Co-use of opioids and cannabis versus single-substance use
Background: While many studies have explored the relationship between cannabis and opioid use, few have examined how individuals who use opioids only, cannabis only, or both substances differ in terms of sociodemographic and health-related characteristics. Understanding these differences may support the development of clinical and public health strategies addressing substance use patterns. Methods: We analyzed data from the 2015-2022 National Sur…
Exploring Polysubstance Use with a Data Mining Approach in Individuals with and without Mental Health Conditions
Polysubstance use is widespread among individuals who use drugs in the U.S. and can result in serious consequences. This study aims to understand frequent polysubstance use patterns among U.S. adults and compare these patterns between individuals with and without mental health (MH) conditions. Using data from the National Survey on Drug Use and Health for 2019-2022, we identified individuals who used one of ten substances in the past year. We the…
Spatiotemporal Analysis of Fentanyl-Associated Overdose Deaths in Chicago, IL, USA
Overdose deaths involving fentanyl represent a major public health crisis in the USA. This study investigates the spatiotemporal dynamics of fentanyl-involved deaths before, during, and after the COVID-19 pandemic and examines how sociodemographic factors influence these deaths across geographic regions. Using a retrospective ecological approach, we analyzed data on ZIP code-level fentanyl-related deaths in Cook County, IL, between 2018 and 2023,…
A sampling strategy for longitudinal and cross-sectional analyses using a large national claims database
Importance: The United States (US) Medicare claims files are valuable sources of national healthcare utilization data with over 45 million beneficiaries each year. Due to their massive sizes and costs involved in obtaining the data, a method of randomly drawing a representative sample for retrospective cohort studies with multi-year follow-up is not well-documented. Objective: To present a method to construct longitudinal patient samples from Med…
Neighborhood-level factors associated with Covid-19 vaccination rates
Though access to needed primary care and community-belonging are correlated with vaccination rates, this association was not significant when controlling for demographic factors. The association between poverty, race and vaccination status remained significant, indicating that socioeconomic and racial disparities across Chicago drive Covid-19 vaccine recommendation adherence regardless of care access. Understanding how poverty, and its intersecti…
Characteristics of Cannabis and Opioid Users Among Older U.S. Veterans and Their Health Outcomes
Medical cannabis use among U.S. Veterans has continued to rise. However, data on cannabis use by older Veterans is generally less available. This study aims to understand the characteristics of older Veterans who enrolled in the Medical Cannabis Patient Program in Illinois and analyze their health outcomes and co-use of cannabis and opioids using longitudinal survey data. Overall, participants reported positive outcomes for pain, sleep, and emoti…
When does foreign direct investment lead to inclusive growth
Foreign direct investment (FDI) is widely considered among the most effective instruments for the promotion of economic development. However, not all FDI leads to inclusive economic growth, lifting the welfare of the poorest groups. This paper examines the conditions under which FDI can effectively lead to inclusive growth. By using a fixed effects regression with annual data for 67 countries from 1990 to 2015, we find that FDI has a positive eff…
Spatial clustering of heroin-related overdose incidents
Our study showed that the opioid epidemic disproportionately affected Cincinnati. Multi-phased spatial clustering models based on various data sources can be useful to identify areas that require more policy attention and targeted interventions to alleviate high heroin-related overdose rates
Weeding Out the Stigma
Many U.S. Veterans are using cannabis for medical purposes. Modern research findings continue to point to medical cannabis as a potentially effective alternative to prescription medications for treating a range of medical conditions. While research exists on the use levels of cannabis, limited research can be found on the perceived stigma of using cannabis, especially among older Veterans. We surveyed 121 older U.S. Veterans who were enrolled in …
Use of cannabis and opioids for chronic pain by older adults
Disparities in the Use of Diabetes Screening in Appalachia
PURPOSE: The Appalachian region presents disproportionately high rates of chronic disease compared to the rest of the United States. Early diagnosis of diabetes through screening is an important step in reducing diabetes complications. This study examines disparities in the use of diabetes screening in Appalachia. METHODS: We analyzed 2009 and 2010 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System data for 96,111 adults aged ≥45 years from 11 Appalachia…
