Online Medication Assisted Treatment Education for Court Professionals
Introduction Although medication-assisted treatment (MAT) effectively treats opioid use disorders (OUD), MAT access is restricted in criminal justice (CJ) settings. Previous studies have documented that stigma and limited knowledge about MAT are prevalent among CJ court personnel. We describe development and pilot testing of an eLearning intervention to improve MAT knowledge and increase MAT referrals in Ohio courts. Methods: Building upon a nati…

We examined the social and interpersonal context of gender abuse and its effects on Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fourth Edition major depression among transgender women. Methods. We conducted a 3-year prospective study (2004–2007) among 230 transgender women aged 19 to 59 years from the New York City Metropolitan Area. Statistical techniques included generalized estimating equations (logistic regression). Res…
Gender Abuse, Depressive Symptoms, and HIV and Other Sexually Transmitted Infections Among Male-to-Female Transgender Persons
Objectives. We examined gender abuse and depressive symptoms as risk factors for HIV and other sexually transmitted infections (HIV/STI) among male-to-female transgender persons (MTFs). Methods. We conducted a 3-year prospective study of factors associated with incident HIV, syphilis, hepatitis B, chlamydia, and gonorrhea among 230 MTFs from the New York Metropolitan Area. Statistical techniques included Cox proportional hazards analysis with tim…
Gender Identity Conflict/Affirmation and Major Depression Across the Life Course of Transgender Women
Using the Life Chart Interview, a validated instrument for the collection of biographical data, lifetime information about transgender experiences was collected in a community-based sample of 571 transgender women from the New York metropolitan area. Disclosures of transgender identity in different types of relationships, responses of relationship partners indicative of gender identity conflict or affirmation, and Diagnostic and Statistical Manua…
A Further Assessment of Blanchard’s Typology of Homosexual Versus Non-Homosexual or Autogynephilic Gender Dysphoria
Sexual Arousal Associated with Private as Compared to Public Feminine Dressing Among Male-to-Female Transgender Persons
Heroin-Dependent Inmates' Experiences with Buprenorphine or Methadone Maintenance
Methadone and buprenorphine are both efficacious treatments for opioid dependency, but they also have different pharmacological properties and clinical delivery methods that can affect their acceptability to patients. This study was intended to increase our knowledge of heroin-dependent individuals' perceptions of methadone vs. buprenorphine maintenance based on actual experiences with each. The study sample consists of heroin-dependent men at th…
Psychiatric Impact of Gender-Related Abuse Across the Life Course of Male-to-Female Transgender Persons
The psychiatric impact of interpersonal abuse associated with an atypical presentation of gender was examined across the life course of 571 male-to-female (MTF) transgender persons from the New York City Metropolitan Area. Gender-related abuse (psychological and physical), suicidality, and Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (4th ed., text revision) major depression were retrospectively measured across five stages of the life co…
Drug Abuse, Risks of Infectious Diseases and Service Utilization Among Former Soviet Union Immigrants
Based on the high rates of injection drug use and infectious disease such as HIV, HCV and tuberculosis in their home country, immigrants from the Former Soviet Union (FSU) comprise a high-risk population in the United States. Yet, little is known about their drug abuse and health problems relative to other immigrant populations like Hispanics. The objectives of this exploratory study were to identify disease risk behavior, and utilization of and …
Predicting Treatment Retention with a Brief “Opinions About Methadone” Scale
It is important to identify social conditions, program factors, and client characteristics that predict retention because time in substance abuse treatment is associated with improved health, mood, and social functioning. Treatment dropouts also are at high risk for serious harms, including relapse. Most opioid-dependent persons require long-term stabilization in methadone maintenance treatment (MMT) to normalize brain function and control withdr…
A Port in a Storm”
Substance use is associated with many problems, including homelessness, mental illness, isolation, and poverty, yet ambivalence about change leads many affected individuals to defer treatment or drop out prematurely. This paper describes a manualized, time-limited, low-threshold group model for treatment outreach to residentially unstable drug and alcohol users who, though wanting help, are not yet committed to ending or reducing substance use. T…
The Combined Effects of Treatment Intensity, Self-Help Groups and Patient Attributes on Drinking Outcomes
Better understanding of the diverse factors that predict alcoholism treatment outcomes is essential to improving treatment strategies. Patients accepted for treatment at a multimodality program were interviewed and followed-up at three months and one year after admission. The study tested a set of hypotheses relating to the effects on drinking outcomes of treatment modality, modality matching, treatment retention, aftercare, self-help group parti…
Effects of Peer Mentoring on HIV-Affected Youths' Substance Use Risk and Association with Substance Using Friends
This study evaluates the effectiveness of peer mentoring (PM) for urban youth with a HIV-positive parent. Families were randomly assigned with a weighting procedure to a PM program centered around 20 older, trained peer mentors with adult supervision (59 families with 96 eligible youths), or control condition (35 families with 61 eligible youths). The youths were 51% male, 91% minority; mean age was 11.4 years. Outcomes measured one year later we…
The Effect of 12-Step-Based Fellowship Participation on Abstinence Among Dually Diagnosed Persons
A large percentage of individuals are dually-diagnosed with a psychiatric disorder and a substance use disorder. Such persons typically face more difficulties and have poorer outcomes than do single disorder substance users. Among noncomorbid substance users, treatment and participation in 12-Step groups have been shown to enhance the likelihood of abstinence from substance misuse. Specialized 12-Step based fellowships have recently emerged to ad…
Impact of expanding syringe access in New York on sources of syringes for injection drug users in Harlem and the Bronx, NYC, USA
Service Outcomes of Peer Consumer Advocacy for Soup Kitchen Guests
This study determined client outcomes for two “linkage and coordination” models of case management-an individual case manager model and a team model consisting of a case manager and a peer helper-in an inner-city meal program. Soup kitchen guests seeking social services were voluntarily randomly assigned to one of two conditions-Linkage and Coordination (L/C) plus Peer Consumer Advocacy (PCA) [N = 57] or Linkage and Coordination (L/C) only [N = 5…
Treatment Intensity and Reduction in Drug Use for Cocaine-Dependent Methadone Patients
This study examined the impact of treatment intensity on cocaine use. Seventy-seven cocaine-using methadone patients were enrolled in a six-month, structured, manual-driven, cognitive-behavioral treatment program. Sessions consisted of five individual and/or group sessions per week. At intake subjects showed extensive polydrug abuse, psychiatric comorbidity, criminal histories, and HIV risk behaviors. Treatment intensity was measured by dividing …
Ambivalence Toward Methadone Treatment Among Intravenous Drug Users
Interviews were conducted with a sample of jailed intravenous opioid users who were not in treatment at the time of their arrest and who were admitted to an in-jail methadone maintenance program. At release, subjects were to be referred to dedicated slots in participating community methadone programs. Virtually all subjects were daily injectors of heroin and cocaine. Although the majority of subjects had previous episodes of methadone maintenance…
