Healthcare Provider Perceptions on Screening and Treatment for Unhealthy Alcohol Use in HIV Primary Care Settings

Meaning in Life as a Potential Protective Factor for Tobacco Abstinence Among Adult Rural Residents
Open AccessKevin R Madden, Karen L Cropsey et al.ARTICLEPsychological Reports2025
U.S. rural counties have been shown to demonstrate higher rates of tobacco use, however, there is limited understanding concerning protective factors that may decrease the likelihood of tobacco use in these settings. The increased presence of the sense that one's life is meaningful has been found to be associated with engagement in health behaviors, including refraining from tobacco use. However, comprehensive population-based assessments are req…
The association between criminal legal attitudes and healthcare utilization among adolescents
Open AccessChelsea R Miller, Kaylee B Crockett et al.ARTICLEHumanities and Social Sciences…2024
System avoidance is a concept that individual contact with the criminal legal system causes avoidance of other social institutions. Negative attitudes about the criminal legal system and subsequent mistrust in healthcare systems or providers have only been studied in adults. Therefore, the aim of this study is to explore the association between healthcare utilization and youth-reported negative criminal legal attitudes stratified by gender and ra…
Alcohol and drug use severity are independently associated with antiretroviral adherence in the current treatment era
Jimmy Ma, Betty Luu et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2024
Substance use in people with HIV (PWH) negatively impacts antiretroviral therapy (ART) adherence. However, less is known about this in the current treatment era and the impact of specific substances or severity of substance use. We examined the associations of alcohol, marijuana, and illicit drug use (methamphetamine/crystal, cocaine/crack, illicit opioids/heroin) and their severity of use with adherence using multivariable linear regression in a…
Vaporized nicotine use among patients in HIV care who smoke tobacco
Rob Jay Fredericksen, Emma Fitzsimmons et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2023
Evidence suggests adverse health effects from vaporized nicotine (VN) use, such as electronic “e” cigarettes, and limited efficacy to aid tobacco cessation. People with HIV (PWH) smoke tobacco at higher rates than the general population, with greater morbidity, highlighting the necessity of effective tobacco cessation tools. PWH may be more vulnerable to adverse effects of VN. Using semi-structured 1:1 interviews, we examined health beliefs regar…
Intersection of alcohol use, HIV infection, and the HIV care continuum in Zambia
Michael J Vinikoor, Izukanji Sikazwe et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2023
Through a nationally-representative household survey, we measured the prevalence and correlates of unhealthy alcohol use (UAU) in Zambia and its association with the HIV care continuum. Adolescent and adult (ages 15–59 years) data, including the Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test-Consumption (AUDIT-C), from the 2016 Zambia Population-based HIV Impact Assessment, were analyzed. UAU was defined as AUDIT-C of 3 + points for women and 4 + for …
Relations between affect, self-efficacy, and alcohol expectancies in adults experiencing homelessness

It may be important to deliver real-time treatment messages suggesting alternatives to drinking and/or ways to boost self-efficacy during moments when negative affect is high
In vivo Experience With NRT to Increase Adherence and Smoking Abstinence Among Individuals in the Criminal Legal System
Open AccessElizabeth S Hawes, Sofía Mildrum Chana et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Psychiatry2022
Background While tobacco use among individuals involved in the criminal legal system remains 3–4 times higher than the general population, few interventions have been targeted for this population to aid in smoking cessation. Nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) is a relatively effective and accessible smoking cessation aid; however, individuals frequently stop use of NRT early due to side effects and misperceptions about the products. The present s…

Prevalence and impact of comorbid chronic pain and cigarette smoking among people living with HIV
Lisa R LaRowe, John D Cleveland et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2021
Rates of chronic pain and cigarette smoking are each substantially higher among people living with HIV (PLWH) than in the general population. The goal of these analyses was to examine the prevalence and impact of comorbid chronic pain and cigarette smoking among PLWH. Participants included 3289 PLWH (83% male) who were recruited from five HIV clinics. As expected, the prevalence of smoking was higher among PLWH with chronic pain (41.9%), than PLW…
Abnormal Pap Follow-Up among Criminal-Legal Involved Women in Three U.S. Cities
Open AccessChelsea Salyer, Ashlyn Lipnicky et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of…2021
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,…

Open AccessAnna Junkins, Christina Psaros et al.ARTICLEJournal of Health Psychology2021Referências: 59
Women living with HIV are disproportionally affected by depression and mental healthcare access. A pilot feasibility trial using videoconferencing compared cognitive behavioral therapy for antiretroviral therapy adherence and depression ( N = 11) to supportive psychotherapy ( N = 11). Participants completed 10-12 weekly therapy sessions and 6-month follow-up. Retention at 6 months was 95 percent. Depression symptoms significantly decreased in bot…
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…
Racial disparities and factors associated with prescription for smoking cessation medications among smokers receiving routine clinical care for HIV
Cosmus Zyambo, Cosmas M Zyambo et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2020
Factors associated with prescription of smoking cessation medication (SCM), including the impact of race, have not been well described among a large population of people living with HIV (PLWH) engaged in routine clinical care. Our study investigated whether there are racial differences between African-American and White PLWH regarding SCM prescription and sought to identify other factors associated with these prescriptions at a large HIV clinic i…
Delivery and implementation of an algorithm for smoking cessation treatment for people living with HIV and Aids
Karen L Cropsey, Madelyne Bean et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2020
Compared to the general population, persons living with HIV (PLWH) have higher rates of tobacco use and an increased risk of morbidity from tobacco-related diseases. We conducted a single-arm pilot study of the real-world feasibility of integrating a smoking cessation decisional algorithm within routine clinic visits to engage non-treatment-seeking smokers in smoking cessation therapies. Smokers had an initial study visit during routine care foll…

Predictors of smoking cessation among people living with HIV receiving routine clinical care
Cosmus Zyambo, Cosmas M Zyambo et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2019
People living with HIV (PLWH) have a higher prevalence of smoking and are less likely to quit smoking than the general population. Few studies involving a large sample of PLWH receiving routine care have evaluated factors associated with smoking cessation. This retrospective longitudinal cohort study evaluated factors associated with smoking cessation among PLWH from 2007 to 2018. Of 1,714 PLWH smokers included in the study, 27.6% reported quitti…

Depressive symptoms and age of alcohol use onset interact to predict suicidal ideation
Caitlin Wolford-Clevenger, Caitlin Wolford‐Clevenger et al.ARTICLEDeath Studies2019Referências: 1
Distal risk factors of alcohol use may increase suicidal ideation in the presence of proximal risk factors, such as depressive symptoms. We tested whether depressive symptoms and age at onset of alcohol use interact to predict suicidal ideation in 500 individuals (67% men; 68% Black/African American) under criminal justice supervision. Regression analysis revealed that age of onset negatively associated with suicidal ideation only at average and …
