Drug-induced homicide (DIH) laws create specific criminal liability for individuals who provide drugs that cause or contribute to the death of another person. DIH prosecutions in the United States have increased substantially over the past decade despite the absence of meaningful evidence of their individual- or community-level impacts. Recently, Lee et al. analyzed the impact of DIH laws on county-level opioid overdose mortality across 92 counties in 10 states and concluded that DIH laws are associated with significant reductions in rates of opioid overdose death. In this commentary, we present evidence demonstrating that the Lee et al. study is fundamentally flawed. Specifically, the legal data used by Lee et al. to define their treatment condition (the presence or absence of a state-level DIH law) is incorrect in almost every aspect. We also describe significant methodological weaknesses, including flawed sampling strategies that resulted in a biased sample of county overdose rates as well as flawed modeling strategies that cannot effectively evaluate the hypothesis that DIH laws negatively impact opioid overdose mortality. More research on the individual- and community-level impacts of DIH laws is needed. In the meantime, we advise policymakers to strengthen state 911 Good Samaritan laws, as DIH laws appear to erode the efficacy of this proven overdose-prevention strategy. 2021年,药物过量在美国夺去了100,000多人的生命。药物诱发杀人(DIH) 法对那些提供“导致或促成他人死亡”的药物的个人规定了特定的刑事责任。过去十年,美国的DIH起诉案件显著增加,尽管没有确凿证据证明其对个人或社区的影响。近年来,Lee等人分析了DIH法律对10个州92个县的阿片类药物过量死亡率的影响,并得出结论认为,DIH法律与阿片类药物过量死亡率的显著降低有关。本篇评论文中,我们提供证据证明,Lee等人的研究存在根本性缺陷。具体而言,Lee等人就定义其治疗条件(即是否存在州级DIH法)而使用的法律数据几乎在每个方面都是不正确的。我们还描述了重大的方法论缺陷,包括错误的抽样策略和建模策略,前者导致县级药物过量致死率样本的偏差,后者无法有效评价“DIH法律对阿片类药物过量死亡率产生负面影响”这一假设。需要更多研究聚焦于DIH法律对个人和社区层面的影响。同时,我们建议决策者加强各州的911《好撒玛利亚人法》,因为DIH法律似乎削弱了这一经过验证的药物过量预防策略的效能。 La sobredosis de drogas cobró más de 100,000 vidas en los Estados Unidos en 2021. Las leyes de homicidio inducido por drogas (DIH, por sus siglas en inglés) crean una responsabilidad penal específica para las personas que proporcionan drogas que causan o contribuyen a la muerte de otra persona. Los enjuiciamientos de DIH en los Estados Unidos han aumentado sustancialmente durante la última década a pesar de la ausencia de evidencia significativa de sus impactos a nivel individual o comunitario. Recientemente, Lee et al. analizó el impacto de las leyes DIH en la mortalidad por sobredosis de opioides a nivel de condado en 92 condados en 10 estados y concluyó que las leyes DIH están asociadas con reducciones significativas en las tasas de muerte por sobredosis de opioides. En este comentario, presentamos evidencia que demuestra que Lee et al. estudio es fundamentalmente defectuoso. Específicamente, los datos legales utilizados por Lee et al. definir su condición de tratamiento (la presencia o ausencia de una ley DIH a nivel estatal) es incorrecto en casi todos los aspectos. También describimos debilidades metodológicas significativas, incluidas estrategias de muestreo defectuosas que dieron como resultado una muestra sesgada de las tasas de sobredosis del condado, así como estrategias de modelado defectuosas que no pueden evaluar de manera efectiva la hipótesis de que las leyes DIH tienen un impacto negativo en la mortalidad por sobredosis de opioides. Se necesita más investigación sobre los impactos a nivel individual y comunitario de las leyes DIH. Mientras tanto, recomendamos a los legisladores que fortalezcan las Leyes del Buen Samaritano 911 estatales, ya que las leyes DIH parecen erosionar la eficacia de esta estrategia comprobada de prevención de sobredosis. Drug-induced homicide laws create specific criminal liability for individuals who provide drugs that cause or contribute to the death of another person and are increasingly used in the United States despite little evidence of their impact on overdose and other harms. This paper critically evaluates a recent paper that analyzed the impact of these laws on county-level opioid overdose mortality across 92 counties in 10 US states, concluding that these laws are associated with reduced opioid overdose deaths. We present evidence demonstrating that the previous paper is fundamentally flawed, detailing serious errors in the underlying legal research as well as significant methodological weaknesses that render the results of the paper unreliable. Reliable research on the impact of these laws is urgently needed. In the meantime, policymakers are urged to implement policies with robust evidence demonstrating their overdose-prevention impacts: medications for opioid use disorder, naloxone access, and syringe services programs. Drug overdose claimed more than 107,000 lives in the United States in 2021 (Ahmad et al., 