A latent profile analysis of opioid-related knowledge, social relationships, and campus connectedness among college students
Objectives: To identify distinct patterns of opioid-related knowledge, social relationships, and campus connectedness in a national sample of college students. Methods: Data were collected from 7,087 students (ages of 18-25) from 17 colleges and universities who participated in the 2021-2022 Healthy Minds Study (HMS). Results: Using latent profile analysis (LPA), four profiles were empirically derived: Profile (1) high knowledge and willing to in…
Supporting linkage facilitators working with persons with opioid use disorder
This narrative review explores the evolving role of linkage facilitation (LF) in supporting persons with opioid use disorder (OUD) including both the organizational strategies to initiate and sustain LF services and strategies to support the LF workforce. Drawing on expert consensus and iterative review by an interdisciplinary author team, we synthesized relevant literature from diverse fields using a narrative review approach. Organizational str…
Understanding Regional Patterns of Overdose Deaths Related to Opioids and Psychostimulants
BACKGROUND: As overdose rates increase for multiple substances, policymakers need to identify geographic patterns of substance-specific deaths. In this study, we describe county-level opioid and psychostimulant overdose patterns and how they correlate with county-level social vulnerability measures. METHODS: A cross-sectional observational study, we used nationwide 2016-2018 restricted access Centers for Disease Prevention and Control county-leve…
Linkage facilitation for opioid use disorder in criminal legal system contexts
At the intersection of drug policy, the opioid crisis, and fragmented care systems, persons with opioid use disorder (OUD) in the United States are significantly vulnerable to contact with the criminal legal system (CLS). In CLS settings, provision of evidence-based treatment for OUD is variable and often secondary to punitive approaches. Linkage facilitation at every touch point along the CLS Sequential Intercept Model has potential to redirect …
Racial and Ethnic Differences in Heroin, Methamphetamine, and Cocaine Use, Treatment, and Mortality Trends in 3 National Data Sources—United States, 2010-2019
BACKGROUND: As overdose deaths continue to rise, public health officials need comprehensive surveillance data to design effective prevention, harm reduction, and treatment strategies. Disparities across race and ethnicity groups, as well as trends in substance use, treatment, or overdose deaths, have been examined individually, but reports rarely compare findings across multiple substances or data sources. OBJECTIVE: To provide a broad assessment…
The Involvement in Alcoholics Anonymous Scale - Short Form
Background: The aim of this research was to examine the psychometrics of a short form version of the multidimensional Involvement in Alcoholics Anonymous scale (IAA-SF) by assessing the factor structure, internal consistency, and predictive validity. While there are several existing measures of involvement in Alcoholics Anonymous, many are either unidimensional or are limited in their ability to gather variation in the level of involvement in the…
Characteristics of students participating in collegiate recovery programs and the impact of Covid-19
The goals of the present study were to describe the development of the first national longitudinal study of collegiate recovery programs (CRP) students; provide an updated characterization of CRP students' demographics, past problem severity, and current recovery-related functioning; and examine the perceived impact of COVID-19 on CRP students' recovery. Universities and community colleges with CRPs across the United States and Ontario, Canada, w…
Emotion regulation predicts recovery capital beyond mindfulness and demographic variation in Recovery Dharma
Recovery Dharma is a Buddhist-inspired mutual-aid recovery program for those with substance use disorders and behavioral addictions. The program combines meditation, emotion regulation techniques, literature, and Buddhist practices during meetings to help people achieve emotional balance and improve their well-being. Despite the growing popularity of Recovery Dharma, how the practices in this program predict recovery resources remain largely unkn…
Evidencing the Need to Screen for Social Determinants of Health Among Boys Entering a Juvenile Prison
Social determinants of health influence who ends up in the juvenile legal system and how individuals fare when entering and leaving the system. The present study utilized latent profile analysis to determine the extent to which social determinants of health were present in a sample of incarcerated youth and the patterns in which they appear. The authors then examined their relationships to racial groups, depression, substance misuse, and recidivi…
A Socio-Ecological model for collegiate recovery programs
Given the major public health issue of substance use in the college environment and among college students, we must improve our understanding of students attempting to resolve substance related issues. Though much of research and policy attention has focused on individual progress according to personal characteristics and experiences, a much broader, theoretically informed understanding based on interpersonal relationships and contextual conditio…
Recovery Dharma
The present study is an exploration of Recovery Dharma (RD), an emerging Buddhist-based mutual help organization (MHO) for supporting recovery from addiction. In this article, we outline the history of RD and provide an overview of the MHO, characterize RD participants, and discuss similarities and differences between RD and other MHOs. Participants (N = 209) completed an online survey; findings illustrate unique aspects of RD, including a divers…
Prison Population Reductions and Covid-19
People in prison are particularly vulnerable to infectious disease due to close living conditions and the lack of protective equipment. As a result, public health professionals and prison administrators seek information to guide best practices and policy recommendations during the COVID-19 pandemic. Using latent profile analysis, we sought to characterize Texas prisons on levels of COVID-19 cases and deaths among incarcerated residents, and COVID…
