Results from a peer recovery coach-delivered future orientation intervention for returning citizens in substance use treatment: Feasibility and preliminary outcomes
INTRODUCTION: Returning citizens with substance use disorders (SUD) make numerous decisions that involve engaging in behaviors with short-term, immediate rewards (i.e. the pleasurable effects of returning to use) relative to those with longer-term, but delayed, benefits (i.e. engaging in treatment), often in the context of resource-poor and unstable environments. Successful navigation of the reentry period may require making future-oriented decis…
“Heal together”: A randomized, hybrid type 1 effectiveness-implementation trial protocol of a peer-delivered behavioral activation intervention to improve methadone treatment retention
Background Although medications exist to effectively treat opioid use disorder (OUD), treatment retention is a pressing challenge. Peer recovery specialists (PRSs) may play an important role in OUD treatment retention, yet few evidence-based interventions to support OUD retention have been developed specifically for PRS delivery. Behavioral activation is a brief, reinforcement-based intervention with empirical support for improving depression and…

A pilot trial of behavioural activation with a contingency management component: Preliminary examination of changes in smoking and alternative rewards among low‐income individuals
The heaviest smoking and burden of tobacco‐related illness occurs among low‐income individuals. Using a behavioural economics framework, this non‐randomised pilot study examined the preliminary efficacy of behavioural activation (BA) with a contingency management (CM) component designed to encourage continued use of BA skills and reductions in cigarettes smoked. Eighty‐four participants were recruited from a community centre. Data were collected …

We bounce back from the worst of the worst: Assets of Flint-area women identified in the Flint Women’s Study
Economically disadvantaged communities experience disproportionate health and social challenges relative to more affluent areas. This study describes ways women support and give back to their community in a minority-majority community experiencing social, economic and health challenges. We conducted qualitative interviews with 100 women and human service providers serving women in Flint, Genesee County, Michigan. Using methods aligned with commun…
Inequitable Housing Practices and Youth Internalizing Symptoms: Mediation Via Perceptions of Neighborhood Cohesion
Disordered urban environments negatively impact mental health symptoms and disorders. While many aspects of the built environment have been studied, one influence may come from inequitable, discriminatory housing practices such as redlining, blockbusting, and gentrification. The patterns of disinvestment and reinvestment that follow may be an underlying mechanism predicting poor mental health. In this study, we examine pathways between such pract…

Belonging to Something Greater Than Self: Flint Women Giving Back to the Community
Women served their community in many roles. However, despite some societal progress, women continue to be underpaid and their contributions undervalued. Rectifying these inequities might contribute to better addressing the needs of women

Peer Influence during Adolescence: The Moderating Role of Parental Support
Although many studies show that peers influence the development of adolescent internalizing and externalizing difficulties, few have considered both internalizing and externalizing difficulties in the same study, and fewer have considered the contributions of parents. Using a longitudinal sample of 385 adolescents, the contributions of best friends' internalizing and externalizing difficulties (as assessed in Grade 6; G6: M age = 13.64 years; 53%…
The Indirect Effects of Trait Anxiety on Drug Use Via Emotion Dysregulation in a Low-Income Sample
Background: Research has demonstrated consistent associations between anxiety and illicit drug use. However, few studies to date have examined the shared risk factors that may contribute to this common comorbidity. Therefore, the current investigation tested the indirect effect of trait anxiety on drug use disorder symptoms via emotion dysregulation, a widely recognized transdiagnostic risk factor found to be relevant across both anxiety and illi…
Intersectionality, special populations, needs and suggestions: The Flint Women’s study
Efforts directed towards improving women's health and wellbeing should include perspectives and suggestions of diverse groups of women from the community. Acting on suggestions that emanate from the community's lived experiences may reduce inequalities in health and wellbeing

Perceptions about marital conflict: Individual, dyadic, and family level effects
Husbands and wives often provide different reports about the qualities of their relationship-a pattern of reporting that is often discounted as measurement error. In the present study, we tested three research questions related to perceptions of marital conflict in a sample of 123 married couples. First, we tested whether individual and partner attachment and depressive symptoms were associated with reports of conflict. Then, we examined whether …
A Longitudinal Study of Cognitive Risks for Depressive Symptoms in Children and Young Adolescents
Youths with high ( N = 52) or low cognitive vulnerability ( N = 48) for depression were selected from a larger sample ( N = 515) of students (7-10 years old), based on their attributional style (AS), negative cognitions (NC), and/or self-competence (SC). Long-term effects of cognitive vulnerabilities on depressive symptoms were examined in a 3-year, three-wave, multiinformant, longitudinal design. Three findings emerged. First, some empirical ove…
