The proliferation of drug treatment services, crafted under harm reduction and evidence-based principles, is touted as a benevolent approach for drug offenders, foregrounding their rehabilitation and reintegration into the community, and embodying the ideal of penal welfare. Despite extant studies on the functional effectiveness on recidivism among drug offenders, little research has situated the operational significance of drug treatment programs within a broader project of the Chinese state’s efforts to govern a rapidly modernizing society. To bridge this gap, this study examines the implementation of drug treatment in the Chinese justice system by unravelling the processes and logics that assemble strong control and weak service in practice. The analysis suggests that Chinese drug treatment programs both reflect and reinforce the state-centric logic of the Chinese approach to social governance, functioning to enhance the state’s legitimacy and strengthen its capacity for social control. We contend that when state interests and political ideologies are prioritized over drug offenders’ recovery, concerns and needs of drug offenders are downplayed and the rehabilitative effectiveness of those programs is diminished. Future research and policy implications for ameliorating drug treatment programs are also addressed.

We use a unique platform called the Open Dynamic Interaction Network (ODIN) app, to collect fine grained, daily data from participants. Our results graphically depict the feasibility of using the ODIN app with people who use drugs (PWUD) in the Great Plains. During fall 2022-spring 2023, 100 participants (53% female), using an Android smartphone with the ODIN app installed, were asked up to 22 questions per day on substance use, stress, and social support over 30 days. The mean overall daily response rates to the ecological momentary assessment questions using the ODIN app was 82%. Overall, 82% of participants reported that the ODIN app was “somewhat” or “very easy” to use. Our graphical depictions highlight, for example, that response rates do not typically drop off until the third block of questions. These findings have methodological significance for those who work with PWUD and other hard to reach populations.

Canada continues to be in the midst of an ongoing unregulated drug poisoning crisis, with over 40,000 opioid-related deaths since 2016. To develop a better understanding of the context of drug use, we interviewed safer supply program participants in Ottawa, Canada. Data collection included semi-structured interviews which were analyzed thematically. Overall, 2 major themes arose, which included 1) the historical and ongoing effects of trauma, and 2) a cycle of drug use that overwhelmed them. From this, a framework was created which depicts the context of substance use. Our research reinforced the importance of considering the historical and ongoing effects of trauma on the lives of people who use drugs when developing harm reduction and substance use programs. Further, participants found safer supply programs to be useful in disrupting a cycle of drug use they felt trapped in and allowed them a sense of autonomy regarding their drug use.

Harm reduction and pharmacotherapy approaches to addressing substance use disorder are evidence-based practices for reducing adverse health outcomes. However, professional stigma toward these approaches impedes implementation. In this pilot study, professionals working in substance use treatment services received a 4-hour asynchronous online harm reduction and pharmacotherapy training. Pre- and post-training surveys used Likert-scale questions to assess attitudes and planned actions. Four of the 23 survey items demonstrated a significant change in pre- to post-attitudes and planned actions relating to harm reduction or pharmacotherapy. These items included less attitudinal stigma towards: methadone and buprenorphine ( p = .021), overdose prevention sites/“drug consumption facilities” ( p = .025), and naloxone distribution ( p = .017), as well as lower intent to primarily promote abstinence-based interventions ( p = .007). This study demonstrated that online asynchronous educational interventions show promise for reducing stigmatizing attitudes towards evidence-based practices among substance use treatment professionals.

Analyzing the activity data of 2007 Cannabis Social Clubs (CSCs) members in Barcelona between 2017 and 2020 we describe the demographics, the amounts of cannabis collected (.46 g/day amongst men; .37 for woman) and the relationships established with the CSCs: frequency of procurement (every 15.4 days for woman; 11.6 days for men); and membership length (mean 657.3 days). An 80% of members were men (mean 36.1 years old). Women, older adults, and those registered as medical users had generally longer memberships than the average despite the frequencies and the amounts procured by them tended to be lower compared to young recreational male members. The daily amount used rose from an estimated general average of .44 g, to an estimated 1.41–4.76 g collected by a 5% of CSC members. Beyond providing small amounts of cannabis, CSCs are mainly used as socializing spaces for people who use cannabis.

Cannabis use can result in negative cannabis-related consequences (NCRC), particularly among individuals high in impulsivity and sensation seeking. Continued research is necessary to determine if these associations generalize to community adults with daily legal cannabis use. We hypothesized that impulsivity and sensation seeking would positively predict NCRC. Community adults ( N = 51) participated in a study measuring personality, cannabis use, and related outcomes, as part of a larger study. Two multiple regression models predicting NCRC were conducted: one for impulsivity facets and one for sensation seeking facets. Positive urgency was significantly negatively associated with NCRC. Risk seeking was significantly positively associated with NCRC. All other personality facets were not significantly associated with NCRC. Associations between some personality facets and NCRC may differ among adults with daily legal cannabis use. Future research should continue to explore unique personality associations related to NCRC among individuals with daily use.

The overall aim of the present study is to examine the utility of the DSM OUD Checklist and the NM-ASSIST screening tools to identify symptoms consistent with OUD among incarcerated women in county jails. This study contributes to the existing literature because research on screening and assessment approaches for incarcerated women has been limited. The focus of the current study is to describe the screening procedures and study recruitment for a larger parent study focused on increasing treatment linkages. Study findings indicate a positive correlation between indicators of OUD using the two screening tools, as well as a high degree of correlation between street opioid misuse and other high-risk drug indicators (overdose and injection practices). These findings underscore the importance of outreach, screening, and intervention in real-world settings, including jails, in order to increase access to OUD treatment among this vulnerable sample of women.

Drug legalization and decriminalization policy has changed in recent years. This study examined attitudes regarding drug legalization and decriminalization among persons who use substances, a perspective that can provide a unique view on legalization/decriminalization. A nationwide sample of 515 adults with and without substance use were surveyed online to assess opinions on drug legalization and decriminalization. Legalization/decriminalization beliefs were rated on an 11-point scale (0, “strongly disagree”; 10, “strongly agree”) and compared across demographic and drug use characteristics. Among persons with lived experiences in substance use, direct use of certain substances such as opioids or stimulants appears to be associated with low levels of support for legalization and modest support for decriminalization. Individuals with cannabis use largely supported cannabis legalization and decriminalization. Reasons behind ratings by persons with opioid and cocaine use should be further evaluated. Evolving social acceptance of illicit drug use may shift attitudes over time.

This study investigates the validity of the Brief Wisconsin Inventory of Smoking Dependence Motives (B-WISDM) among French daily and non-daily university student smokers. Measurement models, measurement invariances, and concurrent and convergent validity with psychosocial and psychopathological variables were tested. Results (1) confirmed the B-WISDM dimensionality in 11 first-order intercorrelated factors; (2) showed its measurement invariance for the types of smokers; (3) showed that tobacco dependence is only and positively predicted by primary dependence motives, which confirm that they are core components of tobacco dependence; and (4) highlighted specific associations between smoking motives and psychological variables, such as smoking identity and perceived behavioral control with some primary dependence motives, social goads with social norms, and weight control with eating disorders. Thus, external validity of the B-WISDM is extended to non-daily smokers. Specific associations of B-WISDM with smoking-related psychological potentially make it a very useful diagnostic tool to support smokers toward quitting.
