A hybrid mixed methods design for understanding decision making, social structure, and network dynamics of life course transitions
Mental Health Care Barriers for Women Involved in the Criminal Legal System With Substance Use Disorders
This study investigated barriers to accessing mental health care among criminal-legal involved women with opioid use disorder (OUD) by triangulating perspectives across affected women ( n = 20), criminal legal professionals ( n = 10), and substance use disorder (SUD) treatment professionals ( n = 12). Themes from qualitative interviews conducted in 2022 identified two primary types of barriers: physical access and stigma. Findings converged regar…

The Role of Child Maltreatment and Revictimization on Substance Use Trajectories Among Women Involved in the Criminal Justice System
We explored the mechanisms underlying the relationship between trauma in childhood and adulthood and substance use initiation and recovery from opioid use disorder (OUD). We triangulated the perspectives of 20 women with current/previous OUD and 22 criminal legal and drug treatment professionals. Themes centered around the long-term effects of unaddressed childhood trauma, family- and partner-based trauma across the life course, sexual trauma, an…
Community responses and adaptations following the closure of a rural pharmacy and primary care facility
PURPOSE: This study investigates the experiences of one rural community in Central Pennsylvania following the closure of its singular pharmacy and primary health care facility. It aims to understand community members' responses and adaptations to declining health care accessibility and broader implications for rural health policy and practice. METHODS: Employing a qualitative case study design, researchers conducted 26 in-depth interviews from Ma…
The benefits and potential biases of lived experience in substance use treatment services
Research points to the value of shared lived experience in opioid use disorder (OUD) treatment, but most focuses solely on professionals in designated peer support (PS) roles. Drawing on in-depth interviews with 20 women with OUD and 6 treatment professionals in recovery working outside of designated PS roles, this manuscript examines the support and bias which providers with lived experience may convey to patients. Women with OUD emphasized the …
Physical Accessibility Barriers to Medications for Opioid Use Disorder Treatment
Introduction The opioid overdose crisis necessitates the development of effective treatment and harm reduction practices. Recent increases in opioid use disorder (OUD) and overdose rates among women in tandem with lower medications for opioid use disorder (MOUD) treatment utilization rates make a case for investigating the barriers faced by women with OUD in accessing MOUD treatment. To inform future interventions, this study examines factors tha…
The loss of rural vital places
Healthy food sources, recreational facilities, and social spaces serve as vital places for supporting health. Less is known about what happens when vital places are lost, especially in rural contexts that have experienced disinvestment and population decline. In this paper we use a case study of a small rural community in Pennsylvania that lost a substantial share of its vital places over a short period of time to explore the experiences of local…

The Avoidance of Strong Ties
Theorists have proposed that a value of close friends and family-strong ties-is the ability to confide in them when facing difficult issues. But close relationships are complicated, and recent studies report that people sometimes avoid strong ties when facing personal issues. How common is such avoidance? The question speaks to theoretical debates over the nature of "closeness" and practical concerns over social isolation. We develop an approach …
When Mamaw Becomes Mom
Amid the opioid crisis, the number of kinship families—or children living with relatives—has risen dramatically, particularly in rural communities. Using in-depth interviews with relative caregivers and local legal actors in Appalachian Kentucky, I consider how rural kinship families are formed. I demonstrate how relatives’ experiences depend on the social capital they hold with local legal actors who regulate kinship care. Whether a relative pos…
Dacamented in the age of deportation
Heightened immigration enforcement in public spaces has brightened the boundaries of exclusion for undocumented immigrants in the United States. Yet, these immigrants simultaneously experience belonging and inclusion within the personal and social spheres of their lives. This article explores this tension among young people with Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA). Drawing on interviews with 408 DACA beneficiaries in six states, our ana…
