Our aim is to understand how those who use peyote in a naturalistic setting discuss it changed their lives and to what they attribute this change. To do this, we draw on data from a photo-ethnography of people who attended peyote ceremonies in rural Northcentral Alabama. Broadly, we found that participants discussed four core areas of change: reduced drug and alcohol misuse, new perspectives on life, improved mental health, and improved physical health. The duration of the experienced change varied for each type of change. Participants attributed change to improved ability to endure challenges, rewiring of the brain, and connecting with spiritual selves. Findings give insights into how people experience and make sense of change from peyote. In addition, the findings suggest specific areas of research for those interested in clinical and therapeutic settings relating to peyote in particular, and psychedelics in general.

Firearm violence is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality among young men in the US. While an association of alcohol availability with violence is well established, the mechanisms through which it operates are unclear, and the role of alcohol availability in firearm violence specifically is less often studied. In this study we examined the effects of off-premises alcohol outlet characteristics on firearm violence in their immediate environs in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Firearm violence was 1.5–3 times higher in areas near off-premises retail alcohol outlets, with levels on the higher end of the range when outlets possessed certain characteristics, specifically graffiti, greater foot traffic, loitering, or younger clientele. Examining alcohol outlet characteristics provides insight into mechanisms driving the alcohol-violence association and may aid in harm reduction.

Background: Unhoused young adults aged 18–24 years are at increased risk of substance misuse relative to the general population and experience unique barriers to engaging in treatment. This study evaluates predictors of treatment completion for unhoused young adults receiving substance use treatment. Methods: Predictive models were generated on data from the 2020 Treatment Episode Data Set-Discharges. The sample included treatment discharges involving unhoused adults aged 18–24 years ( N = 12,273). Model performance was assessed by inspecting several evaluative metrics. Results: Overall, each model performed relatively well (AUC: 0.7234–0.7753). Classification models trained on balanced data predicted a higher proportion of treatment completers. Models trained on balanced data also achieved higher balanced accuracy and F1 scores relative to models trained on imbalanced data. Conclusions: Findings reveal multiple features important in the accurate classification of treatment completion, which may be useful for developing individualized interventions to support clients’ engagement in treatment services.
背景：与普通人相比，18-24 岁无住房的年轻成年人滥用药物的风险更高，而且在接受治疗时会遇到独特的障碍。本研究对接受药物使用治疗的无家可归的年轻人完成治疗的预测因素进行了评估。方法：根据 2020 年治疗事件数据集-出院数据生成预测模型。样本包括涉及 18-24 岁无住房成年人的治疗出院数据（N = 12273）。通过检查几个评价指标来评估模型性能。结果：总体而言，每个模型的表现都相对较好（AUC：0.7234-0.7753）。根据平衡数据训练的分类模型预测出的治疗完成者比例更高。与在不平衡数据上训练的模型相比，在平衡数据上训练的模型也获得了更高的平衡准确率和 F1 分数。结论：研究结果揭示了准确分类治疗完成情况的多个重要特征，这些特征可能有助于制定个性化干预措施，支持客户参与治疗服务。

Changes to the landscape of opioid use have occurred throughout the past two decades. Opioid agonist treatment (OAT) plays an important role in reducing opioid-related harms. Yet, people with opioid use disorder (PWOUD) face issues with access and retention. This scoping review sought to provide an up-to-date synthesis on barriers and facilitators to OAT. Ninety-three studies were included. Major barriers included cost, waiting lists, and negative public attitudes toward treatment. Prominent facilitators included OAT education and flexible treatment conditions such as telehealth-delivered OAT. In prison settings, limited support with treatment referral was a barrier. Fear of judgement was a challenge for pregnant people. There was a lack of information on barriers and facilitators specific to PWOUD dealing with chronic pain or mental health comorbidities. Results highlight new challenges in reaching an increasingly heterogeneous PWOUD population. Findings underline the potential for recent advancements in treatment modalities to promote access and retention.

Despite the overwhelmingly negative impacts of substance use stigma, little is known about how multiple, overlapping stigmatized identities, experiences, or characteristics (henceforth stigmas) may be related to perceived substance use stigma, especially in a sample of women who are incarcerated. The current study profiled stigmas reported by women in jail with substance use histories and investigated the relationship between the number of overlapping stigmas reported and perceptions of substance use stigma. Exploratory analyses examined the relationship between each individual stigma and substance use stigma. Findings suggest that individuals who reported more stigmas reported higher substance use stigma scores. Additionally, exploratory results suggested that rurality, transactional sex, injection drug use, methamphetamine use, being diagnosed with a mood disorder, experiencing sexual abuse or assault, and child custody loss were uniquely associated with increased substance use stigma. Results are discussed in terms of implications for stigma interventions and substance use treatment engagement.

