Reducing HIV and Partner Violence Risk Among Women with Criminal Justice System Involvement
Violence Against Women With HIV Risk and Recent Criminal Justice System Involvement
This research note examines the prevalence and correlates of intimate partner violence (IPV) and other violence (OV) among women (N = 529) at risk for HIV and with histories of criminal justice system involvement. The 3-month prevalences of IPV and OV were 31.2% and 18.7%, respectively. IPV was associated with having a current main partner, substance use, sexual risk behavior, trading sex, anxiety, depression, and lower self-esteem. OV was associ…

The association between advertising and calls to a tobacco quitline
Placement of television advertisements during the day versus the evening can increase an advertisement's effectiveness in generating calls to a quitline. Some advertising messages were more effective than others in generating calls to a quitline. Quitline providers can apply findings from previous research when planning media campaigns. In addition, call volume should be monitored in order to assess the cost effectiveness of different strategies …
The effectiveness and cost effectiveness of telephone counselling and the nicotine patch in a state tobacco quitline
Offering free NRT and multisession telephone support within a state tobacco quitline led to higher quit rates, and similar costs per incremental quit, than less intensive protocols
Is a statewide tobacco quitline an appropriate service for specific populations
The Washington QL appeared effective and well received by callers from the specific populations studied. States choosing to promote their QL more aggressively should feel confident that a tobacco QL can be an effective and well received cessation service for smokers who call from a broad range of communities
The Impact of Clean Indoor Air Exemptions and Preemption Policies on the Prevalence of a Tobacco-Specific Lung Carcinogen Among Nonsmoking Bar and Restaurant Workers
Objectives. We studied the impact of clean indoor air law exemptions and preemption policies on the prevalence of a tobacco-specific lung carcinogen—4-(methylnitrosamino)-1-(3-pyridyl)-1-butanone (NNK)—among nonsmoking bar and restaurant workers. Methods.secondhand smoke were compared with results from participants who were exposed to it. Results. Participants exposed to workplace secondhand smoke were more likely to have any detectable level of …
A prospective study of household smoking bans and subsequent cessation related behaviour
Objective: To assess the degree to which smokers living with a full household ban on smoking change their cessation related behaviour. Design, setting, and participants: Prospective cohort study; follow up of a population based cohort of 1133 smokers, identified from a 1997 telephone survey of adult Oregonians. After a median of 21 months, 565 were located and reinterviewed. Main outcome measures: Quit attempts, time until relapse, and smoking ce…
The uninsured and Medicaid Oregon tobacco user experience in a real world, phone based cessation programme
The quit rates are similar to those reported in efficacy trials. The observed variation in quitting tobacco for respondents by number of calls completed and by insurance merits further investigation concentrating on increasing compliance with the call schedule, particularly for the uninsured
Telephone Recruitment of a Random Stratified African American and White Family Study Sample
Few researchers have documented procedures and methods for recruitment of a random sample to assess risky health-related behavior, such as substance use, across different ethnicities. This study describes the recruitment methods used to attain a stratified sample of 368 target youths (African American and White males and females from 9-, 11-, and 13-year-old cohorts), along with all household family members aged 9 and older, representing families…
Drug-using men who have sex with men
Men who have sex with men (MSM) and use drugs are at high risk for HIV. This study assessed drug and sex-related risk behaviours and sexual identities for MSM drug injectors and crack smokers. One hundred and forty four MSM drug injectors and crack smokers from five USA cities were interviewed. One-third of the men were current injectors, twice as many reported lifetime injection. Most (56%) reported sex with women in the prior year; sex trading …
HIV infection and patterns of risk among women drug injectors and crack users in low and high sero-prevalence sites
As AIDS cases among US women continue to increase, a better understanding of women's behavioural risk patterns is needed to inform intervention efforts. Data were from 2,945 women drug injectors and crack users. Statistical analyses compared sociodemographic variables, lifetime behavioural risk patterns, HIV sero-prevalence and history of sexually transmitted diseases, and determined predictors of HIV infection separately in 16 low and four high …
Understanding HIV risks of chronic drug-using men who have sex with men
Focus groups and individual structured interviews were conducted in six cities with 98 predominantly street-recruited men who had a recent history of smoking crack or injecting drugs and who reported having had sex with other men (MSM) in the past year. Twenty-six focus groups explored the cultural and social context of participant's drug use and sexual activity and addressed outreach and HIV prevention issues pertinent to this population. Narrat…

Dropping out of substance abuse treatment
Treating Cigarette Smoking in Methadone Maintenance Clients
Substance abusers in treatment have cigarette-smoking rates about three times that found in the general adult population, yet there is a paucity of published studies examining smoking-cessation programs for these clients. Accordingly, a behaviorally based smoking-cessation program for methadone maintenance clients was developed, and the efficacy of a methadone dose increase as a pharmacological adjunct was tested in a double-blind placebo-control…