2022). Between 2019 and 2020, the national rate of overdose deaths involving synthetic opioids, such as fentanyl, increased by 5%, representing more than 80% of all opioid-related fatalities (US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2022b). Current evidence suggests that illicitly manufactured fentanyl has become pervasive in the US drug supply (Jones et al., 2018; Martinez et al., 2021; Park et al., 2018). Though the changing nature of the drug supply is producing shifts in consumer preference—including some consumer preference for fentanyl above other opioid products (Ciccarone, 2019)—evidence overwhelmingly indicates that fentanyl has entered the US drug supply as a result of supply-side forces and not in response to clear demand from drug consumers (Carroll et al., 2017; Hempstead & Yildirim, 2014; Mars et al., 2018). The end result is a drug supply that is more varied, less predictable, and, as a direct consequence of that unpredictability, deadlier compared to previous decades. State-level drug-induced homicide (DIH) laws create specific criminal liability for individuals who sell or deliver drugs that subsequently cause or contribute to the death of another person. Although most state DIH laws were first enacted during the height of the “War on Drugs” in the 1980s and 1990s (Keilman, 2018), their use has dramatically increased over the past few years due to both a resurgence in prosecution under existing laws and the enactment of new state laws. According to research from the Health in Justice Action Lab, the number of DIH prosecutions (2021) has grown approximately 10-fold over the last decade (Figure 1). DIH laws are often described as efforts to deter illegal drug distribution or, at a minimum, deter the distribution of potent synthetic opioids such as fentanyl and fentanyl analogs (Perrotti, 2018) by increasing the severity of the penalties that can be levied against people who provide drugs that contribute to another person's death—a cornerstone of criminal deterrence theory (Braga & Weisburd, 2015). Moral and ideological purposes, such as seeking justice for surviving family and friends of the deceased and “honoring” the life of the person who suffered a fatal overdose, have also been claimed by prosecuting attorneys as motivations for pursuing these charges (Doiron, 2018; Office of the DuPage County State's Attorney, 2021; Rothberg & Stith, 2018). While emerging evidence suggests that media coverage of DIH prosecutions may be associated with fluctuations in the local drug supply, potentially increasing the risk of fatal overdose (Carroll et al., 2021), the impact of DIH laws on overdose deaths has not been systematically evaluated. Despite this lack of evidence, DIH laws have been enthusiastically promoted by many law enforcement officials, prosecutors, and legislators across the United States (Office of the Attorney General, 2018; United States Drug Enforcement Administration, 2018). Studies on the impacts of other criminal drug policies offer reason to question whether DIH laws (or their enforcement through arrest, prosecution, and conviction) are capable of having a meaningful impact on opioid overdose, however they are implemented. Current literatures provide evidence that deterrence through threat of criminal punishment largely reshapes how drug suppliers act, altering not whether but the manner in which individuals go about producing or distributing illicit substances—often pressuring behavior changes that have a deleterious effect on community health, such as increased HIV risk (Friedman et al., 2006) and risk of other drug-related harms among people who use drugs (Barratt et al., 2005; Dickinson, 2017). Furthermore, a growing body of evidence from the United States and Canada indicates that strong social ties between drug suppliers and drug consumers may be protective against overdose, suggesting that the prosecution and incarceration of suppliers (which DIH laws ostensibly aim to do) may have the potential to increase opioid-related mortality (Carroll et al., 2017, 2020; McKnight & Des Jarlais, 2018; Rhodes et al., 2019). A recent case study examining the community-level impacts of a high-profile DIH case in North Carolina supports this conjecture (Carroll et al., 2021). In an analysis published in the Journal of Drug Issues in April 2022, Lee et al. (2022a) respond to the current gap in evidence by evaluating the impact of DIH laws on opioid overdose mortality in a sample of 92 US counties in 10 US states and the District of Columbia. From their analysis, Lee et al. (2022a) conclude that the enactment of a DIH law carrying a life sentence is associated with an average annual reduction of 2.24 opioid overdoses per 100,000 population. To