The study aimed to examine the psychometric properties of Turkish versions of e-FTCD, PS-ECDI, EDS, and SEES. 1050 individuals aged 18+ included to assess validity, reliability, and interrelation among these scales. Scale psychometrics explored using statistical methods, including construct validity, confirmatory factor analysis, and reliability stats. The factor loadings for e-FTCD ranged from 0.528 to 0.939, PS-ECDI from 0.404 to 0.899, EDS from 0.779 to 0.897, and SEES from 0.733 to 0.849. The Cronbach’s alpha coefficients for e-FTCD, PS-ECDI, EDS (4-Item), EDS (8-Item), EDS (22-Item), and SEES were 0.561, 0.805, 0.905, 0.949, 0.984, and 0.934, respectively. The correlations were moderate between SEES and both e-FTCD (0.317) and PS-ECDI (0.394), e-FTCD was strongly correlated with PS-ECDI (0.750) and moderately with EDS versions (0.577–0.586). Correlations between the PS-ECDI and EDS versions ranged from 0.698–0.713. All four tools valid, reliable for 18+ in Türkiye. Also, positive correlation between sensory e-cigarette expectation and dependence.

Introduction: Trauma-informed care (TIC) is an expansive healthcare approach that recognizes and responds to a person’s trauma exposure. Many people experiencing a substance use disorder (SUD) and/or homelessness have trauma histories. There has not been a review of TIC intervention outcomes among these populations. Methods: A scoping review of literature (2008 to October 2023) on TIC intervention outcomes among populations experiencing SUD and/or homelessness was conducted. The search yielded 1139 texts, of which 58 met full-text extraction criteria. The final review included 32 texts that were systematically analysed. Results: TIC interventions show generally positive results for eight outcomes categories: 1) Psychological Well-being; 2) Substance Use; 3) Parenting; 4) Victimization; 5); Health; 6) Social Stability; 7) Criminal Justice; 8) and Retention/Adherence. However, these results do not consider study quality. Conclusions: TIC care approaches for populations experiencing SUD and/or homelessness have promising outcomes. Further outcome research with rigorous methodologies is needed.

Between 2002 and 2018, the United States allocated $8.87 billion to counternarcotics efforts in Afghanistan, focusing on eradication, seizure, and alternative crops. Despite significant investments, Afghanistan emerged as the primary global opium supplier, responsible for 80% of opium production. Available data from 2001 to 2020 show that successful eradication and interdiction measures led to the destruction of 85,411 hectares of poppy fields and seizures of 679.05 tons of opium, yet cultivation reached 3,238,000 hectares and production reached 105,585 tons during the same period. The promotion of alternative crop projects inadvertently facilitated opium cultivation in some areas, as foreign aid empowered recipients to exploit resources contrary to their intended goals. Insecurity, weak governance, corruption, and the involvement of the elite are some of the factors for increased opium cultivation in Afghanistan. We argue that methods of foreign aid delivery, coupled with these four factors, rendered the whole enterprise of counternarcotics efforts ineffective.

Exposure to potentially traumatic events (PTE), higher rates of Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and higher distress intolerance have been associated separately with opioid misuse in clinical samples. Adult women who reported past year misuse of a prescription drug were recruited on Prolific Academic (ProA) to participate in an online survey ( n = 154). Measures included the Trauma History Questionnaire (THQ) for lifetime trauma histories, PTSD Checklist for DSM-5 (PCL-5), Distress Intolerance (DI), NIDA-Modified ASSIST, and the Drug Abuse Screening Test (DAST-10). In a multinomial logistic regression model, experiencing a potentially traumatic event involving interpersonal victimization, having higher distress intolerance, and having greater PTSD symptoms, were significantly associated with drug use class. In particular, higher distress intolerance was associated with problem opioid use relative to problem use of other drugs. Distress intolerance is a potentially salient and modifiable target for mental health and substance use interventions.

Cannabis dispensaries in the U.S. aim to contribute to communities through philanthropy, but some nonprofits hesitate to accept donations. This exploratory case study in Colorado investigates nonprofits’ perceptions of cannabis philanthropy by surveying 317 organizations. Despite cannabis being illegal federally but legal at the state level, most respondents viewed cannabis philanthropy positively. Of the respondents who had negative views, many believe their negative views would shift if cannabis were federally legalized. Furthermore, the majority do not consider funds derived from cannabis sales as “tainted” or coming from a morally questionable source. The findings shed light on the complexity of how cannabis philanthropy is perceived, informing how nonprofits can adapt proactively to evolving cannabis philanthropy dynamics, particularly considering potential shifts in federal law. Additionally, the study reveals a favorable environment for the cannabis industry to engage in philanthropy and partnerships with nonprofits, and the potential positive impacts of such activities.
