HIV-related Stigma and Alcohol Involvement Among People with HIV Who Engage in Unhealthy Drinking
Unhealthy alcohol use is linked to several adverse health outcomes among people with HIV (PWH). HIV-related stigma (HRS) has been identified as a potential risk factor for unhealthy drinking, but research has been limited, and findings have been equivocal. This cross-sectional study examined associations between HRS and alcohol-related indices in a national sample of PWH with unhealthy alcohol use enrolled in an intervention trial for one of two …
Chronic Pain and Cannabis Use Frequency, Intensity, and Severity in Young Adults
Background Cannabis use is common among young adults and is associated with many physical and mental health problems. Persons with chronic pain may be particularly susceptible to using cannabis at high rates, including for analgesic purposes, thus exposing themselves to greater risk of cannabis-related problems. However, little research has examined connections between chronic pain and cannabis use in the young adult population.Materials and Meth…
Health Care Service Utilization Among People with HIV, Chronic Pain, and Depression: Utilization and Cost Outcomes from the HIV-Pass Study
Anger and substance use in HIV-positive patients with chronic pain
Chronic pain increases the risk of substance use in people living with HIV (PLWH). Depression and anxiety have also been identified as risk factors for substance use among PLWH. Relatedly, other negative mood states, such as anger, may influence chronic pain among PLWH. The current cross-sectional study examined whether the distinct negative mood state of anger is associated with substance use among 187 PLWH who report chronic pain. Using negativ…
HIV-Pass (Pain and Sadness Support): Randomized Controlled Trial of a Behavioral Health Intervention for Interference Due to Pain in People Living With HIV, Chronic Pain, and Depression
OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to determine whether HIV-Pain and Sadness Support (HIV-PASS), a collaborative behavioral health intervention based on behavioral activation, is associated with decreased pain-related interference with daily activities, depression, and other outcomes in people living with HIV. METHODS: We conducted a three-site clinical trial ( n = 187) in which we randomly assigned participants to receive either HIV-PASS or health educ…
Strategies Used to Manage Chronic Pain in HIV-Disease: Comparing Persons Prescribed Opioids Versus Persons not Receiving Opioids
Acceptance of chronic pain in depressed patients with HIV: Correlations with activity, functioning, and emotional distress
Chronic pain is highly prevalent among persons with HIV (PWH), as is depression. Both comorbidities might contribute to, as well as be maintained by, avoidance-based coping. A promising alternative to avoidance-based coping is acceptance. Acceptance of pain is associated with improved functioning and quality of life in chronic pain patients, but this relationship has not been substantially explored among PWH. Cross-sectional data from 187 adult o…
Behavioral Risk Factors for HIV Infection in Hospitalized Persons Who Co-use Stimulants and Opioids
Association of skin infections with sharing of injection drug preparation equipment among people who inject drugs
Examination of using alcohol to cope, depressive symptoms, and perceived social support in persons with HIV and Hepatitis C
Depression is common among people living with HIV (PLWH) and some likely turn to alcohol to cope with this emotional distress. Using alcohol to cope is associated with increased alcohol use, persistent longitudinal alcohol use, and alcohol-related problems. This association is particularly concerning among PLWH who are co-infected with Hepatitis C (HCV) because alcohol adds to the damage already caused by HCV. Despite data showing the associated …
A Randomized Trial Comparing Brief Advice and Motivational Interviewing for Persons with HIV–HCV Co-infection Who Drink Alcohol
What Impacts Feelings of Adulthood Among College-Attending and Non-College-Attending Emerging Adults Who Use Alcohol and Cannabis
Emerging adulthood is a time of transition between adolescence and adulthood, and it also represents a risky time frame for substance use. Perceptions of adulthood, or an individual’s belief about how “adult” they are, is associated with a reduction in risky behavior. The current study evaluated factors that may be related to perceptions of adulthood—living situation, age, gender, financial independence, educational status, domains of adulthood—a…
Motivation to Quit Drinking in Individuals Coinfected with HIV and Hepatitis C
Sex Trading Among Hazardously Drinking Jailed Women
For women involved in sex trading, both alcohol problems and passage through the criminal justice system are highly prevalent. This study is the first to conduct a focused examination of factors associated with sex trading among hazardously drinking, pretrial, jailed women. Cocaine use, social support for alcohol abstinence, and more days incarcerated in the 90 days leading up to the index incarceration were significantly associated with sex trad…
Feasibility of a Supportive Other Intervention for Opiate-Dependent Patients Entering Inpatient Detoxification
Involvement of supportive others (SOs; defined as patient's most important person) in substance use treatment is widely accepted as a valuable addition, but is not routinely implemented during inpatient detoxification for opioid use disorders. The current study explores the feasibility of a brief SO intervention for individuals detoxing from opioids. Data regarding ability to identify an SO, the nature of the SO relationship, and willingness to i…
Stimulant Use and Associated Health Risks Among Student and Non-Student Emerging Adults
Illicit stimulant use (e.g., MDMA, “ecstasy”) constitutes a problem among emerging adults (EAs; 18–25 years old). Prescription stimulants are among the most frequently misused medications in this age-group with past year prevalence rates reported as high as 30% in predominantly student samples in the United States. We examined the association of stimulant use with four health risks reported in this age-group—risky alcohol use, other illicit drug …

Alcohol Use Potentiates Marijuana Problem Severity in Young Adult Women
Self-Control and Adverse 'Drinking' Consequences
Most research on adverse alcohol consequences such as problems with health, work, and relationships focuses only on alcohol use itself as a cause of these outcomes. However, Gottfredson and Hirschi's (1990) self-control theory holds that alcohol use and these negative outcomes are likely to have a common cause–low self-control. Tests of hypotheses derived from self-control theory show that self-control predicts negative drinking consequences bett…
Sexual risk behavior among HIV-positive patients at an urban clinic in Santiago, Dominican Republic
More than 1% of adults in the Dominican Republic are HIV-infected and most infections are acquired sexually. We studied sexual risk behaviors in a group of HIV-positive patients treated in Santiago, Dominican Republic. Interviews were conducted with 129 participants seen in May 2006 at one of the country's largest public hospital HIV clinics. Questions included demographics, sexual history, condom use, and focused on patients' last sexual encount…

Time to degree: Factors related to years in earning a doctorate
The National Research Council (1993) reports that time to degree has increased over the last 30 years. Total time to degree increased 20% from 8.8 to 10.6 median years while the registered time to degree changed from 5.3 to 7.1 years, an increase of 34%. Using the data of a single institution from the Survey of Earned Doctorates of the National Research Council, the present study attempts to analyze this recent change and identify factors associa…
Coping and Burden Among Informal HIV Caregivers
Objective: The aim of this study was to examine the role of coping on caregiver burden among a heterogeneous group of caregivers of persons living with HIV during the era of highly active antiretroviral therapy. Methods: Burden and coping were examined among 176 caregivers of persons living with HIV. Three styles of coping were examined using a 7-item scale: active-approach (task), blame–withdrawal (emotion), and distancing (avoidance). Results: …