illustrate the size of that effect, a hypothetical reduction of 2.24 deaths per 100,000 would represent a decrease of more than 8% in statewide opioid overdose mortality in Arizona and Colorado—two states in which a DIH conviction carries a life sentence—based on 2020 data (Arizona Department of Health Services, 2022; Colorado Department of Public Health & Environment, 2022). This finding is noteworthy, because, to date, few policy interventions have been identified that are capable of such sizeable impact on opioid overdose mortality rates in the United States. In fact, we are aware of only two such interventions that have been identified over the now decade-long course of the US overdose epidemic; first, the establishment of low-barrier, long-term treatment with medications for opioid use disorder for persons incarcerated by the Rhode Island Department of Corrections was associated with a 12.5% reduction in overdose mortality statewide (Green et al., 2018); second, naloxone access laws and Good Samaritan laws—key pillars in the US Center for Disease Control and Prevention's (CDC) strategies for overdose prevention (Carroll et al., 2018)—have been associated with reductions in fatal overdose of 14% and 15%, respectively (McClellan et al., 2018). To the best of our knowledge, no other policy intervention has been shown to be as effective in preventing overdose as these. Thus, the identification of another policy intervention capable of producing similar reductions in opioid overdose death, which Lee et al. (2022a) suggest DIH laws may be, would be truly momentous. Unfortunately, we find the analysis presented by Lee et al. (2022a) to be fundamentally flawed due to incorrect data and a poor methodological approach—concerns that, together and independently, merit the rejection of their conclusions. In the sections below, we briefly describe the study undertaken by Lee et al., after which we outline errors in measurement, sampling, and modeling that render the findings produced through this analysis completely uninformative. Specifically, we offer the following observations: (1) virtually all legal data about state-level DIH laws (including, but not limited to, the dates upon which those laws were enacted or amended) included in the analysis—the primary exposure variable used in the study—are incorrect; (2) the sample of US counties included in the analysis is highly selected, representing a mere 14% of counties in the 10 states of interest among which urban counties with higher populations are problematically over-represented; and (3) the estimation strategy used is incapable of identifying the causal effect of DIH laws and likely to produce a spurious correlation even if a true causal relationship were to exist. Lee et al. (2022a) provide some information regarding the methods used in the paper, although they fall short of minimal methodological reporting standards, especially for papers that include variables created through novel legal research (i.e., research into the history of state-level legislative actions). Approximately one year after the publication of the original article, the authors published a correction, in which certain—but not all—methodological details were clarified (Lee et al., 2022b). In brief, they use the existence or absence of a state-level DIH law as a predictor variable and county-level annual opioid overdose mortality rate as their outcome variable. They use a sample of counties from states with DIH laws carrying a minimum sentence of more than 2 years that they describe in their original article as being “effective as of 2018” (Lee et al., 2022a). In the correction to the original article, they state that they “operationalized the DIH [law] effective date as when those amendments explicitly referenced opioids as controlled substances or included specifications to minimum and maximum penalty” (Lee et al., 2022b). Asserting the use of these selection criteria, they include 10 states (Colorado, Florida, Illinois, Kansas, Louisiana, North Carolina, New Jersey, Nevada, Oklahoma, and Washington) representing a total of 656 unique counties, and the District of Columbia. Neither in the original article nor in the correction do the authors provide any information as to how the legal information used in the analysis, including information about the state laws and the respective provisions within those laws as presented in the paper, was collected or analyzed. Nevertheless, Lee et al. separate those 10 states into six, which they claim require a mandatory minimum sentence of less than life imprisonment and four, which they claim require a life sentence. The authors include individual counties within those 10 states in the sample only if county-level opioid