Pathways from violence exposure to medication non-adherence
In the current study, we examine associations between exposure to violence and antiretroviral medication adherence in persons with HIV (PWH) in a southern city in the United States. We include investigation of a variety of violence exposures including childhood sexual abuse, physical abuse, witnessing family violence, lifetime violence exposures and current stress related to violence experiences, as well as neighborhood violence exposure.

Recent Alcohol Use Influences Associations between Cortisol Levels and Negative Affect
Life Course Stressors, Latent Coping Strategies, Alcohol Use, and Adherence among People with HIV
People with HIV (PWH) have often experienced chronic stressors across their lifespan, including adverse childhood experiences (ACES), lifetime economic hardship (LEH), and concurrent stressors associated with living in urban areas (urban stress). Prolonged exposure to stressors might result in differential coping patterns among PWH that can impact care trajectories. We utilized a life course-informed approach to examine chronic stressors as antec…
The Impact of Childhood Adversity on Life Course Alcohol Use Patterns and Health Status Among People Living with HIV
Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) and financial hardship are associated with increased likelihood of heavier alcohol use and health challenges in adulthood among persons living with HIV (PWH).

Childhood economic hardship and ACEs were used as main predictors. Measures of…
Pilot Study of the Adaptation of an Alcohol, Tobacco, and Illicit Drug Use Intervention for Vulnerable Urban Young Adults

We pilot-tested the feasibility of a behavioral intervention to reduce alcohol, tobacco, and illicit drug use among urban young adults in New Orleans, Louisiana. Study Design: The 12-week intervention pilot pr…
