Black 'N Mild and Carcinogenic
Considerable concern has been expressed about the use of illicit drugs like heroin and cocaine among disadvantaged, minority youth and young adults in America's inner cities. Often overlooked in this research and associated public response are the far greater health consequences that stem from the use of legally sold drugs like alcohol and tobacco (Baer, Singer, and Susser, 2003, Singer, 2004). Recently, based on research in Miami/Dade and Alachu…
A Participatory Action Research Pilot Study of Urban Health Disparities Using Rapid Assessment Response and Evaluation
Healthy People 2010 made it a priority to eliminate health disparities. We used a rapid assessment response and evaluation (RARE) to launch a program of participatory action research focused on health disparities in an urban, disadvantaged Black community serviced by a major south Florida health center. We formed partnerships with community members, identified local health disparities, and guided interventions targeting health disparities. We des…
Make it easy on your readers
This article presents ideas on how to serve well the readers of an environmental impact document. It begins with a description of the characteristics and needs of an impact document's diverse potential readership. Then, given that readership, three topics are addressed: focus (what do you need to say); organization (where do you say it); and style (how do you say it). Keywords: environmental impact assessmentenvironmental impact documentation

Trends in Alcohol, Drug and Cigarette Use Among Haitian Youth in Miami-Dade County, Florida
The objective of this article is to report on prevalence of drug and cigarette use among a segment of Haitian youth in the United States. The article is an argument in favor of contextualizing knowledge about drug use among young people across socioethnic lines. Because initiation of licit and illicit drugs tends to occur during adolescence, ethnic differentiation is crucial if we are to understand the drug experience among young people in the Un…
Response to Trauma in Haitian Youth at Risk
In order to characterize undesirable behavior (drug use, fighting, criminal activity) among Haitian youth at risk and determine the relationship between traumatic experience and that kind of behavior, investigators recruited 292 Haitian youths via networks of informal social relations in two zones of Miami/Dade County strongly identified with Haitian ethnicity. Each recruit responded to an interview schedule eliciting sociodemographic information…

Cigars, Cigarillos, and Youth
In order to answer questions about discrepancies in self-reported tobacco use between youth from different race/ethnic categories, the authors set out to observe and characterize tobacco use among youth in two Florida counties. Their observations and interviews led to identification of a pattern of tobacco use that had not appeared before in the literature on tobacco use, the emergent phenomenon of Black & Mild consumption, especially among Afric…

The Rock Always Comes First”
Illicit drug use remains a significant public health threat. The issues surrounding drug use are recognized by public health professionals as important for several reasons. The incidence and prevalence of drug use persists in spite of the extensive societal, interpersonal, and individual consequences. In addition, the chronic health issues and health care costs associated with drug use continue to spiral. A wide variety of quantitative studies ha…
Rapid Assessment of the HIV/Aids Crisis in Racial and Ethnic Minority Communities
Objectives. The US Department of Health and Human Services, in collaboration with the Congressional Black Caucus, created a new initiative to address the disproportionate ongoing HIV/AIDS crisis in racial/ethnic minority populations. Methods. This initiative included deploying technical assistance teams through the Office of HIV/AIDS Policy. The teams introduced rapid assessment and response methodologies and trained minority communities in their…
Drug-Using Sex Workers in the Streets of Valencia
In order to characterize factors that affect sex work and their influence on risk practices, this ethnographic study carried out in a barrio in Valencia describes female sex workers who use illegal drugs, some who inject drugs and some who do not. A study conducted ten years earlier had shown that women in this setting who injected drugs had more irregular work habits, were less selective about their clientele, took more risks of HIV infection, a…
Adoption of Injection Practices in Heroin Users in Guangxi Province, China
This preliminary study collected data from 326 heroin users in Guangxi Province, China, in 1997. Logistic regression analysis was performed to identify the risk factors for injection. Survival analysis identified factors independently associated with time from initiation of heroin use to adoption of injection. Four factors were independently associated with injection: number of friends who used heroin in the last year, duration of heroin use, dos…
Parenteral injection of alcohol
Preliminary evidence gathered in Santa Fé de Bogotá, Colombia, indicates that use of hypodermic methods to inject ethanol has developed among some people in that city. Epidemiologists investigating drug use stumbled upon this behavior in the responses of some interviewees. These users’ descriptions of parenteral injection of ethanol include rationales such as reduced cost and rapid arrival of intoxicating effects. Subsequent interviews among a co…