mortality rates were calculated and published in the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Wide-ranging ONline Data for Epidemiologic Research (CDC WONDER) database for every year beginning in 2013 and ending in 2018, the observation period chosen for the study (Lee et al., 2022b). Importantly, counties with low overdose rates are suppressed from WONDER due to privacy concerns through deductive disclosure (we discuss this in detail below), though the authors make no mention of this limitation. The final sample excludes 86% of counties in these states, leaving only 92 counties and the District of Columbia for the analysis (Lee et al., 2022a). six dichotomous variables describing opioid-related state policies (minimum life sentence for DIH convictions; minimum sentence of less than life for DIH convictions; mandatory prescription drug monitoring program laws; the existence of medical marijuana dispensaries; treatment capacity for MOUD; and naloxone access laws), though how the presence or absence of a naloxone access law was defined and how the presence or absence of such laws in each state was assessed is not described; three continuous variables describing county-level socioeconomic conditions (opioid prescription rate; unemployment rate; uninsured rate); and a 1-year lag of the county's opioid-related mortality rate. The state sentencing policies (minimum life sentence and minimum sentence of less than life) of DIH laws are the “treatment variables” for which the authors wish to investigate association or effect. The authors also include subsequently described county-level fixed effects in their analysis to address the potential correlation between DIH laws and time-invariant, omitted county characteristics. Following Arellano and Bover (1995), they also attempt to correct for endogeneity in the socioeconomic variables and opioid-related mortality lag by using opioid morality lags as instrumental variables. However, it is the endogeneity of DIH laws that is problematic for this analysis (also discussed further below). Rather than addressing this issue, the authors assume that all policy indicators, including enacted DIH laws, are “strictly exogenous.” Based on this model, Lee et al. (2022a) conclude that county-level opioid overdose mortality rates significantly declined after DIH laws with a mandatory minimum sentence of life imprisonment became effective in each county's respective state, stating that “DIH [law] implementation may have deterred drug dealers from supplying illicit opioids to populations at risk for opioid dependence and abuse.” More briefly, in their abstract, the authors state that these findings “suggest that DIH [law] implementation has curtailed the rate of opioid mortality” (Lee et al., 2022a). As stated above, the presence or absence of a state-level DIH law (with and without an accompanying minimum life sentence) was chosen as the treatment variable for the authors' model. Lee et al. do not provide any citations to the specific laws referenced or included in the study, nor do they describe what they consider to be a DIH law, how state laws were identified, or what legal analysis was undertaken to ensure that the laws included in the model meet the inclusion criteria. Perhaps because none of the authors are lawyers, the key legal variables that Lee et al. define and use in the paper are incorrect in nearly every particular. In fact, a thorough legal analysis, conducted by trained attorneys (authors Davis, Lieberman, and Dennis), reveals that every single effective date presented by Lee et al. for the 10 states and the District of Columbia—the entire sample included in the analysis, however that date is operationalized—is incorrect. The errors in effective dates presented by Lee et al. take several forms. In many cases, the dates listed in Lee et al's. table 1 (2022a), which includes more states than the 10 included in the analysis, are not the dates the relevant law was first enacted (see Table 1). In some cases, the dates provided by Lee et al. coincide with recent modifications to the already enacted state law in question—often extremely minor modifications. In other cases, our legal analysis was unable to identify any legislative action related to DIH laws that corresponds to the dates Lee et al. provided. In any case, the enactment dates given by Lee et al. for all 10 states included in their analysis (Colorado, Florida, Illinois, Kansas, Louisiana, North Carolina, New Jersey, Nevada, Oklahoma, and Washington) and the date given for the District of Columbia are incorrect. Additionally, despite sentence length being a key “treatment variable” according to Lee et al., many of the minimum and maximum sentences presented in the paper are also incorrect (see Table 2). In the methodology provided by Lee et al., there is no explanation of how the minimums and maximums were determined, which is especially relevant for states that use presumptive sentencing ranges such as Alaska, Kansas, North Carolina, and Washington, where the presumptive minimums and maximums may differ depending on the criminal history of the individual charged with violating the DIH law. The authors list the effective date of Colorado's law as July 1, 2016. In fact, the relevant section of Colorado's law, Colo. Rev. Stat. Ann. § 18-3-102(1)(e), has existed since 1990. 