Pain Severity and Experiences with Pain Management Predict Alcohol Use Among Men Who Have Sex with Men Living with HIV
Alcohol-associated liver disease and behavioral and medical cofactors: Unmet needs and opportunities
Chronic liver disease is a leading cause of death in the US and is often preventable. Rising burden, cost, and fatality due to liver disease are driven by intensified alcohol use in the US population and the contributions of comorbid conditions. This mini-review focuses on the topic of liver health in the context of chronic, behavioral cofactors of disease, using research-based examples from the Brown University Center for Addiction and Disease R…
Efficacy of Behavioral Intervention, Text Messaging, and Extended Intervention to Address Alcohol Misuse in Sexual Minority Men with HIV: A Factorial Randomized Clinical Trial
Research and engagement considerations for alcohol use telehealth services within HIV care: A qualitative exploration in federally qualified health centers
The prevalence of alcohol misuse is high among people with HIV (PWH); however, access to and utilization of evidence-based alcohol misuse interventions remain limited. Telehealth is one treatment approach with the potential for enhancing substance use disorder treatment utilization for PWH served by Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs). However, questions remain regarding barriers to alcohol-focused telehealth service integration and telehe…
Covid-19-Related Stressors and Clinical Mental Health Symptoms in a Northeast US Sample
These findings link specific stressors to the mental health burden of the COVID-19 pandemic
ReACH2Gether: Iterative Development of a Couples-Based Intervention to Reduce Alcohol use Among Sexual Minority Men Living with HIV and Their Partners
Transgender and gender diverse adults’ reflections on alcohol counseling and recommendations for providers
18) to explore factors that facilitate positive interactions with health care providers and identify relevant information for alcohol use disorder treatment. Participants were recruited from an LGBTQ +-focused health center in Los Angeles, California. Two major themes and recommendations emerged: (a) A multicultural orientation of humility is important to develop productive therapeutic relationships with TGD clients when delivering motivational i…
Examining the Impact of Race on Motivational Interviewing Implementation and Outcomes with HIV+ Heavy Drinking Men Who Have Sex with Men
Motivational interviewing (MI)-based interventions focus on changing behavior through building client motivation. It is unknown how racial mismatch between clients and providers may impact MI implementation and subsequent behavior. We used a mixed methods approach to examine differences in Motivational Interviewing Skill Code (MISC) coded sessions and post-session outcomes between a sample of HIV-positive cisgender men who have sex with men (MSM)…
Discussion of alcohol consequences during a brief motivational intervention session: Comparing those who do and do not increase readiness to change
The present study was designed to take an inductive, qualitative approach to understanding how discussion of alcohol-related consequences during brief motivational interventions (BMI) relate to readiness to change (RTC) prior to versus at the end of a session. Participants were thirty-four adults (35% female) recruited from the emergency room and enrolled in a randomized clinical trial of a BMI for risky alcohol use and risky sex. Seventeen parti…
Modeling the Impact of Race, Socioeconomic Status, Discrimination and Cognitive Appraisal on Mental Health Concerns Among Heavy Drinking HIV+ Cisgender MSM
Characteristics of Sex Events, Partners, and Motivations and Their Associations with HIV-Risk Behavior in a Daily Diary Study of High-Risk Men Who Have Sex with Men (MSM)
HIV-related thought avoidance, sexual risk, and alcohol use among men who have sex with men
HIV-related "cognitive escape" refers to a tendency to avoid thoughts associated with HIV, which may be particularly common among men who have sex with men (MSM) who are often inundated with HIV information, potentially to the point of fatigue. HIV-related cognitive escape is associated with increased sexual risk behaviors, such as condomless sex, and heavier alcohol use patterns. Other studies show that some MSM may use alcohol specifically to f…
Feasibility and acceptability of a motivational intervention combined with text messaging for alcohol and sex risk reduction with emergency department patients: A pilot trial
Integrating MI with TM is feasible and acceptable to at-risk ED patients and could facilitate behavior changes beyond MI alone
Causal Effects of Alcohol Intoxication on Sexual Risk Intentions and Condom Negotiation Skills Among High-Risk Men Who Have Sex with Men (MSM)
