“We Do This Work Together”
Male sex workers performing sex work online face a pervasive amount of stigma and discrimination in their everyday lives. They often resort to coping mechanisms such as information control or selective disclosure but also resist stigma through reframing negative narratives about sex workers. Stigma management and the resistance process have significant implications for male sex workers' physical, mental, and sexual health. Using a sex-positive fe…
Trajectories of spiritual well-being across the first year of the Covid-19 pandemic
Although adverse impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on multiple dimensions of well-being are amply documented, these studies have overlooked the spiritual dimension of well-being. Thus, we know very little about resilience or decline in spiritual well-being or specific contextual factors and coping efforts that might predict distinct trajectories of spiritual well-being. The study characterized trajectories of U.S. adults' spiritual well-being (fai…

Emerging adults in drug treatment court
We compared emerging adults with older adults who were admitted to the Drug Treatment Court (DTC) in a large Midwestern county. Emerging adults were more likely to be lower risk and to be opioid/heroin users. Compared to older adults, emerging adults were more likely to have increased violations in the DTC program. Emerging adults compared to older adults were more likely to be terminated than to graduate with no recidivism (odds ratio 1.83), and…
Social Media Use Early in the Pandemic Predicted Later Social Well-Being and Mental Health in a National Online Sample of Adults in the United States
Social media use increased early in the Covid-19 pandemic, but little information is available about its impact. The present study examined associations of frequency of use of different social media and the motives for use with subsequent social well-being and mental health. Data were gathered on a nationwide sample of 843 Americans during the first wave of lockdowns and infections in mid-April 2020, and again five weeks later. Participants were …
Effects of mindful emotion regulation on parents' loneliness and social support
The COVID-19 pandemic has introduced unprecedented challenges and demands for parents or caregivers of children who experienced disruptions in social support and feelings of isolation. Mindful emotion regulation may be a resilient factor for parents' psychosocial outcomes. Mindful emotion regulation refers to individuals' inherent capacities to regulate emotions mindfully, i.e., through paying attention to one's experiences in the present moment …
Measuring Cumulative Stressfulness
Scales assessing stressor exposure often fail to demonstrate adequate psychometric qualities, demonstrating low interitem reliability or complex factor structures, as would be expected, given that the majority of stressors are independent events. However, in large-scale mass crisis events, the stressors may be highly interrelated, indicating shared experience. Furthermore, few stressor exposure scales also measure appraised stressfulness of those…
Treatment Retention in Opioid Dependent Clients Receiving Medication-Assisted Treatment
Background In the current opioid overdose epidemic, treatment retention among clients receiving medication-assisted treatment (MAT) for opioid dependence is a significant and growing concern among treatment providers, policymakers, and researchers. Methods: We examined a sample of clients enrolled in a federally funded MAT expansion program implemented in four sites in Connecticut. Program participants received MAT for their opioid use disorders …
A latent profile analysis of the Covid-19 Stressors Scale

Psychological resilience early in the Covid-19 pandemic
Spreading rapidly across the United States beginning in the spring of 2020, the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic radically disrupted Americans' lives. Previous studies of community-wide disasters suggested people are fairly resilient and identified resources and strategies that promote that resilience. Yet, the COVID-19 pandemic is in some ways unique, with high levels of uncertainty, evolving implications and restrictions, and varied…
Therapeutic Alliance in Substance Dependence Treatment
As social workers and nurses comprise much of the substance dependence treatment team, it is critical to evaluate how well they perform in a context where they bring different professional orientations and perform different treatment roles. The therapeutic alliance (TA) is one clinical outcome indicator that is potentially predictive of client engagement and retention, two prerequisites for successful treatment. TA in substance dependence treatme…
Americans’ Covid-19 Stress, Coping, and Adherence to CDC Guidelines
Emotional Risks to Respondents in Survey Research
Some survey research has documented distress in respondents with pre-existing emotional vulnerabilities, suggesting the possibility of harm. In this study, respondents were interviewed about a personally distressing event; mood, stress, and emotional reactions were assessed. Two days later, respondents participated in interventions to either enhance or alleviate the effects of the initial interview. Results indicated that distressing interviews i…
Drug Courts
The first drug court was launched in Dade County, Florida, in 1989, and there are now close to 2,500 such courts across the United States (Huddleston & Marlowe, 2011). A drug court is a specific co
Sexual Risk Behavior and Drug Use in Two Chicago Samples of Men Who Have Sex with Men
Developing a Measure of Stigma by Association With African American Adolescents Whose Mothers Have HIV
Objectives: African American urban adolescents are one of the fastest growing groups of children affected by their mother’s HIV status. These children experience HIV stigma by association with their HIV-positive mothers. Stigma may contribute to adverse outcomes for these teens. Methods: The authors describe a multistage process of scale construction, cognitive interviewing, and pilot testing to develop a measure reflecting an African American ad…
Computer Literacy and the Accuracy of Substance Use Reporting in an Acasi Survey
In recent years, audio computer-assisted self-interviews (ACASI) have been demonstrated to increase and presumably improve the quality of drug reporting in epidemiologic research. Surprisingly little research is available, however, regarding the potential limitations of this technique. For example, it is unclear what effects computer literacy may have on the validity of substance use information collected via ACASI. Respondents with limited compu…
Measuring Sexual Risk for HIV
Vicarious Exposure to Terrorist Attacks and Substance Use
Respondent Reactions to Sensitive Questions
WE ADMINISTERED DEBRIEFING PROBES TO gauge respondent discomfort in reaction to sensitive questions. These probes assessed respondents' own reactions to being asked to report on substance use (subjective discomfort), as well as their beliefs about the reaction of others (projective discomfort). We investigated whether a sample of men from the general population were more uncomfortable with questions about drug use than a sample of men who have se…
Race/Ethnicity Differences in the Validity of Self-Reported Drug Use
Effects on Alcohol Use and Anxiety of the September 11, 2001, Attacks and Chronic Work Stressors
Objectives. We hypothesized that chronic stressors associated with an everyday social role (work) would interact with a traumatic macrosocial stressor (the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001) in predicting mental health status (during the fall of 2001). Methods. We used mail surveys returned as part of wave 3 of a workplace cohort study, both before and after September 11, 2001, to assess decision latitude, sexual harassment, generalized wor…
A Longitudinal Assessment of Teacher Perceptions of Parent Involvement in Children's Education and School Performance
This study examines the ways in which parental involvement in children's education changes over time and how it relates to children's social and academic functioning in school. Teachers provided information on parent involvement and school performance for 1,205 urban, kindergarten through third‐grade children for 3 consecutive years. They rated the following four dimensions of parent involvement: frequency of parent‐teacher contact, quality of th…
Family risk factors, parental depression, and psychopathology in offspring
Associations between parents' poor marital adjustment, parent-child discord, affectionless control, low family cohesion, and parental divorce and DSM-III diagnoses were explored in a study of 220 offspring of parents with and without major depression. Implications for the etiology of psychopathology and for analytic strategies are discussed
Sexual harassment and generalized workplace abuse among university employees
OBJECTIVES: This study hypothesized that interpersonal workplace stressors involving sexual harassment and generalized workplace abuse are highly prevalent and significantly linked with mental health outcomes including symptomatic distress, the use and abuse of alcohol, and other drug use. METHODS: Employees in 4 university occupational groups (faculty, student, clerical, and service workers; n = 2492) were surveyed by means of a mailed self-repo…
Diminished Lifetime Substance Use Over Time
This study investigates underreporting of lifetime marijuana and cocaine use in the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth. Comparing responses provided in 1988 with responses provided in 1984, this study evaluates the prevalence and correlates of two indicators of underreporting, including use denial and use reduction. At follow-up in 1988, a high rate of underreporting was evident for both marijuana and cocaine, with rates of use reduction obser…