1990 Colo. Legis. Serv. S.B. 90-121 (West). Contrary to the claims made by the authors, no amendment to this law was enacted in 2016. The penalty statute located at Colo. Rev. Stat. Ann. § 18-1.3-401(1)(a)(I) was amended multiple times between January 1, 2010, and December 31, 2018, including in 2016; however, no changes were made to the applicable presumptive penalty range. The authors list the effective date of Florida's law as October 1, 2017. In fact, Florida's DIH law has existed since before October 1987. Before the 1987 amendments, the law applied only to covered deaths that result from “the unlawful distribution of opium or any synthetic or natural salt, compound, derivative, or preparation of opium.” The October 1, 1987, amendments added “any substance controlled under S.893.03(1)” and “cocaine as described in S.893.03(2)(A).” 1987 Fla. Sess. Law Serv. 87-243 (West). This law was indeed amended on October 1, 2017 to include fentanyl, carfentanil, sufentanil, and controlled substance analogs. 2017 Fla. Sess. Law Serv. Ch. 2017-107 (C.S.H.B. 477) (West). See 1987 Fla. Sess. Law Serv. 87-243. Contrary to the claims made by the authors, however, this amendment did not include specifications of minimum or maximum sentencing for DIH and, as described above, both natural and synthetic opioids were included in the law before 1987. The authors list the mandatory minimum penalty for violation of Florida's DIH law as “40+” and the maximum penalty as life. However, pursuant to Fla. Stat. § 782.04(1)(a), the DIH law is classified as “murder in the first degree and constitutes a capital felony.” Pursuant to Fla. Stat. § 775.082(1)(a), capital felonies are punished by life imprisonment without parole unless the sentence proceedings result in the determination that the person should be punished by death. Therefore, the authors' mandatory minimum and maximum numbers are incorrect. The authors list the effective date of Illinois’ law as January 1, 2018. In fact, Illinois has had a DIH law since January 1, 1989. 1988 Ill. Legis. Serv. P.A. 85-1259. The act was amended effective January 1, 2018, to allow for the prosecution of acts constituting DIH in violation of the law of other jurisdictions. See 2017 Ill. Legis. Serv. P.A. 100-404. Contrary to the claims made by the authors, this amendment did not mention opioids or include specifications of minimum or maximum sentencing. The authors list the mandatory minimum penalty for Illinois’ law as 20 years and the maximum as 59 years. In fact, pursuant to 720 Ill. Comp. Stat. 5/9-3.3, DIH is a Class X felony unless the circumstances warrant enhancements. Pursuant to 730 Ill. Comp. Stat. 5/5-4.5-25(a), a Class X felony is punishable by “not less than 6 years and not more than 30 years.” The authors list the effective date of the Kansas law as July 1, 2017. In fact, the Kansas DIH law, Kan. Stat. Ann. § 21-5430, was enacted on July 1, 2013. Contrary to the claims made by the authors, this law has not been amended since it was first enacted. The authors list the mandatory minimum penalty for Kansas's law as 19 years and the maximum as 22. Kansas's DIH law classifies the distribution of a controlled substance causing death as a nondrug, severity level I, person felony; therefore, the applicable presumptive sentencing grid is Kan. Stat. Ann. § 21-6804. (See Kan. Stat. Ann. § 21-5430.) Under the grid, the presumptive sentencing range for an individual with no prior record convicted of a severity level I is 147–165 months, which corresponds to approximately 12.25 to 13.75 years, contrary to the authors' claims. While the applicable sentencing grid located at Kan. Stat. Ann. 21-6804 has been modified multiple times, including a modification effective July 1, 2017, none of the modifications were related to the relevant presumptive range. The authors list the effective date of the Louisiana law as August 1, 2015. In fact, under La. Rev. Stat. Ann. § 14:30.1(A)(3), Louisiana has criminalized the unlawful distribution of a controlled substance that directly causes the death of another since September 1987. S.B. 191, 1987 La. Sess. Law Serv. 465 (West). Parts