Police experiences with cannabis legalization and perceptions of broader drug policy reform
The Drug Market’s Impact on the Overdose Risk Environment for Women Who Use Drugs During the Covid-19 Pandemic
Experiences of a drug decriminalization policy among police and people who use drugs in Baltimore City
Drug decriminalization aims to reduce the harms of punitive enforcement while improving police-community relations. Baltimore City implemented de facto decriminalization in 2020, declining to prosecute simple drug possession cases. We examined perspectives of 26 people who use drugs (PWUD) and 22 police officers on policy impacts using semi-structured interviews conducted in 2023–2024. Using post-structural policy analysis, we explored support fo…
“I Really Didn’t Need Treatment, It Was Just a Way for Me Not to Go to Jail”
Structural Vulnerability and Police Interaction among Women Who Use Drugs amid De Facto Decriminalization in Baltimore, Maryland
Exposure to criminal-legal systems, including policing, arrest, and incarceration, has deleterious effects on access to health and social services among people who use drugs. Women who use drugs (WWUD) may be especially vulnerable to policing, due to the high prevalence of sex work among them, which is also a criminalized behavior. Recent epidemiologic events and policy reforms are thought to have reduced exposure to arrests for low-level, non-vi…
Navigating US illicit drug market volatility
The US illicit drug market is increasingly unreliable, with new and often harmful adulterants contributing to overdose risk among people who use drugs. In this context, it is crucial to examine whether people who inject drugs (PWID) are aware of these changes and if so, how they are adapting to inform harm reduction interventions and programs. In-depth interviews were conducted with 23 PWID between July 2022 and January 2023. Interviews explored …
“All You Can Do is What You Know to Do”
Community-based distribution of naloxone has continued to serve as an important strategy in combatting the U.S. opioid overdose crisis. People who use drugs are first responders in this crisis, administering and disseminating knowledge about naloxone among their social networks. However, it is unclear how knowledge of naloxone evolves over time and across individuals, especially amid a volatile, unregulated drug market. OBJECTIVES: We conducted 2…
Examining the association between psychological resilience and chronic versus discrete stressors among individuals who use opioids in Baltimore, Maryland
We can't change that while they're in the hospital”

“You know that we travel a lot”
Female sex workers (FSW) are highly mobile, which may result in reduced access to and use of health services and increased risk for poor health outcomes, particularly for those living with HIV. Mobility includes spatial, temporal, and social elements that are not fully captured by quantitative measures. We conducted two rounds of in-depth interviews with FSW living with HIV in Iringa, Tanzania (n = 20), and Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic (n = …
Multiple material need insecurities and severity of psychological distress during the Covid-19 pandemic among women who use drugs
WWUD experienced a substantial burden of multiple material needs during the pandemic which were associated with elevated levels of mental distress. Results speak to the need to advance mental health equity by addressing access to material needs and mental healthcare for marginalized populations, particularly during health emergencies that threaten already-precarious social safety nets and healthcare infrastructure
