Resilience to Stigma in Medical, Social, and Employment Contexts Among People Who Inject Drugs in Rural Ohio
People who inject drugs (PWID) experience stigma related to drug use and HIV prevention, which can impede engagement with the HIV prevention continuum. Resilience may buffer against stigma's harmful effects, but limited research has examined how resilience operates across different social contexts and stigma types among PWID. Using qualitative interviews and cognitive interviews, we adapted the 10-item Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale to measure …

Barriers to accessing medications for opioid use disorder among rural individuals
Access barriers vary by MOUD type for rural individuals with OUD. Compared to sublingual buprenorphine, methadone access was hindered more by transportation difficulties, while injectable long-acting buprenorphine was hindered more by affordability and finding a doctor or program. These barriers highlight the need to de-regulate and expand locations for methadone access and prescribing, and to improve affordability and prescriber uptake of newer …

Barriers to opioid use disorder treatment among people who use drugs in the rural United States
Positive contact and empathy as predictors of primary care providers’ willingness to prescribe medications for opioid use disorder
Introduction: Patients with opioid use disorder (OUD) have a heightened need for quality health care, including access to evidence-based medications to reduce cravings and prevent overdose. However, primary care providers (PCPs) are reluctant to work with patients with OUD and implement medication prescribing into primary care practice. Previous studies have sought to identify potential ways to overcome these barriers, but often utilize intervent…
Champion and audit and feedback strategy fidelity and their relationship to depression intervention fidelity
Background: Globally, mental health disorders rank as the greatest cause of disability. Low and middle-income countries (LMICs) hold a disproportionate share of the mental health burden, especially as it pertains to depression. Depression is highly prevalent among those with non-communicable diseases (NCDs), creating a barrier to successful treatment. While some treatments have proven efficacy in LMIC settings, wide dissemination is challenged by…