Characteristics of intermittent smokers and their association with quit intentions in a sample of heavy-drinking HIV-infected men who have sex with men
Intermittent smokers (ITS) have increased health risks compared with non-smokers (NS). Cigarette smoking remains prevalent among men who have sex with men (MSM) and persons living with HIV (PLWH), yet most studies in PLWH do not discriminate between daily smokers (DS) and ITS. In this study, the characteristics and quit intentions of ITS and DS are compared in a sample of heavy-drinking HIV-infected MSM. Of the 185 participants enrolled, 49.2% re…
Using video conferencing to deliver a brief motivational intervention for alcohol and sex risk to emergency department patients: A proof-of-concept pilot study
Brief motivational intervention (MI) is an efficacious approach to reduce heavy drinking and associated sexual risk behavior among Emergency Department (ED) patients, but the intensity of demands placed on ED staff makes the implementation of in-person MIs logistically challenging. This proof-of-concept pilot study examined the acceptability and logistic feasibility of using video-conferencing technology to deliver an MI targeting heavy drinking …
HIV Testing Among Men Who Have Sex with Men in the Northeastern United States
Effects of smoking and alcohol use on neurocognitive functioning in heavy drinking, HIV-positive men who have sex with men
High rates of cognitive impairment persist in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection, despite improved health outcomes and reduced mortality through widespread use of antiretroviral therapy (ART). Heavy alcohol use and cigarette smoking are potential contributors to neurocognitive impairment in people living with HIV (PLWH), yet few studies have examined their influence concurrently. Here we investigated the effects of self-reported alcohol…
Alcohol use predicts elevation in inflammatory marker soluble CD14 in men living with HIV
Independently, HIV infection and heavy alcohol use increase microbial translocation (MT) of gut products into systemic circulation. MT and consequent immune response have been linked to chronic inflammation and a host of negative health outcomes in individuals living with HIV. However, previous research has not systematically investigated the immune correlates of heavy drinking specifically within the HIV-positive population. This pilot study inv…
Using Ecological Momentary Assessment (EMA) to Study Sex Events Among Very High-Risk Men Who Have Sex with Men (MSM)
Cigarette Smoking and Antiretroviral Therapy (ART) Adherence in a Sample of Heavy Drinking HIV-Infected Men Who Have Sex with Men (MSM)
Behavioral Economic Decision Making and Alcohol-related Sexual Risk Behavior
The effects of cigarette smoking on learning and memory performance among people living with HIV/Aids
The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of smoking (past and current) on multiple domains of cognitive functioning in a sample of people living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA). We hypothesized that among PLWHA, current smokers would demonstrate poorer cognitive functioning when compared to non-smokers, specifically in the cognitive domains of auditory-verbal learning and memory, visuospatial memory, overall cognitive efficiency, executive skil…
Reliability of Social Skills and Social Anxiety Ratings with Different Sets of Raters
Two independent sets of 2 raters who rated the same 34 videotaped role-plays of psychiatric patients for social skill and social anxiety showed high intraset and interset reliabilities. These findings increase confidence that continuing assessment of these constructs should not be affected by changes in raters
Relationships among Social Perception, Social Skill, and Social Anxiety of Psychiatric Patients
This study examined relationships among measures of social perception and social performance for 63 psychiatric patients. Simulated social situations with differing response alternatives were presented on videotape to patients who judged the most appropriate alternative of three. Patients also participated in role-plays, and their videotaped responses were later rated for social skill and social anxiety. Patients also responded to a self-report i…
Orthogonal Components of Reported Male Sexual Behavior
In constructing an inventory that would yield a general measure of sexual performance and sexual interest, responses of 101 male paid volunteers were subjected to a principal component analysis. No general factor of sexual activity was found. Instead the results indicated that various components of sexual performance occur independently. Implications for the assessment of sexual behavior in basic and applied research were presented
Serum testosterone and sexual activity and interest in men
