Mental health care equity and access
Mental health services are experiencing unprecedented levels of demand from clients during COVID resulting in longer wait lists and therapist burnout. As Nemoyer et al. (2019) point out, minorities experience a higher burden of mental illness while having less access and lower quality treatments. COVID has increased demands for mental health services even further, creating bottlenecks of care, therapist burnout, and leading to ever longer wait li…
Profiles of trauma histories as predictors of depression among women living with HIV
This study examined co-occurring psychosocial problems among 120 women living with HIV (WLWH) in Washington, DC, USA. Participants completed a demographic survey, PHQ-9 (depressive symptoms), the Life Stressor Checklist (stressful events) and the PCL-C (PTSD symptoms in civilian populations). We calculated descriptive statistics and chi-square solutions for participant demographics. Classes of trauma history were established using latent class an…

Intercorrelation of Alcohol and Other Drug Use Disorders among a National Sample of Drivers
This study examined the relationship between alcohol, marijuana, cocaine, and painkiller use disorders in a sample of drivers. We studied nighttime drivers aged 16 to 87 (n = 4,277) from the 2007 National Roadside Survey who reported substance use behaviors and provided breath tests for alcohol. Logistic regression analyses assessed the relationships between (1) substance (i.e., alcohol/marijuana/cocaine/pain killer) use disorders; (2) demographi…
Marijuana as a Predictor of Concurrent Substance Use Among Motor Vehicle Operators
Despite the adverse effects associated with marijuana abuse and dependence, marijuana is becoming more common-place in activities such as driving. Previous literature has discussed the high rates of cocaine, opioid and benzodiazepine use among users of marijuana, but no research has addressed the rates of concurrent use among drivers meeting abuse or dependence criteria. Each of these substances may produce effects detrimental to driving safety w…
Desistance from problematic alcohol use without treatment among active heroin and cocaine users
Previous literature has examined natural remission rates from problematic drinking in the general population, but not in heroin and cocaine users. This study is a cross-sectional, retrospective study of the baseline data from the Baltimore site of the NEURO-HIV Epidemiologic Study focusing on self-reported substance use. It is one of the first efforts to identify levels of drinking severity and natural recovery in this population and explores pos…
Forgiveness is an emotion-focused coping strategy that can reduce health risks and promote health resilience
Experimental evidence suggests that when people are transgressed against interpersonally, they often react by experiencing unforgiveness. Unforgiveness is conceptualized as a stress reaction. Forgiveness is one (of many) ways people reduce unforgiveness. Forgiveness is conceptualized as an emotional juxtaposition of positive emotions (i.e., empathy, sympathy, compassion, or love) against the negative emotions of unforgiveness. Forgiveness can thu…
