Facing Bias, Finding Escape
Background Few studies have given attention to the relationship between experiences of perceived discrimination, negative context of reception (e.g., hostility toward a particular group), and e-cigarette use among Indian American youth. This brief explored the predictors of lifetime e-cigarette use among a cross-sectional cohort of Indian American youth.Methods A cross-sectional survey was administered to Indian American youth (N = 223) ages 12 t…
Validation of self‐harm prediction models among formerly incarcerated individuals using health data
BACKGROUND: Individuals released from jail die by self‐harm at nearly nine times the rate of the general U.S. POPULATION: Most jails rely on traditional screening methods, such as brief self-report questionnaires, which are often inconsistently administered and have limited sensitivity and predictive accuracy. This highlights the urgent need for alternative self-harm risk identification methods during and after incarceration. OBJECTIVE: To evalua…
Assessing Rural-Urban Differences in Screening for Mental Health Needs Among Individuals in County Jails
Rural jails are increasingly contributing to the overall jail population and little is known about how they differ from non-rural jails. This study compares demographic, behavioral health and criminal/legal histories of 3,797 individuals who booked into three rural jails and seven non-rural jails. In addition, the study assessed how jails identify mental illness, which was compared to an objective screening instrument (Kessler-6). Individuals in …

Exploring the Lived Experiences of Medication for Opioid use Disorder Treatment
Given the effectiveness of medication for opioid use disorder (MOUD) and low engagement of treatment among people who use drugs (PWUD), it is important to better understand how to engage treatment clients with MOUD care. The current study aimed to achieve this goal by using qualitative methodology to characterize the MOUD treatment experiences. Participants (N = 52) were recruited for an online semi-structured interview. Qualitative analysis reve…
Spatiotemporal Analysis Exploring the Effect of Law Enforcement Drug Market Disruptions on Overdose, Indianapolis, Indiana, 2020–2021
Objectives. To test the hypothesis that law enforcement efforts to disrupt local drug markets by seizing opioids or stimulants are associated with increased spatiotemporal clustering of overdose events in the surrounding geographic area. Methods. We performed a retrospective (January 1, 2020 to December 31, 2021), population-based cohort study using administrative data from Marion County, Indiana. We compared frequency and characteristics of drug…
Factors of Recidivism among Individuals with Co-occurring Conditions in Rural Mental Health Jail Interventions
Estimates indicate that nearly half of rural jail detainees meet the criteria for co-occurring disorders (COD). It is critical to examine factors of recidivism among detainees with COD in rural communities. This exploratory study aimed to examine factors of recidivism among adults in rural jails. Administrative data sources were utilized to assess postyear recidivism among 191 individuals with COD who participated in a jail-based intervention. Re…
Buprenorphine Treatment Intake and Critical Encounters following a Nonfatal Opioid Overdose
Background Individuals with prior opioid-related overdose events have an increased risk for opioid-related mortality. Buprenorphine is a partial agonist that has shown to be an effective medication for opioid use disorder (MOUD). Yet, few studies have investigated whether buprenorphine reduces the risk of opioid-related mortality following a nonfatal opioid-related overdose.Methods A retrospective study was conducted on all overdose cases in Indi…
Predictors of Safe Prescription Opioid Storage and Participation in Drug Take-Back Events
Comparing Attitudes Toward Stigmatized Deaths
Willingness to use syringe service programs and safe consumption sites among methadone patients with histories of injection drug use in a small Midwest community
Syringe service programs (SSPs) and safe consumption sites (SCSs) are evidence-based strategies to reduce harm associated with injection drug use. However, little is known about the acceptability of these programs outside large urban areas. This study assesses willingness to use SSPs and SCSs among people receiving methadone and with history of injection drug use in a small Midwest community, and identifies factors associated with likely use of e…
Leveraging crowdsourcing methods to collect qualitative data in addiction science
A mixed-methods approach to understanding overdose risk-management strategies among a nationwide convenience sample
Appalachian Women’s Use of Substance Abuse Treatment
The Gelberg-Andersen Behavioral Model for Vulnerable Populations was applied to understand vulnerable Appalachian women's (N = 400) utilization of addiction treatment. A secondary data analyses included multiple multivariate analyses. Strongest correlates of treatment utilization included ever injecting drugs (OR = 2.77), limited availability of substance abuse treatment facilities (OR = 2.03), and invalidated violence abuse claims (OR = 2.12). T…
