“They don’t think much of you if you’re using”
BACKGROUND: In Australia, methamphetamine ('ice') use has been framed as a major social problem, contributing to punitive policy responses and ongoing criminalisation through which stigma is enacted. Although smoking is the predominant route of use, little is known about how people who smoke methamphetamine experience stigma. METHODS: In-depth interviews were conducted with nine people with histories of smoking methamphetamine, no lifetime histor…

Evaluating implementation by rural clinics of evidence‐based interventions to promote HPV vaccination
PURPOSE: Despite the well-established link between vaccination against human papillomavirus (HPV) and a decreased risk of cancer, HPV vaccine uptake in rural communities is low. Evidence-based interventions (EBIs) to promote HPV vaccination exist but are not universally implemented in rural settings due to various challenges. To understand the support needed by rural clinics in implementing EBIs, the University of Iowa partnered with the American…
Experiences of participation in a longitudinal cohort study of people who inject drugs in Victoria, Australia
Aim: Longitudinal cohort studies are important for understanding the social and health trajectories of people who inject drugs. Little research exists, however, about the motivations, challenges, and experiences of participation in these studies.Methods: To address this gap, we conducted in-depth interviews with participants of an open-ended natural history longitudinal cohort study (SuperMIX) and with fieldworkers who collect the data for this s…
A Proposal for a Best-evidence Model of Care and Program Logic for Supported Accommodation for People Released From Prison
This paper describes the development of a proposed best-evidence model of care (MoC) and program logic (PL) for supported accommodation (SA) for people released from prison. Evidence from a systematic review, interviews with clients of SA, and consultation with service providers were synthesized to develop a draft MoC that was embedded into a PL. The MoC and PL were refined in a workshop with researchers and SA providers. The MoC comprised five b…
Co-designing the INHSU Prisons Hepatitis C Advocacy Toolkit using the Advocacy Strategy Framework
The Toolkit holds promise for progressing the WHO elimination goals by increasing advocacy efforts for enhanced prison HCV services globally. The co-design of Toolkit resources with potential end-users has increased its potential accessibility, acceptability, and inclusivity for a globally diverse audience
Barriers and advocacy needs for hepatitis C services in prisons
Using Ethno-Epidemiology in a Prospective Observational Study to Increase the Rigour of Nested Qualitative Research
Ethnographic-epidemiological ('ethno-epi') research methodologies are increasingly being used to examine health-related issues, including the experiences of people who use drugs. However, the complementary application of random sampling from a well characterised cohort and qualitative data collection methods in a single study has not been described. We address this gap by sharing insights from the implementation of a novel random stratified sampl…
Socioeconomic consequences of the Covid ‐19 pandemic for people who use drugs
The COVID‐19 pandemic triggered widespread socioeconomic hardship, disproportionately impacting disadvantaged populations. People who use illicit drugs are more likely to experience unemployment, homelessness, criminal justice involvement and poorer health outcomes than the general community, yet little is known about the socioeconomic impacts of the pandemic on their lives. To address this gap in the literature, we conducted in‐depth interviews …

"That's the Lowest Place on Earth!" Experiences of the Carceral Spaces of Australian Police Custody for Marginalized Young Men
Young men are overrepresented among people detained in police custody in Victoria, Australia, a closed institution that has mostly escaped public scrutiny. Our study sheds light on this underexamined place from the perspective of 28 marginalized young men (aged 19-24) detained there prior to adult prison. Drawing on Bacchi's "What's the problem represented to be?" approach and the subdiscipline of carceral geography, we disrupt the assumed purpos…
The Prison and Transition Health (Path) Cohort Study
People who inject drugs (PWID) are disproportionately represented among individuals who experience imprisonment and often have more complex physical and mental health needs than people in prison without injecting histories. The trajectories of PWID after prison release are poorly understood, hampering the development of effective strategies to address their distinct health needs. The Prison and Transition Health (PATH) Cohort Study is characteris…
I Lost Me Visits”
Utilizing Bacchi’s poststructuralist approach, “What’s the problem represented to be?,” we critically examine how the “problem” of drug use in prison is represented within a key initiative—the Identified Drug User program (IDUP)—of prison drug policy in one Australian jurisdiction. We use two data sources for our analysis: interview transcripts of recently incarcerated young men (aged 19–24) with histories of injecting drug use and selected priso…
