  • HIV Testing Barriers Among Black and Latina Women

    Sarah Tonkin, Constanza De Dios et al.ARTICLESubstance Use & Misuse2025

    Background: Black and Latina women are disproportionally affected by Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) and medical mistrust may be a testing barrier, especially among women experiencing substance use and discrimination. Objectives: This study examined current substance use, daily discrimination exposure, and medical mistrust factors (medical disparities, medical suspiciousness) on HIV testing. An online survey was completed by 97 Black and/or La…

  • Linking Black women to PrEP care using warm handoff referrals from emergency departments to local PrEP clinics

    Laurenia Mangum, Angela M Heads et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2025

    New Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) cases continue to disproportionately burden cisgender Black/African American women in the United States due to a confluence of structural and systemic factors. Pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) is a safe and effective HIV prevention option, yet there is a striking gap between PrEP eligibility and uptake among cisgender Black women. The current study evaluates a novel warm handoff process in a hospital emergenc…

  • Interest in and Willingness to Use PrEP

    Open AccessAngela M Heads, Constanza De Dios et al.ARTICLEArchives of Sexual Behavior2024Referências: 51

    Although it is an effective HIV prevention method, pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) is underutilized in the Southern US. Many people who use drugs (PWUD) have increased susceptibility to HIV which could be lessened by using PrEP. Potential barriers to PrEP use include lack of awareness of PrEP, low knowledge about HIV prevention, low self-efficacy for HIV prevention, inaccurate risk perceptions, and anticipated stigma. The current study examined p…

  • Opioid Risk Tool, in-hospital opioid exposure, and opioid demand predict pain outcomes following traumatic injury

    Open AccessDanielle A Kessler, Danielle Kessler et al.ARTICLEJournal of Health Psychology2024Referências: 46

    Prescribed opioids are a mainstay pain treatment after traumatic injury, but a subgroup of patients may be at risk for continued opioid use. We evaluated the predictive utility of a traditional screening tool, the Opioid Risk Tool (ORT), and two other measures: average in-hospital milligram morphine equivalents (MME) per day and an assessment of opioid demand in predicting pain outcomes. Assessments of pain-related outcomes (pain intensity, inter…

  • The Association between Potentially Traumatic Events and Cocaine, Cannabis, and Alcohol Use Differs by Race

    Judy H Hong, Constanza De Dios et al.ARTICLESubstance Use & Misuse2023

    Background: Although exposure to potentially traumatic events (PTEs) for Black and Latinx may be comparable or lower than their White counterparts, type of trauma experiences differ such as more interpersonal trauma and violence reported by Black people, who also experience higher rates of PTSD. In this retrospective study, we examined the association between use of particular substances and various PTEs and the race/ethnicity-group differences f…

  • Prevalence and Correlates of Sex Selling and Sex Purchasing among Adults Seeking Treatment for Cocaine Use Disorder

    Emma C Lathan, Judy H Hong et al.ARTICLESubstance Use & Misuse2021

    Introduction Exchange sex places individuals with cocaine use disorder (CUD) at particularly high risk for deleterious safety and health outcomes. A substance use treatment provider who is aware of a patient’s exchange sex behavior is better able to provide appropriate screening, care, and/or referral to risk reduction services. However, little is known about exchange sex, especially purchasing, among treatment-seeking adults with CUD. Method The…