of Louisiana's homicide laws were modified in 2015; however, contrary to the claims made by the authors the relevant section of this law (pertaining to DIH) was not. Specifically, the statute was amended in 2015 to clarify terms related to rape. 2015 La. Sess. Law Serv. Act 184 (H.B. 139) (West). The authors list the effective date of North Carolina's law as December 1, 2017. In fact, North Carolina's homicide law (N.C. Gen. Stat. § 14-17(b)(2)) has defined death as “proximately caused by the unlawful distribution of opium or any synthetic or natural salt, compound, derivative, or preparation of opium” as second-degree murder since 1980. See 1979 North Carolina S.B. 1054 (1979). This law was amended on December 1, 2017 to specifically include certain fentanyl derivatives, synthetic cannabinoids, and other Schedule III, IV, and V substances; however, contrary to the claims made by the authors, this amendment did not include specifications of minimum or maximum sentencing for DIH and, as described above, opioids were included in the law as early as 1980. 2017 North Carolina H.B. 464 (West). The authors list the effective date of the Nevada law as July 1, 2013. In fact, Nevada has had a DIH law since July 1983. 1983 Nevada Laws Ch. 218 (A.B. 389). While this law only applied to minors, a more comprehensive DIH law was enacted in 1985. 1985 Nevada Laws Ch. 527 (A.B. 620). The statute containing penalties for murder (Nev. Rev. Stat. § 200.030) was modified effective July 1, 2013, solely to replace “mental retardation” with “an intellectual disability.” 2013 Nevada Laws Ch. 186 (S.B. 338) (West). Contrary to the claims made by the authors, there were no relevant substantive changes on that date. The authors list the mandatory minimum penalty for Nevada's DIH law as 24 years and the maximum as life. In fact, pursuant to Nev. Rev. Stat. § 453.333 and Nev. Rev. Stat. § 200.030, Nevada's DIH law is punishable by death, life imprisonment, or 50 years if convicted of first-degree murder or, for second-degree murder, by life imprisonment or 25 years. The authors list the effective date of the New Jersey law as August 8, 2013. In fact, the law we presume they refer to, N.J. Stat. Ann. § 2C:35-9, has been in effect since July 1987. L.1987, c. 106, § 1 (1987). The definition of “controlled dangerous substance” was modified effective March 12, 2013, to include certain synthetic cannabinoids. (N.J. Stat. Ann. § 2C:35-2) 2013 NJ Sess. Law Serv. Ch. 35 (Senate 1783) (West). No references to opioids were added or modified on that date. The penalty statute (N.J. Stat. Ann. § 2C:43-6(a)(1)) was amended effective August 8, 2013 to make changes related to firearm enhancements that do not impact the DIH provisions. 2013 NJ Sess. Law Serv. Ch. 113 (Senate 2804) (West). The authors list the mandatory minimum penalty for New Jersey's law as nine years and the maximum as 19 years. Pursuant to N.J. Stat. Ann. § 2C:35-9, New Jersey's DIH law is a “crime of the first degree,” which, according to N.J. Stat. Ann. § 2C:43-6(a)(1), is punishable with a sentence between 10 and 20 years, contrary to the authors' claim. The authors list the effective date of the Oklahoma law as November 1, 2017. In fact, Okla. Stat. Ann. tit. 21, § 701.7(B) defined first-degree murder to include the taking of the life of another human being through the unlawful distribution or dispensing of a controlled substance or trafficking in illegal drugs since 1989. 1989 Okla. Sess. Law Serv. 259. In 2012, synthetic controlled substances were added to the list of included drugs. SB 987, 2012 Okla. Sess. Law Serv. Ch. 208. Contrary to the claims made by the authors, this law was not amended in 2017. The penalty statute, Okla. Stat. Ann. tit. 21, § 701.9(A), was amended effective November 1, 2017, to require “an overwhelming amount of mitigating evidence” to allow “the benefit of receiving imprisonment for life or deferment of the sentence,” but this applies only when the victim is an on-duty law enforcement officer, correctional officer, or correctional employee. 2017 Okla. Sess. Law Serv. Ch. 169 (H.B. 1306) (West). No other changes were made to the sentencing statute on that date. The authors list the effective date of the Washington law as July 24, 2015. In fact, the relevant law, Wash. Rev. Code Ann. § 69.50.415, was first enacted in 1987. 