Nexus of Risk: Sexual Assault, Alcohol Use, and Risky Sex Among College Women

Sexual AssaultSubstance Use2 more

Sexual assault on college campuses has reached epidemic proportions, yet the etiological variables responsible for violence against women in these contexts remain unclear. Work on the situational precipitants of sexual assault has relied primarily on women's retrospective accounts, but research has shown that autobiographical memory is plagued by error. This study will use Ecological Momentary Assessment (EMA) to obtain a better understanding of the contextual determinants of sexual assault, as well as the co-occurrence of victimization, risky sex, and substance use. These findings will inform the development of an Ecological Momentary Intervention (EMI) that will provide college women with personalized feedback about their level of risk for victimization and related adverse events. The effectiveness of EMA/EMI in decreasing rates of sexual assault, risky sexual behavior, and substance use then will be evaluated relative to an EMA-only and an assessment-only control group.

Pre-exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP) for Health

Substance DependenceHIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus)

This randomized controlled trial will test the efficacy of "PrEP for Health," a behavioral intervention to improve the use of antiretroviral pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) among at-risk people who inject drugs (PWID) in two syringe service program (SSP) settings in Lawrence and Boston/Cambridge, Massachusetts. The investigators will equally randomize 200 PWID to receive either (a) the "PrEP for Health" intervention condition involving theory-informed HIV and PrEP education, motivational interviewing, problem-solving and planning, and ongoing patient navigation (n=100), or (b) the standard of care condition involving PrEP information and referrals (n=100). Successful PrEP uptake (via medical/pharmacy records), post-treatment PrEP adherence (assessed at 3 months via drug levels in hair), and longer-term PrEP adherence (assessed at 6 and 12 months via drug levels in hair) will be evaluated. The degree to which intervention efficacy occurs through specific conceptual mediators and differs according to hypothesized moderators will also be evaluated.

MIO-CPP to Improve the Well-being, Permanency, and Safety Outcomes for Young Children at Risk of...

Substance Use DisordersParent-Child Relations1 more

The goal of the project is to improve child well-being, permanency, and safety, and reduce the risk for involvement in the child welfare system for families with children pre-birth to five years who are affected by parental substance use disorders (SUD). The project will integrate with SUD treatment programs for pregnant/parenting women and their children and provide an evidence-based therapeutic model, Mothering from the Inside Out (MIO) and Child Parent Psychotherapy (CPP). MIO-CPP promotes the development of parental reflective functioning and strengthen parent/child attachment. The project will also examine the role of Certified Recovery Specialists (CRS) to provide case management services to parents during their enrollment in therapy. MIO is an individual, manualized, psychotherapeutic intervention designed to promote parental reflective functioning in mothers who are in treatment for SUDs and/or other mental health problems, and caring for a child in-utero through five years old. CPP is typically offered through weekly sessions with the mother-child dyad that last 1 to 1.5 hours. The MIO-CPP (intervention) model will begin with 6 sessions of MIO for each study participant, with the CPP assessment and engagement phase embedded during this time. This phase will be followed by the dyadic mother-child phase, the core intervention stage of CPP. If a parent needs additional stabilization, more individual time can be added. During the core phase of dyadic CPP the Child Parent Specialists will continue to build and strengthen parents' reflective functioning by embedding aspects from MIO. Beginning in Phase 2, participant dyads will be assigned a Certified Recovery Specialists (CRSs) who will provide services to support them as they transition out of SUD treatment and back into their home communities. We will recruit and hire 2 PA CRSs to join the therapeutic team. CRS services will include but not be limited to: assisting clients with securing housing and employment and connecting to outpatient and other recovery support services (e.g. 12-step programs), and child, medical and behavioral health care as needed. The plan for the timing to introduce CRS services and their issues of focus will be defined through quality improvement methodology during Phase 1. We will use a quasi-experimental trial design with historical controls as well as qualitative interviews to assess effectiveness and efficiency of MIO-CPP when paired with CRS, on parent and child outcomes including therapy engagement, parent/caregiver well-being, child well-being, and family well-being. The study will take place over two phases. Eligible caregivers in Phase 1 will receive MIO-CPP (control), while participants enrolled in Phase 2 will receive a MIO-CPP while also being paired with a CRS. The recruitment for study participants will stop when 130 mother-child dyads have enrolled in the study. Participants will include mother-child dyads from families involved with residential SUD treatment programs serving women and children in Philadelphia and Bucks counties. In Bucks County we will receive referrals from Libertae Inc. in Bensalem, Pennsylvania (PA). In Philadelphia, we will receive referrals from Gaudenzia Hutchinson Place and the Gaudenzia Winner Program. Data collection from participants will occur at four time points during the study: 1) when participants are enrolled; 2) 3 months following enrollment; 3) 6 months following enrollment; and 4) 9 months following enrollment or when the participant ends their participation in weekly therapy sessions if sooner than 9 months following enrollment. Study measures will include: 1) Parent/Caregiver Well-being: a) maternal reflective functioning, b) depression, anxiety, and trauma-related symptoms, c) parental substance use and move toward recovery; d) parenting stress; e) parent-child relationship; 2) Child Well-being: a) behavior problems, b) executive functions; c) socialization skills; 3) Family Well-being: a) child welfare involvement, b) reunifications. As part of this study, investigator will acquire administrative data about the safety and permanency of children and adult recovery for all study participants. The Primary Investigator will request substance use treatment data from the City of Philadelphia Department of Human Services. The requested data elements will include whether the study child has a child welfare record, the types of allegations of abuse or neglect, and when the allegations occurred (from birth to present day). Additionally, investigators will request all available substance use treatment records will be requested for adults who are a part of a study case for the year prior to enrollment in the study to one year following their enrollment in the study.

