The feasibility of respondent-driven sampling with people who use drugs in rural Western Cape, South Africa
Open AccessTara Carney, Kim Johnson et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2025
The Western Cape is South Africa’s epicentre for tuberculosis (TB) and smoked drug use such as methamphetamine and methaqualone (Mandrax). Despite this, there are limited studies on people who smoke drugs (PWSD) with TB disease in South Africa, partly due to recruitment challenges. Respondent-driven sampling (RDS) is a network-based sampling method used to recruit such key populations. The aim of this qualitative study is to explore the appropria…
“They call us amaphara (junkies)”
Open AccessTara Carney, Noluthando Mpisane et al.ARTICLEStigma and Health2025
Stigma acts as a barrier to the diagnosis and effective treatment of tuberculosis (TB). Individuals with TB who also use alcohol or drugs (AODs), including methamphetamine, may experience intersectional stigma. Further, the nature and intensity of these intersecting stigmas may be compounded by co-morbidities like HIV and marginalized social status. Despite this, AOD use stigma has rarely been studied in the context of TB and other co-occurring c…
Perceived Healthcare Access among Persons with and without HIV Who Use Illicit Stimulants
Shakiera Causey, Sheri L Towe et al.ARTICLESubstance Use & Misuse2021
Background: Persons who use stimulant drugs have greater morbidity and mortality relative to non-users. HIV infection has the potential to contribute to even great disparity in health outcomes among persons who use stimulants. These health disparities likely result in part due to poorer access to healthcare. Our study used a cumulative risk model to examine the impact of multiple risk factors on healthcare access in a sample of persons with and w…

Cognitive Impairment among People Who Use Heroin and Fentanyl
Javier A Tamargo, Adriana Campa et al.ARTICLEJournal of Psychoactive Drugs2020
Background: Cognitive impairment is common in people living with HIV (PLWH). Opioid drugs exert direct and indirect effects on cognitive processes, which may contribute to cognitive dysfunction among PLWH. This study was designed to determine if opioid use is associated with cognitive impairment and whether the effect differs between PLWH and HIV-uninfected adults. Other neuropsychiatric symptoms, such as depression and apathy, were also examined…

The role of substance use coping in the relation between childhood sexual abuse and depression among methamphetamine users in South Africa
Open AccessMartha K Berg, Andrea L Hobkirk et al.ARTICLEPsychological Trauma Theory…2016
In this study of high-risk methamphetamine users, substance use coping emerged as a common means of managing stress, especially for those with a history of CSA, which was further linked to depressive symptoms. These findings underscore the potential benefit of integrating coping interventions and mental health treatment into substance abuse treatment programs, particularly for those with a history of childhood abuse and violence.

Heterosexual Anal Sex Among Men and Women in Substance Abuse Treatment
Mary A Hatch‐Maillette, Mary A Hatch-Maillette et al.ARTICLEThe Journal of Sex Research2016Cited by: 1
Receptive anal sex has high human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) transmission risk, and heterosexual substance-abusing individuals report higher anal sex rates compared to their counterparts in the general population. This secondary analysis evaluated the effectiveness of two gender-specific, evidence-based HIV-prevention interventions (Real Men Are Safe, or REMAS, for men; Safer Sex Skill Building, or SSSB, for women) against an HIV education (HIV…

Open AccessBret Kloos, Steven M Gross et al.ARTICLEAmerican Journal of Community…2005Cited by: 4References: 37
As a population, persons with serious mental illness (SMI) have an elevated risk for HIV infection. However, relatively little is known about how the risk of HIV has affected their lives, how persons with SMI evaluate their HIV risk, and what preventive measures they undertake. Furthermore, relatively little is known about community-based HIV prevention for persons with SMI as most interventions have been restricted to clinical settings. This rep…
The influence of pregnancy, sexually transmitted diseases, and human immunodeficiency virus perceived susceptibility patterns on sexual risk reduction for adolescent females
Open AccessT Kershaw, Trace S Kershaw et al.ARTICLEJournal of Community Psychology2005Cited by: 2References: 31
Risky sexual behavior can lead to pregnancy, sexually transmitted diseases (STDs), and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). Our study of 300 adolescent females takes an integrative approach by incorporating these multiple outcomes to assess the influence of risk perceptions on sexual behavior by (1) identifying subgroups of perceived susceptibility to pregnancy, STDs, and HIV using cluster analysis and (2) comparing subgroups on demographics, sexu…
