Exploring placemaking in Boston's low-threshold transitional housing locations
The co-occurring housing and opioid crises require innovative solutions. • Harm reduction housing offers low-barrier care to people who use drugs. • Residents use placemaking to legitimatize rights to permanent housing
Rapid Assessment Amid an Injection Drug Use-Driven HIV Outbreak in Massachusetts’ Merrimack Valley: Highlights from a Case Study
Illicitly manufactured fentanyl within the drug supply has substantially increased opioid-related overdose deaths and driven infectious disease outbreaks among people who use drugs (PWUD). Local jurisdictions often lack the data and tools necessary to detect and translate such moments into actionable and effective responses. Informed by a risk environment framework, this case study adopted a mixed-methods design spanning two rapid assessment stud…

Access to syringes for HIV prevention for injection drug users in St. Petersburg, Russia: Syringe purchase test study
Trainings for pharmacists need to be conducted to reduce negative attitudes towards IDUs and increase pharmacists' willingness to sell syringes. At a structural level, access to safe injection supplies for IDUs could be increased by including syringes in the federal list of mandatory medical products sold by pharmacies
Questioning Assumptions about Race, Social Class and Crime Portrayal: An Analysis of Ten Years of Law and Order
Social researchers have paid significant interest to the portrayal of non-whites and members of the lower classes in both news broadcasts and the fictional crime drama. They have also explored whether social programming uses educational entertainment to positively sway public opinion or as propaganda to support the status quo. Little has been done recently to determine the representation of intra- versus interracial crime in the crime drama. Also…

Preexposure Antiretroviral Prophylaxis Attitudes in High-Risk Boston Area Men Who Report Having Sex With Men: Limited Knowledge and Experience but Potential for Increased Utilization After Education
BACKGROUND: Preexposure prophylaxis (PrEP) could protect individuals engaging in repeated high-risk behaviors from HIV infection. Understanding the demographic and behavioral predictors of intent-to-use PrEP may prove useful to identify clinical trial participants. METHODS: In 2007, 227 HIV-uninfected men who report having sex with men (MSM) recruited through modified respondent-driven sampling completed an interviewer-administered survey assessi…
Polydrug Use among IDUs in Tijuana, Mexico: Correlates of Methamphetamine Use and Route of Administration by Gender
Tijuana is situated on the Mexico-USA border adjacent to San Diego, CA, on a major drug trafficking route. Increased methamphetamine trafficking in recent years has created a local consumption market. We examined factors associated with methamphetamine use and routes of administration by gender among injection drug users (IDUs). From 2006-2007, IDUs > or =18 years old in Tijuana were recruited using respondent-driven sampling, interviewed, and te…

At the Borders, on the Edge: Use of Injected Methamphetamine in Tijuana and Ciudad Juarez, Mexico
Trends in Production, Trafficking, and Consumption of Methamphetamine and Cocaine in Mexico
Over the past decade, Mexico has experienced a significant increase in trafficking of cocaine and trafficking and production of methamphetamine. An estimated 70% of United States cocaine originating in South America passes through the Central America-Mexico corridor. Mexico-based groups are now believed to control 70%-90% of methamphetamine production and distribution in the United States. Increased availability of these drugs at reduced prices h…

Social Opportunity in the Face of Cancer: Understanding the Burden of the Extended Caregiver Network
Over the past few decades, cancer-related research has begun to focus on the psychological and social costs of disease. Quality of life has become an important issue, judged not only by absence of disease, but also by how satisfied the patient is with their day-to-day living. Despite this growing body of literature, there remains a considerable gap in understanding how far-reaching the social costs of cancer actually are. This study was designed …

Exploring an HIV Paradox: An Ethnography of Sexual Minority Women Injectors
HIV risk and infection are markedly increased among sexual minority women injectors compared to other injecting drug users. Our ethnographic exploration of this well-documented but poorly understood phenomenon included 270 interviews and over 350 field observations with 65 sexual minority women injectors in New York City and Boston. We discuss findings in relation to four preliminary hypotheses. Neither the presence of gay or bisexual men in risk…
HIV Prevalence, Risk Behaviors, and High-Risk Sexual and Injection Networks Among Young Women Injectors Who Have Sex With Women
Women injection drug users who have sex with women (WSW IDUs) constitute 20% to 30% of American women IDUs.1 Compared with other women IDUs, WSW IDUs have higher HIV prevalence and incidence rates and a greater likelihood of engaging in high-risk injection and sexual practices with men.1–16 Previous reports suggested that WSW IDUs may be particularly likely to engage in drug injection and sex with men who have sex with men (MSM)1,2,5,6,9,17–19 an…
Aids prevention for intravenous drug users in the community: Street‐based education and risk behavior
Conducted a study of behavior change associated with a street-based AIDS education project targeted to intravenous (IV) drug users in San Francisco. Two cross-sections were sampled from drug detoxification clinics and street locations in 1986 (n = 438) and 1987 (n = 623). Significant increases were reported in the percentage of IV drug users who used bleach to decontaminate syringes, who did not share needles in past year, and in condom use. A si…

The Impact of Gender Role on Recovery from Bone Marrow Transplantation
Few works have looked at the social impact of surviving bone marrow transplantation, a highly invasive treatment that challenges social roles and relationships with social institutions. No work to date has looked at how gender role might affect recovery between men and women. Identifying how these factors influence recovery is essential if the medical community is to address all of the needs of the patient in the postrecovery setting. This articl…

Surviving Cancer and Family Costs: Examining the Needs of Spouses
Aggressive cancers are devastating diseases that leave fractured lives in their wake. Many of these cancers are treated with bone marrow transplantation (BMT), an option that can potentially cure one's cancer but may leave the patient with reduced functioning years after the cancer diagnosis ceases to be a threat. Most BMT research attention is focused on keeping the cancer patient alive. When the focus shifts to psychosocial inquiry, the patient…
Psychological Assessment and Aids Research with Intravenous Drug Users: Challenges in Measurement
The instruments used for psychological assessment have been under close scrutiny for many years. In particular, ethnic and racial minorities have pointed out that misapplication of instruments standardized to White middle-class norms can result in incorrect assessments. An analogous situation exists with IVDUs. In the work of the present authors with IVDUs, they were found to be a very diverse group. Contrary to common wisdom, they differ by race…

Estimation of the Prevalence of Injection Drug Use in Greater Boston in 1993
This article is a report on different methods of estimation of the number of injection drug users (IDUs) in the Boston standard metropolitan statistical area (SMSA) in 1993. Because the sharing of needles is a means of transmission for HIV, an estimate of the prevalence of injection drug use is essential for acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) prevention programs. The data for this study come from the Massachusetts Department of Public Heal…

Addressing the “Risk Environment” for Injection Drug Users: The Mysterious Case of the Missing Cop
Ecological models of the determinants of health and the consequent importance of structural interventions have been widely accepted, but using these models in research and practice has been challenging. Examining the role of criminal law enforcement in the “risk environment” of injection drug users (IDUs) provides an opportunity to apply structural thinking to the health problems associated with drug use. This article reviews international eviden…