Use of Needles and Syringes in Miami and Valencia
Two studies engaged in gathering data on injecting drug users (IDUs) employed supplementary resources to enhance their ethnographic components and compare patterns of use of needles/syringes (n/s) in two geographically similar but culturally distinct cities. Despite its policy of making n/s highly available at fair prices, Valencia, Spain, has markedly higher rates of HIV seroprevalence among its IDUs than does Miami, Florida, where possession of…
Injection drug users' practices and attitudes toward intervention and potential for reducing the transmission of HIV
Miami is one of the major centers of illegal drug activity and has a significant proportion of AIDS cases among injection drug users (IDUs). Since Needle Exchange Programs (NEP) are illegal and therefore do not exist in the state of Florida, other strategies must play a large role in reducing the transmission of HIV among IDUs. In order to effectively communicate with IDUs about needle safety, it is necessary to understand the practices and cultu…
Needle exchange and reduction of harm
Overwhelming evidence from all over the world confirms that needle exchange programs (NEPs) in widely varied forms have value in prevention of HIV infection among injecting drug users (IDUs). Unfortunately, the United States has relatively few active NEPs because of political opposition to adoption of any policy that would give the appearance of condoning use of illegal drugs. Some additional opposition comes from the affected communities themsel…
Risk factors for HIV-1 seroconversion among injection drug users
OBJECTIVES. A nested case-control study was conducted in Miami, Fla, to determine risk factors associated with human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) seroconversion among injection drug users. METHODS. The study identified 21 incident cases of HIV-1 infection and 76 unmatched controls from two longitudinal cohorts of injection drug users. One cohort consisted of individuals who originally had been recruited from treatment centers; a second c…

HIV seropositivity of needles from shooting galleries in south Florida
Needle/syringe combinations were collected from three shooting galleries in South Florida and tested for the presence of antibodies to HIV-1. Fifteen of 148 needles (10.1 percent) tested positive for HIV-1 antibody. Seropositivity rates did not vary by the day of the week of collection, nor by shooting gallery from which they were collected. When the needle appeared to contain blood residue, 20.0 percent were positive versus 5.1 percent with no b…

Intravenous Drug Use and HIV Infection in Miami
In this article we report the results of a study of needle-using behaviors in a street-recruited, noninstitutionalized sample of intravenous drug users (IVDUs) in Miami-Dade County. Survey data, elicited from 230 IVDUs, indicate a statistically significant relationship between injection frequency and antibody seropositivity for the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV). Self-reported needle-sharing behavior and use of safe houses (i.e., shooting gal…

Masculinity and paranoia
The Terman-Miles masculinity-femininity test was administered to 50 paranoid mental patients, and their scores were compared with those of male active and passive inverts and the general male population. No marked differences were noted with respect to word association, ink-blot association, general information, emotional and ethical responses, reaction to famous personalities, or belief in common sayings. In choice of occupations and books, and …

Psychosociocultural Perspectives on Chronic Cannabis Use
The social standing of marijuana use in Costa Rica becomes important as one examines the results of this study. Before 1968, marijuana use itself defined Costa Rican consumers of the drug as lower class. Its coming to fashionability among Costa Rican upper-middle-class youths during the late 1960's and early 1970's temporarily blurred marijuana's class identification. Nevertheless, the lower-class users' dress, speech and style of use kept them d…
The Papers You Carry and Who You Really Are
Patterns of identity avoidance described in this article point out the need for anthropological understanding of recipient populations on the part of all agencies that interact with the homeless. Identity avoidance is motivated by the desire to maintain some degree of control over the systems that impinge on the lives of the homeless. Systems that have arbitrary time periods and limits to services are attempting to make their assistance available…
