“Why not take that pill?”
People under community supervision who use drugs face elevated HIV risk. This randomized controlled trial used a mixed-methods approach to examine PrEP acceptance among community-supervised men who use drugs and their female partners. The study evaluated PrEP willingness among participants (N = 394) randomized to either PACT (5-session couples' HIV intervention) or control (1-session HIV counseling). Qualitative interviews with 20 couples (n = 40…
Child Protective Services Involvement Among Black Women in Community Supervision Experiencing Intimate Partner Violence
This study examines associations between male- and female-perpetrated psychological, physical, and sexual intimate partner violence and child protective services involvement among Black women under community supervision in New York City ( N = 247). Up to 72.1% of women experienced lifetime intimate partner violence (IPV) and 55.9% child protective services (CPS) involvement as parents. Women had significantly higher odds of CPS involvement if the…

HIV and Other Sexually Transmitted Infections Among Men and Transgender/Gender Expansive Individuals Who Have Sex with Men in Kazakhstan
A Stepped-Wedge Cluster Randomized Trial of PRIDE in HIV Care
HIV transmission in Kazakhstan has increased among men who have sex with men (MSM) and transgender and nonbinary people who have sex with men (TSM), driven by low HIV testing rates. PRIDE in HIV Care is an intervention designed to have a community-level effect of increasing HIV testing among MSM and TSM in Kazakhstan. The intervention was tested using a stepped-wedge, cluster-randomized controlled trial across three cities in Kazakhstan: Almaty, …
Overdose education and naloxone distribution in jails
BACKGROUND: Opioid-related overdose is the leading cause of mortality among individuals recently released from incarceration in the U.S. Naloxone is an FDA-approved opioid antagonist medication designed to rapidly reverse opioid overdose. Despite evidence of its acceptability and effectiveness at reducing the risk of opioid overdose death after release from incarceration, only an estimated 25% of US jails provide naloxone upon release. This study…
‘Yeah, they suck. It’s like they don’t care about our health.’ Medical mistrust among Black women under community supervision in New York city
Black women in the USA experience some of the poorest health outcomes and this is especially true for those involved in the carceral system who are at elevated risks for HIV/STIs, reproductive health, and chronic diseases. This study aimed to investigate Black women's experience accessing healthcare services. We conducted semi-structured interviews with 43 women from Project EWORTH under community supervision in New York City. We analysed respons…

Identifying and responding to policy-related barriers, facilitators, and misunderstandings in the Healing communities study
Effect of the Communities That Heal Intervention on Overdose Education and Naloxone Distribution
Objectives. To determine whether the Communities That HEAL (CTH) intervention is effective in increasing naloxone distribution compared with usual care. Methods. The HEALing (Helping to End Addiction Long-Term) Communities Study (HCS) is a cluster-randomized, parallel-arm, wait-list controlled implementation science trial testing the impact of the CTH intervention on increasing the use of evidence-based practices to lower opioid-related overdose …
The Process and Cost of Developing a Community Advisory Board Focused on Opioid Overdose Deaths
Background: We describe the Community Advisory Board (CAB) development and costing processes employed by The Helping to End Addiction Long-term (HEALing) Communities Study, Massachusetts (HCS-MA). The actual process and costs associated with establishing a CAB representative of people who use drugs have not been published. Methods: A participatory process was used to identify and recruit CAB members. Health economics costing strategies were used …
Community-led approaches to making naloxone available in public settings
Compounding vulnerabilities
Gay, bisexual, and other men and transgender and nonbinary people who have sex with men (MSM and TSM) are disproportionately impacted by the HIV epidemic in Kazakhstan. MSM and TSM in Kazakhstan also face high levels of discrimination and victimization, known barriers to engagement in HIV prevention and care. We examined data from surveys with 455 MSM and TSM collected May -- October 2020 to determine whether access to HIV testing and treatment w…
Being a Peer Community Health Worker
Women on the Road to Health Transitions combines two evidence-based strategies, WORTH and Transitions Clinic Network into an intervention for women involved in the criminal legal system with substance use and HIV risks. Led by peer community health workers (CHWs), Women on the Road to Health Transitions also links participants to primary care. We describe the impact of the program from the perspective of the CHWs. As integral research team member…
Trauma, Mental Health Distress, and Infectious Disease Prevention Among Women Recently Released From Incarceration
Given the impact of PTSD-related symptoms on driving both engagement in HIV/STIs/HCV prevention services and intervention attrition among women leaving incarceration, physical and behavioral health interventions must be both overtly trauma- and mental health-informed. As was the case with WORTH Transitions, physical and behavioral health services for this population must include intentional and active support of the forms of treatment participant…
Moderation Analysis of a couple-based HIV/STI Intervention Among Heterosexual Couples in the Criminal Legal System Experiencing Intimate Partner Violence
Nurses and Outreach Workers’ Stigmatizing Attitudes in Needle Syringe Programs in Kazakhstan
Purpose: This paper examines differences in attitudes, stigma, and discrimination towards people living with HIV (PLWH) in needle and syringe programs (NSPs) in Kazakhstan to help inform HIV care interventions in these settings. Method: We collected data on HIV/AIDS attitudes using a modified Health Policy Project Standardized Brief Questionnaire with two subscales: attitudes within the health facility environment in a facility caring for PLWH, a…
Qualitative System Dynamics Modeling to Support Community Planning in Opioid Overdose Prevention
SD modeling is a novel approach to helping community stakeholders to see the inter-connectedness of actors, factors and sectors and the need for multiple mutually reinforcing strategies to avert opioid overdose and fatality. Social workers could play a key role in linking actions across sectors in such a complex system
Couple-Based Behavioral HIV Interventions by the Social Intervention Group
Purpose: This paper reports a review of couple-based behavioral HIV interventions conducted by the Social Intervention Group (SIG); and addresses gaps, future directions, and implications for couple-based HIV interventions. Method: We performed a literature review for SIG research on intervention and prevention studies involving couples/partners. Results: We identified nine couple-based interventions. Outcomes included reduced sexual and substanc…
Leveraging Randomized Controlled Trial Design
Treatment as usual has historically been used as control arms for randomized controlled trials (RCTs), but utilizing wellness interventions as active comparison conditions can advance the evidence base of such interventions while increasing access to health promotion content. We use the results from the CONNECT 2 RCT's wellness intervention control arm as a case example of active comparison conditions that can control for dosage or attentional ef…
