I can objectively view my trauma without feeling like I'm there”
Introduction While the relationship between substance use disorders (SUD) and mental health conditions is well established, treatment for these co-occurring conditions is difficult to manage. Research on the potential for psychedelic treatments to address SUD and mental health conditions has recently seen a resurgence. This study aimed to explore narratives on the influence of psychedelics on mental health needs among people who use opioids. Meth…
Latent Classes of Lifetime Use of Seven Hallucinogens in the United States
Interest in and use of hallucinogens appears to be growing in the United States, yet less is known about the use of multiple hallucinogens. The aims of this study are to characterize subgroups of lifetime hallucinogen use and to identify sociodemographic correlates of these subgroups. Latent class models were fit using 2021-2022 National Survey on Drug Use and Health (NSDUH) data on a sub-sample of individuals who reported having ever used any ha…
Situations and roles of cannabis versus cigarette use
Housing Instability Associated with Return to Stimulant Use among Previously Abstaining Women
Stimulant use among unstably housed individuals is associated with increased risks of psychiatric co-morbidity, violence, HIV transmission, and overdose. Due to a lack of highly effective treatments, evidence-based policies targeting the prevention of stimulant use disorder are of critical importance. However, little empirical evidence exists on risks associated with initiating or returning to stimulant use among at-risk populations. In a longitu…
THC-O-Acetate
There is a growing interest in semi-synthetic cannabinoids, including THC-O-acetate (THC-Oac). Some cannabis marketers and users have claimed that THC-Oac produces psychedelic effects; the current study is the first to examine this claim. Researchers developed an online survey for THC-Oac consumers based on previous cannabis and psychedelic use surveys and in consultation with the moderator of an online forum. The survey assessed the experiential…
Fentanyl in Pressed Oxycodone Pills
OBJECTIVES: There is a growing concern over the increased prevalence of fentanyl contaminated oxycodone pills, referred to as M30s. The current study is an examination of content on the Reddit social media site in order to understand the perceptions of and experiences with exposure to fentanyl contaminated M30 pills. METHODS: Data include subreddit posts collected from January 1, 2021, to July 28, 2021, from 71 drug-related subreddits using 34 fe…
Types and Sources of Stigma on Opioid Use Treatment and Recovery Communities on Reddit
Background: Digitally-mediated peer support may improve opioid use disorder (OUD) recovery. Our objective was to examine the types and sources of stigma that people seek support for in online OUD recovery communities (subreddits) on Reddit. Methods: We extracted all posts containing stigma keywords from three subreddits as well as a random sample that do not contain stigma keywords. We conducted deductive content analysis to confirm that the post…

Condomless Sex and Psychiatric Comorbidity in the Context of Constrained Survival Choices
Associations between medical cannabis and other drug use among unstably housed women
Researcher Perspectives on Disclosure of Incidental Findings in Genetic Research
Genetic research can produce information that is beyond the aims of the research study yet may be of clinical or personal interest to study participants. We conducted semi-structured interviews with 44 researchers who were asked to describe how they would respond to a hypothetical vignette regarding the disclosure of findings with unanticipated clinical significance to research study participants. Interviews were transcribed and analyzed using co…
