This emerging pattern of use has resulted in a marked increase in overdose deaths across the United States (US). [1][2] Due to unregulated drug supplies, the risk of encountering synthetic opioid adulterants and unintentional overdose …
What Would Equitable Harm Reduction Look Like

To do so, government and organizational polici…

Correlates of Perceived Discrimination Related to Substance Use Disorders Among Patients in Methadone Maintenance Treatment
This study sought to examine demographic, treatment-related, and diagnosis-related correlates of substance use disorder (SUD)-related perceived discrimination among patients receiving methadone maintenance treatment (MMT). Participants were 164 patients at nonprofit, low-barrier-to-treatment-access MMT programs. Participants completed measures of demographics, diagnosis-related characteristics (Brief Symptom Inventory (BSI-18) and Depressive Expe…
Depression and/or PTSD Comorbidity Affects Response to Antidepressants in Those With Alcohol Use Disorder

The comparative effects of noradrenergic vs. serotonergic antidepressants on drinking and depressive outcomes for those with AUD and co-occurring depression and/or PTSD are not well known. Methods: This study was an analysis of a randomized control trial of 128 patients with AUD who had co-occurring depression and/or PTSD. They were ra…
Perceived barriers to access care, anticipated discrimination and structural vulnerability among African Americans with substance use disorders
BACKGROUND: The application of the structural vulnerability construct in medicine addresses social structures as the source of health inequities. Evidence demonstrates structural vulnerability as the meta-problem that underlie health disparities faced by underrepresented minorities who are less likely to access care and face stigma for substance use disorders (SUDs). OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study is to assess perceived vulnerability at t…
