“It's more than just being in a place, it's more like a peace of mind”
Navigating pathways from temporary hotel shelters to permanent housing during California’s Covid-19 response
The Operation Safer Ground (OSG) program leveraged newly available funding and vacancies in motels and hotels to house people experiencing homelessness (PEH), protecting them from COVID-19 and facilitating transitions into permanent housing. Little information exists about the experience of program staff and residents in the search for permanent housing. Using qualitative interviews with residents and staff members, we explore the experience of n…
Creating “Safer Ground”
Our findings highlight that when key elements such as cross-sector collaboration, engaged leadership, and flexible funding align, significant progress can be made in providing housing and integrated medical, behavioral, and social services for PEH with complex needs
The complexities of ‘trust’ in the context of Covid-19 vaccination choices among Black women in Alameda County, CA
Many academic and media conversations about COVID-19 vaccination center on lower uptake among racially minoritized individuals due to what is characterized as 'mistrust.' In 'Is trust enough? Anti-Black racism and the perception of Black vaccine hesitancy,' Wilson argues that questioning Black people's trust in the COVID-19 vaccine fails to 'understand Black people as rational, complex beings who are fit to make reasonable decisions guided by com…

Decreased homelessness among women involved in the criminal legal system after a Covid-19 housing intervention
The COVID-19 outbreak fueled unprecedented public health efforts to mitigate the spread of infection, including rapid provision of non-congregate housing to people experiencing homelessness. People on community supervision (criminal probation or parole) have high levels of homelessness due to housing discrimination, poverty and racism, and are among the groups most vulnerable to COVID-19. We examined housing status in a cohort of women with proba…

Abnormal Pap Follow-Up among Criminal-Legal Involved Women in Three U.S. Cities
Criminal-legal involved women experience significant barriers to preventive cervical care, and consequently there is a higher incidence of cervical cancer in this population. The purpose of this study is to identify variables that may facilitate abnormal Pap follow-up among criminal-legal involved women living in community settings. The study included n = 510 women with criminal-legal histories, from three U.S. cities-Birmingham, AL; Kansas City,…
Health and Health Service Needs
Objectives: We profiled the health and health services needs of a sample of older adult women (age 50+) with criminal-legal system (CLS) involvement and compared them with younger women (age 18-49), also CLS-involved. Methods : Using survey data collected from January to June 2020 from adult women with CLS involvement in three US cities, we profiled and compared the older adult women with younger women on behavioral and structural risk factors, h…
Criminal Justice–Involved Women Navigate Covid-19
In March–April, 2020, we communicated with a cohort of criminal justice–involved (CJI) women to see how they were navigating COVID-19, chronic illness, homelessness, and shelter-in-place orders in Oakland, Birmingham, and Kansas City. We report on conversations with N = 35 women (out of the cohort of 474 women) and our own observations from ongoing criminal justice involvement studies. Women reported barriers to protecting themselves given widesp…
Sexual Risk and Criminal Justice Involvement Among Women Who Use Drugs
Structural Vulnerability and Supplemental Security Income
Supplemental Security Income (SSI) is a United States federal welfare program examined here as emblematic of the sociostructural configurations of welfare-related deservingness and punitive governance within social welfare. We operationalize Quesada, Hart, and Bourgois' (2011) framework of structural vulnerability to ethnographically examine people's experience with applying for and receiving SSI in the context of a mixed-method intervention stud…

Health service use and social vulnerability in a community-based sample of women on probation and parole, 2011–2013
Most women involved in the criminal justice system are not incarcerated, but rather on probation or parole. We examined the receipt of health services and social vulnerability among women on parole or probation in the past year. In a community-based sample of 776 women who use crack cocaine or injection drugs, we compared those who had been on probation or parole in the past year with those who had no criminal justice involvement in the past year…

Spatial Analysis of HIV Positive Injection Drug Users in San Francisco, 1987 to 2005
Spatial analyses of HIV/AIDS related outcomes are growing in popularity as a tool to understand geographic changes in the epidemic and inform the effectiveness of community-based prevention and treatment programs. The Urban Health Study was a serial, cross-sectional epidemiological study of injection drug users (IDUs) in San Francisco between 1987 and 2005 (N = 29,914). HIV testing was conducted for every participant. Participant residence was ge…

Non-Partner Violence Against Women Who Use Drugs in San Francisco
This article examines non-partner violence among women who use methamphetamine (N = 322), recruited in an inner-city neighborhood of San Francisco. The combined prevalence of non-partner physical or sexual violence in the past 6 months was 28%, roughly equal to the prevalence of partner violence (26%). In multivariate analysis, factors associated with non-partner violence included frequent subsistence difficulty (adjusted odds ratio [AOR] = 2.43,…

What's Faith Got to Do with It? Religiosity Among Women Who Use Methamphetamine
Religiosity is not found to be consistently protective in mental health and substance use outcomes among illicit drug users. This study examines the association between religiosity, mental health and drug use among a community-recruited sample of women who use methamphetamine. The majority of the sample (74%) had high scores of religious faith. In multivariate analysis, those with high scores had higher odds of self-reporting a mental health diag…
Sexual pleasure and sexual risk among women who use methamphetamine
Impact of law enforcement on syringe exchange programs
Drug paraphernalia and prescription laws make syringe exchange programs (SEPs) illegal in most states in the U.S. Nonetheless, SEPs have been started in 25 states and the District of Columbia as of September 1995. In some states like California and New Jersey, SEPs have operated despite police arrest of volunteers and clients. We examine the impact of police action and threat on SEPs by comparing an underground syringe exchange site (SES) in West…
Sexual and Injection Risk among Women who Inject Methamphetamine in San Francisco
Comparing Respondent-Driven Sampling and Targeted Sampling Methods of Recruiting Injection Drug Users in San Francisco
The objective of this article is to compare demographic characteristics, risk behaviors, and service utilization among injection drug users (IDUs) recruited from two separate studies in San Francisco in 2005, one which used targeted sampling (TS) and the other which used respondent-driven sampling (RDS). IDUs were recruited using TS (n = 651) and RDS (n = 534) and participated in quantitative interviews that included demographic characteristics, …

The Impact of Legalizing Syringe Exchange Programs on Arrests Among Injection Drug Users in California
Aids prevention for intravenous drug users in the community
Conducted a study of behavior change associated with a street-based AIDS education project targeted to intravenous (IV) drug users in San Francisco. Two cross-sections were sampled from drug detoxification clinics and street locations in 1986 (n = 438) and 1987 (n = 623). Significant increases were reported in the percentage of IV drug users who used bleach to decontaminate syringes, who did not share needles in past year, and in condom use. A si…
Predictors and Prevention of Nonfatal Overdose Among Street-Recruited Injection Heroin Users in the San Francisco Bay Area, 1998–1999
Objectives. This study sought to determine prevalence of and risk factors for nonfatal recent overdose among street-recruited injection heroin users. Methods. From August 1998 through July 1999, 1427 heroin injectors were recruited from 6 inner-city neighborhoods in the San Francisco Bay Area, Calif, and interviewed. Factors hypothesized to be associated with recent overdose were analyzed with logistic regression. Results. Of the 1427 participant…
