  • Factors Associated with Benzodiazepine Misuse Among Those Who Misused Opioids Within the Past Year

    Christine Ramdin, Kalee Mishra et al.ARTICLESubstance Use & Misuse2025

    Introduction Rarely lethal in isolated ingestion, benzodiazepines show an increasing degree of morbidity and mortality associated with overdose when co-ingested with opioids. Several studies have identified a limited number of associated risk and protective factors surrounding concomitant use. Of those studies that used national data, most focused on the consequences of benzodiazepine and opioid co-ingestion rather than risk factors associated wi…

  • Cannabis and Cocaine, Heroin, or Methamphetamine Use and Factors Associated with Multiple Drug Use and Drug Treatment in a Nationally Representative Sample

    Ellen T Kurtzman, Christine Ramdin et al.ARTICLEJournal of Psychoactive Drugs2025

    Cannabis is often used with other illicit drugs. Drawing from leading theories of polysubstance use, we used data from the 2009-2018 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey to examine the prevalence of reported lifetime use of cannabis and cocaine, heroin, and/or methamphetamine among non-pregnant respondents ages 18-59 years. After identifying the subpopulation that reported using multiple drugs, we used multivariate logistic regression…

  • Concurrent Alcohol and Opioid Intoxication in Emergency Department Patients Leads to Greater Resource Utilization

    Michael Makutonin, Christine Ramdin et al.ARTICLESubstance Use & Misuse2024

    Background: Concurrent alcohol intoxication can complicate emergency department (ED) presentations for opioid-related adverse events. We sought to determine if there was a difference in resource utilization among patients who presented to the ED with concurrent opioid and alcohol intoxication compared to opioid intoxication alone. Methods: Using linked state-wide databases from the Maryland Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project (HCUP), we ident…

  • Public health and medical preparedness for mass casualties from the deliberate release of synthetic opioids

    Open AccessSusan M Cibulsky, Timo Wille et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Public Health2023

    The large amounts of opioids and the emergence of increasingly potent illicitly manufactured synthetic opioids circulating in the unregulated drug supply in North America and Europe are fueling not only the ongoing public health crisis of overdose deaths but also raise the risk of another type of disaster: deliberate opioid release with the intention to cause mass harm. Synthetic opioids are highly potent, rapidly acting, can cause fatal ventilat…

  • The Impact of a Peer-Navigator Program on Naloxone Distribution and Buprenorphine Utilization in the Emergency Department

    Christine Ramdin, Marshall Guo et al.ARTICLESubstance Use & Misuse2022

    Objectives: In recent years many emergency departments (EDs) have adopted interventions to help patients with opioid use disorder (OUD), particularly buprenorphine initiation and ED-based peer recovery support. There are limited data on the impact of peer navigators on provider naloxone kit distribution and buprenorphine utilization. We aimed to examine the impact of a peer recovery program on naloxone kit distribution and buprenorphine administr…

  • Impact of Mandatory Carbon Monoxide Alarms

    Katherine Wheeler-Martin, Sari Soghoian et al.ARTICLEAmerican Journal of Public Health2015Referencias: 10

    Objectives. We sought to evaluate the impact of New York City’s (NYC’s) 2004 carbon monoxide (CO) alarm legislation on CO incident detection and poisoning rates. Methods. We compared CO poisoning deaths, hospitalizations, exposures reported to Poison Control, and fire department investigations, before and after the law for 2000 to 2010. Use of CO alarms was assessed in the 2009 NYC Community Health Survey. Results. Investigations that found indoo…

  • Embalming Fluid-Soaked Marijuana

    Julie Holland, Julie A Holland et al.ARTICLEJournal of Psychoactive Drugs1998

    A growing trend of smoking marijuana soaked in what is purported to be embalming fluid has been reported in the literature since the mid-1980s. This article describes several cases of intoxication, gives regional epidemiological data on this phenomenon, and includes current nomenclature. The authors also analyze a sample of fluid said to be embalming fluid and discover PCP (phencyclidine) and multiple congeners and by-products of PCP manufacture.…