Inconsistencies in lifetime cocaine and marijuana use reports
We evaluated inconsistencies in responses to questions about lifetime cocaine and marijuana use asked of nearly 10,000 respondents from the United States in the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth in 1984 and 1988. Our analyses showed that 14% of all responses on cocaine use and 17% of all responses on marijuana use were inconsistent in some way. The types of inconsistencies varied according to the substance; cocaine reports yielded more incons…
Can Self-Reported Drug Use Data Be Used to Assess Sex Risk Behavior in Adolescents
Wives' Employment and Husbands' Distress
Previous studies exploring the relationship between wives' employment and husbands' psychological well-being have yielded inconsistent results. Using meta-analysis techniques (Glass, 1977; Rosenthal, 1978), this study combines the results of five earlier studies in order to draw conclusions about their overallfindings. Although the combined effect-size estimates yielded a positive coefficient, the nonsignificance of this coefficient indicates tha…

Childhood abuse and the use of inhalants
OBJECTIVES: Using two existing ethnographic studies of drug-involved adults, this study evaluates the association between child-abuse victimization and levels of involvement in inhalant use. METHODS: Historical accounts of childhood exposure to physical or sexual abuse were compared among nonusers of inhalants (n = 197), light inhalant users (n = 64), and heavy inhalant users (n = 24). Crude and adjusted odds ratios were used to compare informant…

Screening for Depressive Disorder in Children and Adolescents
The utility of the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale for Children (CES-DC), a modified version of the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale, was explored in a sample of children, adolescents, and young adults at high or low risk for depression according to their parents' diagnosis. Proband parents were participants in the Yale Family Study of Major Depression who had children between the ages of 6 and 23 years. Diagnos…
Family risk factors, parental depression, and psychopathology in offspring
Associations between parents' poor marital adjustment, parent-child discord, affectionless control, low family cohesion, and parental divorce and DSM-III diagnoses were explored in a study of 220 offspring of parents with and without major depression. Implications for the etiology of psychopathology and for analytic strategies are discussed
Institutionahzation and parole behavior
Using statistical controls for selection bias, the present study evaluates the relative impact of institutional and noninstitutional programs on two indicators of parole behavior, parole maladjustment and parole violations. Multiple regression models assessing program effects included individual and family predictors of parole behavior identified in previous literature. Placement in alternative programs was inversely associated with both parole o…
From Bag Brides to Skeezers
There are many ways that women support their use of crack cocaine, including sex-for-crack bartering and other forms of prostitution. Empirical studies conducted in the mid-1970s and in the mid-1980s in New York City, and in Chicago in the late 1980s to early 1990s are compared, analyzing similarities and differences between the contemporary crack-prostitution scene and previous prostitution scenes. Findings suggest that the arrival of crack coca…
Longitudinal measurement of substance use in ethnographic samples
Using data from two samples of drug users, this study addresses several related methodological issues in longitudinal, ethnographic research. We evaluated the consistency of individual drug use reports over 8 weeks. We also observed and compared trends in reports of drug use over the same time period. Individual consistency in drug use reports varied according to type of substance and type of measure reported on. In general, individuals were more…

Drug Use by Homicide Offenders
This article uses data derived from interviews with 268 homicide offenders incarcerated in New York State correctional facilities to examine their drug use prior to and at the time of the homicide, and their perceptions as to whether and how the homicides were related to their drug use. Most respondents who used a drug were not hard-core users of that drug. About one in five of the respondents could be considered polydrug abusers. Thirty percent …
