Assessing knowledge, attitudes, and barriers to opioid overdose among college students
Development, Validity, and Acceptability of the Peer Recovery Coach (PRC) Service Checklist for Medication for Opioid Use Disorder (Moud) Support
Objectives Peer recovery support services (PRSS) may enhance medication initiation and treatment outcomes for individuals with Opioid Use Disorder (OUD). However, variability in operationalizing these services complicates systematic evaluation of PRSS interventions. Moreover, patient needs and service availability may vary in rural and urban regions. This study sought to develop a tool to guide peer recovery coaches (PRCs) in supporting treatment…
Predicting mobile health clinic utilization for Covid-19 vaccination in South Carolina
Mobile health clinics (MHCs) are effective tools for providing health services to disadvantaged populations, especially during health emergencies. However, patient utilization of MHC services varies substantially. Strategies to increase utilization are needed to maximize the effectiveness of MHC services by serving more patients in need. The purpose of this study is to develop a statistical framework to identify and prioritize high-risk communiti…
Covid-19 vaccine effectiveness against general Sars-CoV-2 infection from the omicron variant
We aim to estimate the effectiveness of 2-dose and 3-dose mRNA vaccination (BNT162b2 and mRNA-1273) against general Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection (asymptomatic or symptomatic) caused by the omicron BA.1 variant. This propensity-score matched retrospective cohort study takes place in a large public university undergoing weekly Coronavirus Disease 2019 (Covid-19) testing in South Carolina, USA. The populatio…
Association between Initial Opioid Prescription and Patient Pain with Continued Opioid Use among Opioid-Naïve Patients Undergoing Elective Surgery in a Large American Health System
There is growing concern about the over-prescription of opioids and the risks of long-term use. This study examined the relationship between initial need (pre-operative, post-operative, and discharge pain) and dosage of opioids in the first prescription after surgery with continued opioid use through opioid refills over 12 months, while considering patient-level characteristics. A total of 9262 opioid-naïve patients underwent elective surgery, 72…
Implementation of a Rural Community Diagnostic Testing Strategy for Sars-CoV-2 in Upstate South Carolina
By developing a partnership amongst a public university lab, local city government officials and community healthcare providers, we established a drive-through COVID-19 testing site aiming to improve access to SARS-CoV-2 testing in rural Upstate South Carolina. We collected information on symptoms and known exposures of individuals seeking testing to determine the number of pre- or asymptomatic individuals. We completed 71,102 SARS-CoV-2 tests in…
The impact of phased university reopenings on mitigating the spread of Covid-19
Unless highly effective mitigation measures are in place, a reopening with pre-arrival testing substantially reduces peak number of active infections throughout the semester and preserves university resources compared to the simultaneous return of all students to campus. Phased reopenings allow institutions to ensure sufficient resources are in place, improve disease mitigation strategies, or if needed, preemptively move online before the return …
Effect of Continuing Care for Cocaine Dependence on HIV Sex-Risk Behaviors
Treatment choices and subsequent attendance by substance-dependent patients who disengage from intensive outpatient treatment
In an effort to increase engagement in effective treatment, we offered a choice of alternate evidence-based treatments to 137 alcohol- or cocaine-dependent adults (110 males, 27 females) who entered an intensive outpatient program (IOP) but disengaged within the first 8 weeks. We hypothesized that disengaged patients would choose and subsequently attend alternatives to IOP when given the chance, that their choices would be consistent with their p…
