People with opioid use disorder (OUD) are overrepresented in US correctional facilities and experience disproportionately high risk for overdose after release. Medications OUD (MOUD) highly efficacious but not available to most incarcerated individuals.

Impulsivity is a key feature of opioid use disorder (OUD) and other psychiatric conditions, including posttraumatic stress (PTSD). The relationship between disorders impulsivity may be additive, such that individuals with multiple exhibit greater than those single disorder. However, the association impulsivity, OUD, PTSD unclear. Accordingly, this study compared concurrent OUD (OUD + PTSD; n = 55), without (OUD-PTSD; 34), (n 32), healthy controls (HCs; 55) on Short Urgency, Premeditation,...
Despite advances in headache medicine, there remains little research on process-related variables that mediate relations between and outcomes, as well limited dissemination of optimal statistical methodology for conducting mediation analyses. The present paper thus aims to promote demonstrate a contemporary approach analysis applied headache.An overview path-analytic is presented, with an empirical exemplar illustrative purposes. In the exemplar, management self-efficacy (HMSE) was proposed...
