Opioid overdose deaths remain high in the U.S. Despite having effective interventions to prevent deaths, there are numerous barriers that impede their adoption. The primary aim of HEALing Communities Study (HCS) is determine impact an intervention consisting community-engaged, data-driven selection, and implementation integrated set evidence-based practices (EBPs) on reducing opioid deaths.The HCS a four year multi-site, parallel-group, cluster randomized wait-list controlled trial. (n = 67)...
Attentional bias has been demonstrated to a variety of substances. Evidence suggests that fixation time is more direct measure attentional than response time. The aims this experiment were demonstrate during the visual probe task sensitive and stable cocaine cue in cocaine-using adults compared controls.A between-subject, repeated-measures experiment.An out-patient research unit.Fifteen using 15 non-cocaine-using recruited from community.Participants completed with eye tracking modified...
In response to the U.S. opioid epidemic, HEALing (Helping End Addiction Long-termSM) Communities Study (HCS) is a multisite, wait-listed, community-level cluster-randomized trial that aims test novel That HEAL (CTH) intervention, in 67 communities. CTH will expand an integrated set of evidence-based practices (EBPs) across health care, behavioral health, justice, and other community-based settings reduce overdose deaths. We present rationale for adaptation RE-AIM/PRISM framework...
The visual probe task with eye tracking is a sensitive measure of cocaine and alcohol cue attentional bias. Despite the high comorbidity between dependence, bias studies have examined influence cocaine- alcohol-related cues separately. aim this experiment was to directly compare magnitude in individuals dependent on or alcohol. Individuals who met criteria for dependence (n = 20) both completed tracking. Cocaine-dependent participants displayed an toward cocaine, but not In contrast,...
To determine whether the Communities That HEAL (CTH) intervention is effective in increasing naloxone distribution compared with usual care.
Abstract Background and Aims Cocaine users display a significant increase in inhibitory failures following cocaine‐related images compared with neutral modified cued Go/No‐Go task, the Attentional Bias–Behavioral Activation (ABBA) task. The aim of this study was to demonstrate that stimulus onset asynchrony (SOA) impacts on ABBA Design A between‐subjects experiment. Setting An out‐patient research unit United States. Participants Ninety‐one cocaine recruited from community. Measurements were...
Background Alcohol consumption is a known antecedent to cocaine relapse. Through associative conditioning, it hypothesized that alcohol increases incentive motivation for and thus the salience of cocaine‐related cues, which are important in maintaining drug‐taking behavior. Cocaine‐using individuals display robust cue attentional bias as measured by fixation time during visual probe task. The purpose this study was evaluate influence administration on using eye‐tracking technology directly...
Impulsive sexual decision-making may underlie risk-taking behavior that contributes to the disproportionately high prevalence of HIV infection among cocaine users. Delay-discounting procedures measure impulsive and provide insight into underlying mechanisms behavior. The anxiolytic drug buspirone reduces delay discounting in rats blunts reinforcing effects some preclinical studies suggesting it might have utility treatment cocaine-use disorders. This study determined whether mitigates risky...
Behavioral economic theory has proved useful for understanding the influence of delay and probability on sexual health decision-making. Demand is another principle at intersection microeconomics psychology that helped advance research relevant to behaviors. The purpose present study was develop test a demand measure related decision-making sexually transmitted infection (STI) risk. Participants (N = 438) recruited using Amazon Mechanical Turk completed commodity purchase task assessing...
Opioid antagonists (eg, naltrexone) and positive modulators of γ-aminobutyric acid type A receptors alprazolam) each modestly attenuate the abuse-related effects stimulants. previous study demonstrated that acute pretreatment with combination naltrexone alprazolam attenuated a greater number subject-rated D-amphetamine than constituent drugs alone. This tested hypothesis maintenance on XR would reinforcing “positive” methamphetamine to extent Eight non–treatment-seeking, stimulant-using...
Cigarette smoking in cocaine users is nearly four times higher than the national prevalence and use increases cigarette smoking. The mechanisms underlying cocaine-using individuals need to be identified promote abstinence. Previous studies have examined salience of cues separately. present aim was determine whether attentional bias (AB) cigarettes smokers who smoke relative only cigarettes. Twenty 20 non-cocaine-using completed a visual probe task with eye-tracking technology. During this...
Background: In an article published in International Journal of the Addictions 1989, Nick Piazza and his coauthors described "telescoping," accelerated progression through "landmark symptoms" alcoholism, among a sample recovering women. Objectives: The aim this critical analysis is to apply feminist philosophy science examine origins framework telescoping research its implications for contemporary scientific inquiry. Methods: A outlined applied key source publications literature drawn from...