ANCHORS Alcohol & Sexual Health Study: UH3 Project

Alcohol UseUnspecified2 more

80 young adult men will complete an initial survey and receive 1 of 2 types of alcohol and sexual health education and information to encourage prevention of alcohol-related problems, HIV and other sexually transmitted infections (STIs). Participants will then take pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) for HIV prevention and complete a daily 5-minute, telephone-based interactive voice response (IVR) assessment of alcohol/substance use, sexual behavior and PrEP taking for 30 days. Medication will all be active PrEP. There is no placebo control in this study. Follow-up will occur after 30-days and 6-months later.

Evaluation of Thiwáhe Gluwáš'Akapi Substance Use Prevention Program

Substance UseSubstance Abuse1 more

Researchers at the Centers for American Indian and Alaska Native Health in the Colorado School of Public Health at the University of Colorado completed an intensive community-engaged process to rigorously adapt the Strengthening Families Program for Parents and Youth 10-14 for the cultural context of a Northern Plains reservation community, creating a program optimized for American Indian families, Thiwáhe Gluwáš'akapi (TG, sacred home in which family is made strong). This study will test the effectiveness of TG for delaying the onset of substance use among young adolescents. In response to requests from participating families and community partners to help address suicide risk among their youth, and based on preliminary evidence that the program may impact risk behaviors beyond substance use, the study will also test suicide risk outcomes among youth. Finally, in recognition of the potential for reciprocal influence on the adults participating in the program with their children, capitalizing on their motivation to make concomitant positive changes in their own lives, the current study will also examine effects on adult substance use. In summary, this study will test the effectiveness of TG for reducing risk for: (1) substance use among youth; (2) suicide risk among youth; and (3) substance abuse among adults.

Electronic SBI(RT) for MSM in Argentina

Substance AbuseHIV

Men who have sex with men (MSM) are disproportionally affected by HIV and substance abuse in the U.S., Europe, and Latin America. However, as in the general population, identifying and engaging MSM with problematic substance use (PSU) into treatment is a significant challenge, which results in the great majority of MSM with PSU never receiving treatment. The proposed study seeks to develop and pilot an electronic-Screening, Brief Intervention, Referral to Treatment (e-SBI-RT)program tailored for MSM awaiting their HIV test at Nexo Asociacion Civil, our community partners in Buenos Aires. The tablet-based e-SBI will integrate substance use and sexual risk behavior screeners and individually tailored Motivational Interviewing (MI) as the BI. We will also adapt and pilot the implementation of the Young Men's Health Project (from YMHP to MHP) a four-session MI-based intervention that effectively reduced substance use and condomless anal intercourse among substance using MSM. The Specific Aims of this R34 study are to: 1) develop the e-SBI intervention for MSM in an HIV testing context to reduce substance use and HIV risk behavior (Primary); 2) assess the feasibility and acceptability of integrating e-SBI into the HIV testing process at Nexo; and 3) assess the feasibility and acceptability of implementing adapted YMHP at Nexo. In Stage 1 (Development) we will develop e-SBI, adapt YMHP into MHP, train MHP counselors, and pilot e-SBI with 50 MSM coming to Nexo for HIV testing. In Stage 2 (RCT Pilot), we will randomize 200 MSM coming to Nexo for HIV testing at a 3:1 ratio (eSBI: Screening Assessments Only-SA) to assess the feasibility and acceptability of e-SBI among MSM coming to Nexo for HIV testing and establish and pilot the RCT process for a future trial. As a secondary aim, we will assess uptake, acceptability, and feasibility of delivering MHP to participants with low or moderate risk substance use and subsequent referrals to substance abuse treatment among participants with high-risk substance use or dependence. Lastly, we will explore preliminary findings on substance use and sexual risk reduction outcomes.

The overall objective of this project is to develop and obtain preliminary data on acceptability, feasibility, and initial efficacy of Native PATHS. This work is guided by the stage model guidelines for treatment development and adaptation 25. Stage 1a will occur in two sequential steps. First, the investigators will recruit youth who are in 5th - 8th grade and their family members (N=24, 12 youth, 12 adults 18+) to participate in three talking circle sessions to obtain feedback on the cultural adaptation and implementation of the treatment. Next, the investigators will conduct an open label pilot (N=9). Youth and their family members, (up to 3 per youth) will provide qualitative and quantitative feedback after each session. In Stage 1b, 60 youth will participate in a pilot randomized controlled trial, testing the efficacy of the newly created program (n=30) against a wait list control (WLC) condition (n=30). Ultimately, this program of research is expected to result in a well-specified, efficacious prevention program that could be readily disseminated and generalizable to other Indigenous populations with minimal adaptation.

iSTART: A Campus & Community Initiative for Services in Tec-health

Substance UseBinge Drinking4 more

The iSTART intervention is a 30-day substance prevention web-app whereby students complete five weekly interactive modules using a smart device or computer. Each module is approximately 15 minutes long, and focuses on a select substance: (i) alcohol, (ii) marijuana, (iii) nicotine, (iv) prescription drugs, and (v) illicit drugs. The modules are based on key theoretical constructs, behavior change strategies, and practical module components: attitudes (knowledge), perceived susceptibility (risk perceptions), subjective norms (normative re-education), and self-efficacy (refusal skills). This intervention will be evaluated via a time series design using a sample of 600 students randomly assigned to either the intervention, comparison, or control condition at a public institution in southern California.
