Assessing substance abuse treatment needs among the homeless
OBJECTIVES: We report on a pilot project that used a telephone-based interactive voice response system accessed by cellular phones at diverse sites, to interview homeless persons on their need for alcohol and other drug treatment. METHODS: Using this technique we surveyed 207 homeless adults at eight shelters in Cleveland, Ohio. RESULTS: The cellular approach was comparable to human-administered interviews in reliability and validity and yielded …
Prostitutes on crack cocaine
The connections between prostitution and drug use have long been a topic of social research. Much of this work has focused on the use of opiates, especially heroin. With the increasing availability of a smokable form of cocaine commonly called "crack," new questions have emerged about the basic relation between drugs and prostitution. Drawing on interviews with 39 crack‐using female prostitutes, this article presents evidence of three different a…
Effects of an intervention program on Aids-related drug and needle behavior among intravenous drug users
BACKGROUND: Behaviors which entail high risk for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection among intravenous drug users can be significantly reduced through educational intervention. METHODS: The educational intervention was conducted by a health educator in a one-on-one format and provided information about acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) and strategies for reducing the risk of infection. Risk was assessed prior to the intervention …
Estimating Multiplicative Regression Terms in the Presence of Measurement Error
Measurement error is a continuing concern for sociologists. A particularly nagging problem has been estimating regression coefficients of multiplicative effects when the component variables contain measurement error. Recently, Heise (1986) presented a corrected estimator for multiplicative terms containing measurement error. The research presented here extends Heise's work, and examines the use of an alternate corrected/constrained estimator prop…
