A clarion call to the addiction science community
Ethical Issues in Treating Substance Use Disorders
Ethical issues arise frequently in the treatment of substance use disorders (SUD). Counselors need guidance to navigate ethical dilemmas but receive limited training in resolving ethical issues. To narrow the gap between the ethical dilemmas counselors face and their training, this qualitative study assessed ethical issues that counselors encounter, how they resolve them, and desired training. We conducted qualitative individual interviews with 2…
Policy and Practice Changes Associated with a Tobacco-Free Initiative in Residential Substance Use Disorder Treatment
A California-sponsored, 18-month, tobacco-free intervention in residential substance use disorder (SUD) programs was associated with increases in tobacco-free grounds and tobacco-related client services. The current study examined whether positive results would be replicated in 11 programs participating subsequently. Program directors ( N = 11) completed surveys of tobacco-related policies pre- and post-intervention. Pre- ( n = 163) and post-inte…
Sexual Health Interventions for Racial/Ethnic Minorities Using Community-Based Participatory Research
Pre-implementation Assessment of Tobacco Cessation Interventions in Substance Use Disorder Residential Programs in California
BACKGROUND: Across the United States, substance use disorder (SUD) treatment programs vary in terms of tobacco-related policies and cessation services offered. Implementation of tobacco-related policies within this setting can face several barriers. Little is known about how program leadership anticipate such barriers at the pre-implementation phase. This study used the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research (CFIR) during the pre-impl…
Smoking Behavior and Wellness among Individuals in Substance Use Disorder Treatment
Tobacco-related morbidity and mortality disproportionately affect people with substance use disorders (SUD). Encouraging overall wellness may support tobacco use cessation. We investigated relationships between wellness (health status, physical activity, sugar-sweetened beverage (SSB) consumption), cigarette smoking, and smoking cessation among SUD treatment patients to inform clinical care. Cross-sectional surveys were conducted with 395 patient…
Racial/Ethnic Differences in Tobacco Use and Cessation Services among Individuals in Substance Use Treatment
Few studies explore racial/ethnic disparities in tobacco use and access to cessation services among people with substance use disorders (SUD). We collected data from Hispanics ( n = 255), non-Hispanic Whites ( n = 195), and non-Hispanic Blacks ( n = 126) across 24 Californian residential SUD treatment programs. Data were analyzed via regression models adjusting for demographics, cigarettes per day, past quit attempts, intent to quit in the next 3…
Advancing Health Equity through Substance Use Research
Several health inequities exist among racial/ethnic minoritized populations (REMPs) who use substances including disparities in use patterns, inequities in health and legal consequences of use, as well as in treatment access and effectiveness. To address these inequities, more research is needed to examine the associated factors and identify areas for improving treatment. Divided into three categories, this special issue includes papers that exam…
Ethnic Identity, Perceived Discrimination, Substance Use and Misuse among Black-White Biracial Adults
Background: Multiracial groups are projected to be the fastest growing segment of the U.S. population, more than tripling in size over the next four decades. Marginality Theory suggests that biracial individuals, a subgroup of multiracial, may experience heightened conflict with their ethnic identity due to having to negotiate between two distinct cultures. Research shows that changes in ethnic identity is associated with perceived discrimination…
Codeine crazy
Prescription drug misuse (PDM) is a national problem in the U.S., particularly effecting youth ages 16–25. Drug-related messages in music are one known predictor of substance use for this population. Research suggests that racial/ethnic minority youth are less likely to engage in PDM; however, the prevalence of PDM references in rap music may better reflect emerging drug trends. This study examined changes in the frequency of references to PDM in…
Sexual Risk Among African Americans in Substance Use Treatment
Transnational trends in prescription drug misuse among women
Best practices for researching diverse groups
The elimination of health and other disparities requires high quality and methodologically sound research on racial/ethnic minorities. Despite a general consensus on the need for valid research on racial/ethnic minorities, few guidelines are available. This article contributes to closing this gap by discussing examples and strategies for addressing concrete issues that researchers may face during these stages of the scientific process: planning a…
