex than cisgender individuals. This study investigated how social networks were associated with exchange sex among transgender women in Los Angeles County. From July 2015 to September 2016, transgender women (N = 271; "egos") reported their sexual and substance use behaviors and perceptions of the same behaviors among their peers (N = 2,619; "alters"). Clustered logistic and negative binomial regress…
Depression and HIV transmission risk among methamphetamine-using men who have sex with men
Jesse B Fletcher, Katherine Ann Clark et al.ARTICLEAddiction Research & Theory2020
Methamphetamine use among participants in this study inverted the functional form of the relationship between depression and sexual risk among MSM observed in prior studies. Whereas low-grade depression has been associated with increased sexual risk-taking in prior samples of MSM, methamphetamine upends this relationship, such that the greatest engagement in sexual risk-taking occurred among those diagnosed with MDE at baseline. Additional resear…

Mental Health and Substance Use Disorder Comorbidity among Methamphetamine-Using Men Who have Sex with Men
Jesse B Fletcher, Dallas Swendeman et al.ARTICLEJournal of Psychoactive Drugs2018
Men who have sex with men (MSM) exhibit elevated rates of mental health and substance use disorder relative to their non-MSM male counterparts. Methamphetamine use in particular has been associated with both neuronal damage and mental health disorders among MSM, and this study reports on the prevalence and comorbidity of DSM-5 mental health and substance use disorders in a sample of methamphetamine-using MSM. From March 2014 through January 2015,…

Reflections on Public Sociology
David Boyns, Jesse B Fletcher et al.CHAPTERPublic Sociology2017
The emergence of Michael Burawoy's public sociology raises a single, overarching question: Why is there a perceived need for an institutionalized public sociology within the discipline? Burawoy's answer is tied to an issue raised by Turner and Turner in their historical examination of the institutionalization of sociology. This chapter examines sociology's problem of public relations by exploring the development of public sociology with respect t…

Outcomes from a homegrown HIV prevention program for extremely high-risk, substance-using men who have sex with men with multiple health disparities
Cathy J Reback, Jesse B FletcherARTICLEJournal of Gay & Lesbian Social…2017Cited by: 1References: 2
From February 2010 through December 2014, 585 substance-using men who have sex with men (MSM) were enrolled into a “homegrown” risk reduction intervention. Participants evidenced significant iterative factor reductions in the odds of substance use including alcohol (AOR = 0.79) and marijuana (AOR = 0.78; both p ≤ 0.05) and marginally significant reductions in the odds of methamphetamine use (AOR = 0.83; p ≤ 0.07). Participants also evidenced sign…

Despite disproportionately high HIV prevalence rates and high risk for HIV acquisition and transmission, trans women in the United States are less likely than other high-risk populations to be aware of their HIV status or to perceive HIV infection as a serious health threat. Furthermore, concurrently high rates of unstable housing, few legal employment opportunities, lack of social support, and distrust of social service providers limit trans wom…
Associations Between Sexual Abuse and Negative Health Consequences Among High-Risk Men Who Have Sex with Men
Joshua A Rusow, Jesse B Fletcher et al.ARTICLEJournal of Gay & Lesbian Social…2014Cited by: 1References: 2
This study evaluated whether a history of sexual abuse could differentiate negative health consequences among men who have sex with men (MSM; N=148) enrolled in a risk counseling program. Over half (51.4%) reported an experience of sexual abuse. A history of sexual abuse was associated with increased psychological distress, increased rates of alcohol (AOR = 2.91; p < .01) and/or drug abuse (AOR = 2; p < .01) treatment, increased risk of housing i…

This paper presents a simulation of world-systems theory’s iteration model of early human societies. The polities modeled are composed of sedentary foragers and/or simple horticulturalists that rely upon basic subsistence technologies and display low levels of internal differentiation. World-systems theory’s iteration model integrates several processes of demographic regulation: environmental constraints, migration, intra-polity conflict, and int…

Collins’ recent theory on battle dynamics is converted into a system of interconnected equations and simulated. Between evenly matched armies, initial advantages are shown to be difficult to overcome due to the numerous reinforcing pathways throughout the model. Morale advantages are shown to lead to quick victories, while material advantages lead to longer wars often won through attrition. A simulation of the Civil War is provided that appears t…
