Assessing Smoke-Free Housing Implementation Approaches to Inform Best Practices: A National Survey of Early-Adopting Public Housing Authorities
Secondhand smoke (SHS) exposure causes chronic illness and occurs at a higher prevalence in low-income communities than the general public. In 2018, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) instituted a smoke-free housing rule for Public Housing Authorities (PHAs) to address persistent health inequities. However, the success of smoke-free housing requires evidence to inform effective implementation approaches. A mixed-methods, c…
You need money to get high, and that's the easiest and fastest way: ” A typology of sex work and health behaviours among people who inject drugs
Associations Between Public Housing Residency and Health Behaviors in a Cross-Sectional Sample of Boston Adults
This study aims to provide improved estimates of the association between public housing development (PHD) residency and health behavior outcomes, accounting for sources of confounding frequently overlooked in prior research.

We fit a propensity score model of PHD residency to generate inverse probability of treatment weights, which work to synthesize as…
Patterns, contexts, and motivations for polysubstance use among people who inject drugs in non-urban settings in the U.S. Northeast
Strategies used by people who inject drugs to avoid stigma in healthcare settings

First, scholars have argued that this association may be because of people's perceived relationship with God or the social cohesion one experiences with other parishioners, but scholars have not studied both pathways simultaneously. Using nationally representative cross-sectional data (General Social Survey), I first examine the influen…
