Dimensions of community context that affect coalition effectiveness
Knowledge of Predatory Practices within the Substance Use Disorder Treatment Industry
The KPPS is a reliable measure of knowledge of predatory practices within the substance use disorder treatment industry and can be used as a measurement tool to educate individuals seeking help for their loved ones who are misusing substances
Locational and Contextual Attributes of Opioid Overdoses in New Jersey
The opioid crisis has resulted in unprecedented rates of overdose, yet much remains unknown about the locational and contextual attributes of overdose events. This study aimed to identify settings of nonfatal opioid overdose and their individual and community level predictors. Data from 3,326 overdose events show that residences are the most common overdose setting. Compared to overdoses occurring in residences, outdoor overdoses were more likely…
Predictors of intentional fentanyl use
Opioid overdose in the age of fentanyl
Social Isolation Profiles and Older Adult Substance Use
In working with older adults who are using substances, it is important to inquire about their social isolation and loneliness. Cognitive behavioral therapy for the "alone and lonely" group may be beneficial, as it has been deemed effective in reducing loneliness and enhancing social networks
Psychometric properties of a Recovery Empowerment Scale
Psychological empowerment (PE) is a multidimensional construct comprised of emotional, cognitive, behavioral, and relational domains. Although context‐specific measures of PE exist, no study to date has introduced and tested a measure of the construct that captures all four domains for both women and men in recovery from substance misuse. Furthermore, research has largely neglected the relational dimension, particularly in studies involving peopl…
“A Blessing and a Curse
Background: To address the alarming rise in opioid overdose deaths, states have increased public access to the overdose reversal medication, naloxone. While some studies suggest that increased naloxone accessibility reduces opioid overdose deaths, others raise concerns about unintended consequences, such as increases in risky drug use and opioid re-use post-overdose to counter naloxone-induced withdrawal symptoms. Few studies have examined the im…
A Case Study of SBIRT on A College Campus
Screening, Brief Intervention, and Referral to Treatment (SBIRT) is an evidence-based intervention that has been shown to reduce alcohol use. Extant literature has demonstrated that SBIRT can be effectively integrated and implemented in primary care settings. Relatively little research has focused on the implementation of SBIRT in college student health centers. The aim of this study was to identify challenges and facilitators of implementing SBI…
Promoting opioid overdose prevention and recovery
The strategic prevention framework in community-based coalitions
Empowerment in Coalitions Targeting Underage Drinking
Social work has adopted the Grand Challenge to reduce and prevent alcohol misuse and related consequences. This study extends previous research through a macro examination of distinct roles within coalitions implementing prevention strategies targeting underage alcohol use. The purpose was to determine whether hypothesized relationships among organizational characteristics, empowerment variables, and perceived effectiveness differed for 2 subgrou…
