Measuring the Interrelationships Between Cognitive Performance, Race/Ethnicity, Discrimination, Health Behaviors, and Physiological Dysregulation
Objective The objective of this study was to examine the interrelationships between cognitive performance, race/ethnicity, discrimination, health behaviors, and physiological dysregulation. Methods We used data from the Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis (MESA) ( N = 1667). We used path analyses to examine the association between discrimination, physiological dysregulation, health behaviors, and cognitive performance using the Cognitive Abilit…
Neurobehavioral Mechanisms Influencing the Association Between Generativity, the Desire to Promote Well-Being of Younger Generations, and Purpose in Life in Older Adults at Risk for Alzheimer’s Diseas…
These findings provide insight into how the brain supports complex social behavior and, separately, purpose in life in at-risk aging. Affectionate social support may be a putative target process to enhance purpose in life in older adults. This knowledge contributes to future developments of personalized interventions that promote healthy aging
Long-Term Effects of Incentives for HIV Viral Suppression
Reducing Risky Drug Use Behaviors by Enrolling Syringe Exchange Registrants in Methadone Maintenance
Background Referral of syringe exchange registrants with opioid use disorder to agonist treatment provides a pathway to further reduce drug use risk behaviors. Objective: This study evaluates the drug use risk reduction benefits of enrolling syringe exchange registrants in methadone maintenance, and the impact of continued illicit drug use on risk reduction. Method: Baltimore Needle Exchange Program (BNEP) registrants (n = 210) participated in a …
Abstinence-contingent wage supplements to promote drug abstinence and employment
BACKGROUND: Poverty, unemployment and substance abuse are inter-related problems. This study evaluated the effectiveness of abstinence-contingent wage supplements in promoting drug abstinence and employment in unemployed adults in outpatient treatment for opioid use disorder. METHODS: A randomised controlled trial was conducted in Baltimore, MD, from 2014 to 2019. After a 3-month abstinence initiation and training period, participants (n=91) were…

Evaluation of a Computer-Based HIV Education Program for Adults Living with HIV
Association between allostatic load and health behaviours
BACKGROUND: Allostatic load (AL) has been characterised in many ways throughout the literature; however, its relationship to health behaviours has only been studied in limited populations. We aimed to uncover qualitative patterns of biological indicators in AL and determine if those patterns were associated with certain health behaviours. METHODS: We conducted latent class analysis using biological indicators from a multiethnic population. We fit…
The Challenging Experience Questionnaire
Acute adverse psychological reactions to classic hallucinogens (“bad trips” or “challenging experiences”), while usually benign with proper screening, preparation, and support in controlled settings, remain a safety concern in uncontrolled settings (such as illicit use contexts). Anecdotal and case reports suggest potential adverse acute symptoms including affective (panic, depressed mood), cognitive (confusion, feelings of losing sanity), and so…
Factor Analysis of the Mystical Experience Questionnaire
A large body of historical evidence describes the use of hallucinogenic compounds, such as psilocybin mushrooms, for religious purposes. But few scientific studies have attempted to measure or characterize hallucinogen-occasioned spiritual experiences. The present study examined the factor structure of the Mystical Experience Questionnaire (MEQ), a self-report measure that has been used to assess the effects of hallucinogens in laboratory studies…
