Predictors of intentional fentanyl use
Opioid overdose in the age of fentanyl
“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…
HIV Prevalence, Risk Behavior, Knowledge, and Beliefs Among Women Seeking Care at a Sexually Transmitted Infection Clinic in Mumbai, India
Three hundred women presenting to a sexually transmitted infection (STI) clinic in Mumbai, India were surveyed and HIV tested. Thirty-nine percent were HIV infected; 80% were current sex workers, and HIV infection was not significantly associated with past-year sex work. Only 44% always used condoms with their noncommercial sex partners. Most believed that condom preparation is a male responsibility (58%); that condom use is a sign that partner t…
Smokers With Behavioral Health Comorbidity Should Be Designated a Tobacco Use Disparity Group
Smokers with co-occurring mental illness or substance use disorders are not designated a disparity group or priority population by most national public health and tobacco control groups. These smokers fulfill the criteria commonly used to identify groups that merit special attention: targeted marketing by the tobacco industry, high smoking prevalence rates, heavy economic and health burdens from tobacco, limited access to treatment, and longer du…
Impact of adherence counseling dose on antiretroviral adherence and HIV viral load among HIV-infected methadone maintained drug users
Adherence counseling can improve antiretroviral adherence and related health outcomes in HIV-infected individuals. However, little is known about how much counseling is necessary to achieve clinically significant effects. We investigated antiretroviral adherence and HIV viral load relative to the number of hours of adherence counseling received by 60 HIV-infected drug users participating in a trial of directly observed antiretroviral therapy deli…
Self-efficacy and depression as mediators of the relationship between pain and antiretroviral adherence
The goals of this study were to examine the association between pain and antiretroviral adherence and to estimate the mediating effect of adherence self-efficacy and depression symptom severity. Surveys using audio computer-assisted self-interview were conducted among 70 HIV-infected current and former drug users enrolled in a methadone program. We assessed antiretroviral adherence and adherence self-efficacy using questions from the Adult Clinic…
Abuse, Social Support, and Depression Among HIV-Positive Heterosexual, Bisexual, and Lesbian Women
A nonprobability sample of HIV-positive mostly African American and Puerto Rican women in New York City were surveyed regarding abusive experiences, social support, and depressive symptoms. Seventy-five percent reported experiencing physical or sexual abuse at some point in their lives. Multiple regression analyses controlling for relevant sociodemographic variables indicated that child physical and sexual abuse and adult sexual abuse were signif…
Stressors and strengths among women living with HIV/Aids in New York City
We conducted face-to-face interviews with a non-probability sample of 373 women living with HIV/AIDS in New York City. Most were indigent African-Americans and Latinas (M age = 39.61 years). Participants reported considerable stressors. For example, 59% (n = 221) had been sexually abused and 69% (n = 258) physically abused at some point in their lives. In the past 30 days, 9% reported having injected drugs. However, participants also reported con…
