  • “Especially Being Homeless, They Just Think You’re Infected with Covid or Something”

    Abigail K Winiker, Eshan U Patel et al.ARTICLEHousing Policy Debate2026

    People experiencing homelessness with a substance use disorder are a highly structurally vulnerable population, facing a unique burden of compounding stigma, discrimination, and adverse health outcomes. Evidence remains mixed on best practices for housing interventions designed to best meet the needs of this population. Ten people with a history of injection drug use experiencing homelessness during the COVID-19 pandemic were interviewed between …

  • Association of Intersectional Anticipated Discrimination with Mental Health Among Immigrant Latinos

    Open AccessCassandra Parent, Gabriel Ramirez et al.ARTICLEHealth Equity2024

    Introduction: Anticipating discrimination can lead to increased vigilance, which acts as a potential stressor similar to actual discrimination experiences. However, there is limited understanding of how discrimination and anticipated discrimination affect Latinos with intersecting identities, particularly those who are immigrants. Using a cross-sectional survey, we examine the association between intersectional anticipated discrimination and ment…

  • Overdose Experiences among People Who Inject Drugs in West Virginia

    Kristin E Schneider, Sean T Allen et al.ARTICLESubstance Use & Misuse2023

    Background: As overdose remains a major public health concern in the United States, it is important to understand the experiences people who inject drugs (PWID) have with overdose. Past experiences during such emergencies are an important determinant of future behavior, including help seeking, which can be lifesaving. Methods: We explored experiences with overdose, using data from 21 in-depth interviews collected from PWID in a rural county in We…

    Harita S Shah, Harita Shah et al.ARTICLEAmerican Journal of Public Health2023Cited by: 1References: 9

    To address disparities in COVID-19 outcomes among Latinos with limited English proficiency in Maryland, our team developed a culturally congruent intervention that coupled a statewide social marketing campaign with community-based COVID-19 services. In the first year, we reached 305 122 people through social media advertisements and had 9607 visitors to the Web site. Social marketing campaigns represent an opportunity to promote COVID-19 testing …

  • Mindfulness instruction for medication adherence among adolescents and young adults living with HIV

    Erica M S Sibinga, Erica Sibinga et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2022

    Adolescents and young adults (AYA) 13–24 years old make up a disproportionate 21% of new HIV diagnoses. Unfortunately, they are less likely to treat HIV effectively, with only 30% achieving viral suppression, limiting efforts to interrupt HIV transmission. Previous work with mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) has shown promise for improving treatment in AYA living with HIV (AYALH). This randomized controlled trial compared MBSR with genera…

  • Sex work within emerging Latino immigrant communities

    Suzanne M Grieb, Alejandra Flores-Miller et al.ARTICLECulture Health & Sexuality2022

    Little is known about the organisation and types of sex work emerging urban Latino immigrant communities. To develop a typology of the local sex work industry, we conducted 39 in-depth interviews with foreign-born and US-born Latina female sex workers, Latino immigrant clients, and key informants such as bartenders and brothel managers in Baltimore, Maryland, USA. Interview transcripts were coded through an iterative process, and descriptions of …

  • Factors Associated with Sterile Syringe Acquisition among People Who Inject Drugs in West Virginia

    Sean T Allen, Alyona Mazhnaya et al.ARTICLESubstance Use & Misuse2021

    BACKGROUND: Syringe services programs (SSPs) are evidence-based interventions that provide essential overdose and infectious disease prevention resources to people who inject drugs (PWID). Little research has examined factors associated with sterile syringe acquisition at SSPs among rural PWID populations. OBJECTIVES: We aim to identify factors associated with PWID in a rural county in West Virginia having recently acquired sterile syringes at an…

  • Awareness of and interest in oral pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) for HIV prevention and interest in hypothetical forms of PrEP among people who inject drugs in rural West Virginia

    Kristin E Schneider, Rebecca Hamilton White et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2021

    Injection drug use-associated HIV outbreaks have occurred in rural communities throughout the United States, which often have limited HIV prevention services for people who inject drugs (PWID). Pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) is one tool that may help fill gaps in HIV prevention programing in rural settings. Oral PrEP has been approved for use, and new PrEP formulations are under development. Research is needed to better understand interest in or…

  • Perspectives on Fentanyl Test Strip Use among People Who Inject Drugs in Rural Appalachia

    Sean T Allen, Allison O’Rourke et al.ARTICLESubstance Use & Misuse2020

    Background: Fentanyl-associated overdose fatalities have increased dramatically throughout the United States. Fentanyl test strips (FTS) may be used by people who inject drugs (PWID) to lower overdose risks; however, virtually no research has been conducted to understand the perspectives of rural PWID in Appalachia on FTS utilization. Objectives: We aim to explore FTS awareness and potential use among PWID in two rural counties in West Virginia (…

  • Exploring the role of LGBT-affirming churches in health promotion for Black sexual minority men

    Jordan J White, Derek T Dangerfield et al.ARTICLECulture Health & Sexuality2020

    In the USA, Black sexual minority men (BSMM) remain disproportionately impacted upon by HIV and other sexual health issues. Individuals who attend church have lower rates of morbidity and mortality than those that do not; however, church attendance presents a paradox of being protective for some health outcomes and a risk for others among this population. Lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) affirming churches may offer support, but lit…