1987 Wash. Legis. Serv. Ch. 458 § 2. Contrary to the claims made by the authors, this law was not amended in 2015. Washington's controlled substance definitions were amended in 2015 due to a change in cannabis laws. 2015 Wash. Legis. Serv. Ch. 70 (S.S.S.B. 5052) (West). No changes related to opioids were made on that date. The authors list the mandatory minimum penalty for Washington's law as nine years and the maximum also as nine years. However, Washington's DIH law is classified as a Class B felony. Wash. Rev. Code Ann. § 69.50.415. Pursuant to Wash. Rev. Code Ann. §§ 9A.20.021(1)(b), the maximum penalty for a Class B felony is 10 years or a $25,000 fine, or both. Further, pursuant to Wash. Rev. Code Ann. § 9.94A.518, Washington's DIH law is classified as a “seriousness level” III drug offense. Washington's sentencing grid, located at Wash. Rev. Code Ann. § 9.94A.517, provides that a seriousness level III conviction for a person with no prior record carries the standard sentencing range of 51–68 months equaling approximately 4.25–5.67 years, making the minimum sentence 4.25 years, contrary to the authors' claims. The authors list the effective date of the District of Columbia's DIH law as June 11, 2013. Rather, the District has had a DIH law since at least September 1992. See 1992 District of Columbia Laws 9-153 (Act 9–213). The penalty statute (D.C. Code § 22-2104) was amended effective June 11, 2013, to add subsection (e) related to limiting fines. Contrary to the claims made by the authors, no changes to sentencing amounts were made on that date. 2012 District of Columbia Laws 19-317 (Act 19-641) (West). The authors list the mandatory minimum penalty for the District of Columbia as 29 years. Pursuant to D.C. Code § 22-2101,}, journal={WORLD MEDICAL & HEALTH POLICY}, author={Carroll, Jennifer J.

These 93 municipalities were selected based on a threshold of 30 or more opioid-related emergency medical services (EMS) responses in 2015. Data were analyzed from November 2021 to August 2022.The main exposure was municipality postoverdose outreach programs. Municipalities had various program inceptions during the study period.The primary outcome was quarterly municipal opioid fatality rate per 100 000 population. The secondary outcome was quarterly municipal opioid-related EMS response (ambulance trips) rates per 100 000 population.The mean (SD) population size across 93 municipalities was 47 622 (70 307), the mean (SD) proportion of female individuals was 51.5% (1.5%) and male individuals was 48.5% (1.5%), and the mean (SD) age proportions were 29.7% (4.0%) younger than 25 years, 26.0% (4.8%) aged 25 to 44 years, 14.8% (2.1%) aged 45 to 54 years, 13.4% (2.1%) aged 55 to 64 years, and 16.1% (4.4%) aged 65 years or older. Postoverdose programs were implemented in 58 municipalities (62%). Following implementation, there were no significant level changes in opioid fatality rate (adjusted rate ratio [aRR], 1.07; 95% CI, 0.96-1.19; P = .20). However, there was a significant slope decrease in opioid fatality rate (annualized aRR, 0.94; 95% CI, 0.90-0.98; P = .003) compared with the municipalities without the outreach programs. Similarly, there was a significant slope decrease in opioid-related EMS response rates (annualized aRR, 0.93; 95% CI, 0.89-0.98; P = .007). Several sensitivity analyses yielded similar findings.In this study, among Massachusetts municipalities with high numbers of opioid-related EMS responses, implementation of postoverdose outreach programs was significantly associated with lower opioid fatality rates over time compared with municipalities that did not implement such programs. Program components, including cross-sectoral partnerships, operational best practices, involvement of law enforcement, and related program costs, warrant further evaluation to enhance effectiveness.}, journal={JAMA PSYCHIATRY}, author={Xuan, Ziming and Yan, Shapei and Formica, Scott W. and Green, Traci C. and Beletsky, Leo and Rosenbloom, David and Bagley, Sarah M. and Kimmel, Simeon D. and Carroll, Jennifer J. and Lambert, Audrey M. and et al.}, year={2023}, month={Mar} } @article{kimmel_xuan_yan_lambert_formica_green_carroll_bagley_rosenbloom_beletsky_et al._2023, title={Characteristics of post-overdose outreach programs and municipal-level opioid overdose in Massachusetts}, volume={120}, ISSN={["1873-4758"]}, DOI={10.1016/j.drugpo.2023.104164}, abstractNote={Post-overdose outreach programs have proliferated in response to opioid overdose. Implementing these programs is associated with reductions in overdose rates, but the role of specific program characteristics in overdose trends has not been evaluated. Among 58 Massachusetts municipalities with post-overdose outreach programs, we examined associations between five domains of post-overdose outreach program characteristics (outreach contact rate, naloxone distribution, coercive practices, harm reduction activities, and social service provision or referral) and rates of fatal opioid overdoses and opioid-related emergency medical system responses (i.e., ambulance activations) per calendar quarter from 2013 to 2019 using segmented