Neonatal Outcomes after Medications for Opioid Use Disorder during Pregnancy in a State Women's Prison Facility, 2016-2019.

Objective: Although medications for opioid use disorder improve both maternal and neonatal outcomes, little is known about opioid-exposed infants born during episodes of incarceration. The study sought to examine birth outcomes for infants born with opioid exposure during perinatal incarceration.

Methods: Participants were identified from clinic rosters in a Southeastern women's prison (2016-2019).

PrEP and HIV prevention decision-making among social network members of women who have experienced incarceration: a qualitative study.

Incarceration and HIV are a syndemic for US women, yet very few women who have experienced incarceration use pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) for HIV. We conducted semi-structured interviews with 32 participants recruited by women who have experienced incarceration from their social networks, informed by the modified social ecological model for PrEP. Emergent themes from the interviews included individual-level (low personal HIV risk assessment, personal responsibility for HIV prevention, and decisions in addiction versus recovery), network-level (influential sex partners and the importance of trust, supportive treatment peers, and high-risk but indifferent drug use networks), community-level (stigma, and mitigation of stigma in supportive substance use disorder treatment environments), and public policy-level (incarceration and PrEP cost and access) determinants.

Risk and protective factors for heavy episodic drinking among college students: Influence of mental health service use.

This study was designed to assess the relationship between mental health service utilization and heavy episodic drinking (HED) after controlling for demographic and student-level variables. A national sample of college undergraduate respondents to the 2017-2018 Healthy Minds Study survey ( = 67,427). Hierarchical logistic regression entering all variables on a single step.

Medications for opioid use disorder during pregnancy: Access and continuity in a state women's prison facility, 2016-2019.

Background: Although medications to treat opioid use disorder (MOUD) are the standard of care during pregnancy, there are many potential gaps in the cascade of care for pregnant people experiencing incarceration.

Methods: We conducted a retrospective cohort study of pregnant people with opioid use disorder incarcerated in a Southeastern women's prison from 2016 to 2019. The primary outcomes were access to MOUD during incarceration and continuity in the community.

Effect of sub-chronic intermittent ethanol exposure on spatial learning and ethanol sensitivity in adolescent and adult rats.

It has become clear that adolescence is a period of distinct responsiveness to the acute effects of ethanol on learning and other cognitive functions. However, the effects of repeated intermittent ethanol exposure during adolescence on learning and cognition are less well studied, and other effects of repeated ethanol exposure such as withdrawal and chronic tolerance complicate such experiments. Moreover, few studies have compared the effects of repeated ethanol exposure during adolescence and adulthood, and they have yielded mixed outcomes that may be related to methodological differences and/or secondary effects of ethanol on behavioral performance.
