The opportunity was there”
Relapse is an integral part of substance use recovery, yet research on minimizing relapse is limited. Routine Activity Theory posits that when offenders and targets meet where guardians are absent, crime will occur. Conceptualizing relapse in terms of Routine Activity Theory, such that the offender is a person in recovery, the target is the drug, and a guardian is involved in the person’s recovery, offers a new perspective on relapse. Examples ar…
A Qualitatively-Informed Approach to Examining the Construct Validity of Alcohol-Involved Sexual Violence
One in five women experience sexual victimization in her lifetime, making sexual victimization a significant public health crisis. This public health crisis also has detrimental health consequences. Understanding the scope of sexual violence and the effects of prevention programming requires accuracy in measuring sexual violence. Yet, a wealth of research suggests lack of precision in sexual violence measurement and potential confusion among resp…

Low recovery capital has been used to explain relapse among certain marginalized populations. Recovery capital is a recent framework that refers to the individual's sum of all internal and external assets that may assist in their recovery process. It includes four categories: physical, human, social, and cultural capital…
I Think You Covered the Three Levels of Drugs and Consent”
Substance-involved rape is increasing among college students, particularly women (Koss et al., 2022). Addressing rape requires first measuring it accurately in surveys to understand its true scope and nature. We used cognitive interviews with 40 young adults to qualitatively test the construct validity of an alcohol- and other drugs (AOD)-involved rape item in the Sexual Experiences Survey by asking participants to comment on different operationa…
Contexts shaping misdemeanor system interventions among people with mental illnesses
[Peers Give] You Hope that You Can Change Too
A growing body of research demonstrates that peer support can facilitate drug use and mental health recovery and reduce health care costs. However, with few exceptions, peer support has not been systematically studied in the context of street-based sex trade, despite its potential benefits for this vulnerable population. This paper fills this gap by looking at the impact of peer support on 29 substance-use involved women formerly selling sex on t…
