Methadone Misinformation and Misconceptions
Police-involved homicide of unarmed Black males
Black scholars who reside in the United States balance their teaching, research responsibility, and lived experience with the urgent need to address the racial inequality and violence that has characterized Black life. The authors of this article explore police-involved homicides of unarmed Black males through the unique lens of Black scholars. Embedded in an ecological perspective, the authors address three critical questions: (1) From the viewp…
The New York Policy on Smoking in Addiction Treatment
Objectives. We assessed changes in smoking prevalence and other measures associated with the July 2008 New York Office of Alcoholism and Substance Abuse Services tobacco policy, which required that all publicly funded addiction treatment programs implement smoke-free grounds, have “no evidence” of smoking among staff, and make tobacco dependence treatment available for all clients. Methods. In a random sample of 10 programs, staff and clients wer…

Community-based substance abuse treatment programs provide HIV, hepatitis C virus, and sexually transmitted infection services. To explore how state funding and guidelines affect practice, we surveyed state agency administrators and substance abuse treatment program administrators and clinicians regarding 8 infection-related services. Although state funding for infection-related services is widely available, substance abuse treatment programs do …
Enrollment of Drug Abusers in HIV Clinical Trials
There is an increasing appreciation of the impact of drug abuse on AIDS in the United States because of the pivotal role of injecting drug use in the prevalence of total AIDS cases and case reporting among ethnic/racial minorities, women, and children. While the participation of injecting drug users (IDUs) in HIV clinical trails has increased steadily, the IDU accrual rate lags unacceptably behind the IDU proportion of AIDS cases. The stigma of d…
Decline in HIV Seroprevalence and Low Seroconversion Rate Among Injecting Drug Users at a Methadone Maintenance Program in New York City
To monitor the trend of HIV-1 seroprevalence, 2,194 newly admitted injecting drug users (IDUs) in a methadone maintenance program in New York City were tested from June 1988 through June 1992. This was a blinded study and unlabeled blood specimens were collected during the required physical examination. There was a significant linear trend (p = .01) toward decline in HIV-1 seropositivity by year of admission as follows: 47.0% in 1988, 43.4% in 19…
