  • An investigation of school-related variables as risk and protective factors associated with problematic substance use among vulnerable urban adolescents

    Rebecca C Trenz, Eugene M Dunne et al.ARTICLEVulnerable Children and Youth…2015References: 3

    Research has shown that early initiation of substance abuse has negative impacts on school performance and is predictive of substance abuse in adulthood. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the association between school-related variables and problematic substance use among adolescents in an urban setting. Adolescent participants (M age = 16.26, SD = 2.10; 65.3% male; 70.2% African-American) completed face-to-face interviews consisting o…

  • Perceived Barriers to Treatment in a Community-Based Sample of Illicit-Drug-Using African American Men and Women

    Larry Keen, Larry Keen II et al.ARTICLEJournal of Psychoactive Drugs2014

    This study examines perceived substance use treatment barriers in a community-based sample of 267 African Americans from Baltimore, MD. Both men and women endorsed "they can handle it alone" as a primary reason they were not currently in treatment. However, men were two times more likely (AOR = 2.29 CI = 1.05, 5.02) to endorse "concerns about losing family" as the reason they are not currently in treatment. The present study yields interesting fi…

  • Knowledge of HIV transmission through breast milk among drug-dependent pregnant women

    Julia Zur, Eugene M Dunne et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2012

    The current study examined the correlates of knowledge about human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) transmission through breast milk among drug-dependent pregnant women. There is a tremendous need to examine the knowledge about HIV transmission through breastfeeding among this largely understudied, but high-risk subset of pregnant women in order to minimize the extent to which they pass HIV to their children after giving birth. Participants included …

  • Desistance from problematic alcohol use without treatment among active heroin and cocaine users

    Michael Scherer, Rebecca C Trenz et al.ARTICLEAddiction Research & Theory2012

    Previous literature has examined natural remission rates from problematic drinking in the general population, but not in heroin and cocaine users. This study is a cross-sectional, retrospective study of the baseline data from the Baltimore site of the NEURO-HIV Epidemiologic Study focusing on self-reported substance use. It is one of the first efforts to identify levels of drinking severity and natural recovery in this population and explores pos…

  • Factors related to past HIV testing among South African non-injection drug users

    Lauren R Ropelewski, Alicia Hulbert et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2011

    South Africa has some of the highest estimates of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) in the world, with a prevalence of 21.5%. Despite this, based on population-level data, 39% of sexually active South Africans have never been tested for HIV. Non-injection drug users (NIDUs) are a high-risk and increasingly prevalent group in South Africa. However, few studies have examined HIV test utilization among high-risk groups such as drug users in South A…

  • Unprotected casual sex and perceived risk of contracting HIV among drug users in Baltimore, Maryland

    Miaisha M Mitchell, Mary M Mitchell et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2009

    The purpose of this study was to assess the relative importance and interactive effects of drug use status (i.e. injection or non-injection drug user) and condom use with casual partners in predicting perceived risk of contracting HIV among drug users in Baltimore, Maryland. Baseline data was used from the longitudinal NEURO-HIV Epidemiological Study. This battery of questionnaires assessed a variety of demographic, drug use and sex risk variable…

  • Assessment of Biodiversity at the Local Scale for Environmental Impact Assessment and Land-use Planning

    Open AccessWilliam W Latimer, William LatimerARTICLEPlanning Practice and Research2009

    This paper examines approaches to biodiversity assessment for environmental impact assessment in the context of an increasing emphasis on the conservation of biodiversity beyond the confines of protected sites, and the role of ecosystem services in sustainable development. The paper argues that while the matrix approach adopted in the UK for environmental impact assessment has some value in providing a consistent national framework, for ecologica…

  • Peer and sibling substance use

    Open AccessWilliam W Latimer, William Latimer et al.ARTICLERevista Panamericana de Salud…2004

    Consistent with extant findings among youth in the United States of America, peer and sibling substance use are major risk factors for substance use among school-based youth in Mexico. Students in Mexico may benefit from prevention strategies found to be effective among students in the United States
