  • Developing PeerLink to engage out-of-care HIV+ substance users

    Hannah Wolfe, Hannah E Wolfe et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2013

    Substance use among HIV+ individuals can be a barrier to HIV care, resulting in poor health outcomes. Motivational interviewing (MI) is an effective intervention to reduce substance abuse and increase HIV-related health. Healthcare workers from various backgrounds can be effectively trained in delivering MI interventions; however, there has been limited evidence that peers can effectively deliver MI interventions with fidelity. Peers have traditi…

  • Relationship of axis II pathology to sex- and drug-related risk behaviors among patients in HIV primary care

    Howard Newville, Deborah L HallerARTICLEAIDS Care2012

    Some HIV+ patients continue to engage in high-risk behaviors post-diagnosis. To tailor risk reduction interventions for "positives," it is necessary to understand contributing factors. We recently showed that HIV+ patients with co-morbid Axis I psychiatric and substance use disorders had the highest rates of ongoing risk behavior and those without diagnoses the lowest; substance dependence was more impactful than psychiatric disorders. In this co…

Significant group differences were observed for having multiple sex partners, condo…

Data is provided on family functioning in three areas: current family, family of origin, and love/partner relationship, and at six time points up to 24 months postdischarge. Standard family assessment measures, including the Self-Report Family Inventory (SFI) and Family-of-Ori…

  • Predictors of In-Treatment Relapse in Perinatal Substance Abusers and Impact on Treatment Retention

    Karen S Ingersoll, Karen Ingersoll et al.ARTICLEJournal of Psychoactive Drugs1995

    This prospective study investigated in-treatment relapse in a sample of perinatal substance abusers in intensive outpatient treatment. Sixty-four female first-time admissions to a perinatal treatment program completed comprehensive psychological and psychosocial assessment before beginning treatment. Relapse was detected by urine toxicology screening and self-report. A regression analysis resulted in variable reduction, then survival analysis ide…