regression analyses with adjustment for municipal covariates and fixed effects. For both outcomes, each domain was modeled: a) individually, b) with other characteristics, and c) with other characteristics and municipal-level fixed effects. There were no significant associations (p < 0.05) between outreach contact rate, naloxone distribution, coercive practices, or harm reduction activities with municipal fatal overdose trends. Municipalities with programs providing or referring to more social services experienced 21% fewer fatal overdoses compared to programs providing or referring to more social services (Rate Ratio (RR) 0.79, 95% Confidence Interval (CI) 0.66–0.93, p = 0.01). Compared to municipalities in quarters when programs had no outreach contacts, municipalities with some, but less than the median outreach contacts, experienced 14% lower opioid-related emergency responses (RR 0.86, 95% CI 0.78–0.96, p = 0.01). Associations between naloxone distribution, coercive practices, harm reduction practices, or social services and opioid-related emergency responses were not consistently significant across modeling approaches. Municipalities with post-overdose outreach programs providing or referring to more social services had lower fatal opioid overdose rates. Municipalities in quarters when programs outreached to overdose survivors had fewer opioid-related emergency responses, but only among programs with below the median number of outreach contacts.

To test the hypothesis that law enforcement efforts to disrupt local drug markets by seizing opioids or stimulants are associated with increased spatiotemporal clustering of overdose events in the surrounding geographic area. Methods. We performed a retrospective (January 1, 2020 to December 31, 2021), population-based cohort study using administrative data from Marion County, Indiana. We compared frequency and characteristics of drug (i.e., opioids and stimulants) seizures with changes in fatal overdose, emergency medical services nonfatal overdose calls for service, and naloxone administration in the geographic area and time following the seizures. Results. Within 7, 14, and 21 days, opioid-related law enforcement drug seizures were significantly associated with increased spatiotemporal clustering of overdoses within radii of 100, 250, and 500 meters. For example, the observed number of fatal overdoses was two-fold higher than expected under the null distribution within 7 days and 500 meters following opioid-related seizures. To a lesser extent, stimulant-related drug seizures were associated with increased spatiotemporal clustering overdose. Conclusions. Supply-side enforcement interventions and drug policies should be further explored to determine whether they exacerbate an ongoing overdose epidemic and negatively affect the nation’s life expectancy.

Interview transcripts were inductively analyzed to identify emergent themes and subsequently organized within the framework of Ecological Systems Theory.Forty-nine interviews were conducted, including 15 police officers (80% male, 100% non-Hispanic White); 23 public health partners (48% male, 87% non-Hispanic White); 8 overdose survivors who received outreach services and 3 parents of survivors who received services (collectively 27% male, 64% non-Hispanic White). Implementation factors identified across all levels (macrosystem, exosystem, mesosystem, and microsystem) of Ecological Systems Theory included key program facilitators, such as access to police data and funding (macro), interagency collaboration (exo), shared recognition of community needs (exo), supportive relationships among team members (meso), and program champions (micro). Common barriers included inherent contradictions between policing and public health mandates (macro), poor local treatment and service capacity (exo), divergent staff views of program goals (exo), overdose survivors' prior negative experiences with law enforcement (meso), difficulty locating overdose survivors (meso), and police officers' lack of qualifications or training in providing psycho-social services (micro).Most post-overdose outreach programs in this study were dependent on funding and data-sharing partnerships, which police agencies largely controlled.

This study explores the law enforcement interactions experienced by SSP participants since the enactment of this law. Methods This study used a convergent, mixed-methods design consisting of structured surveys and semi-structured interviews with SSP participants in seven NC counties. Survey and interview data were collected simultaneously between January and November 2019. This survey was designed to capture demographics, characteristics of drug use, SSP services used, and past-year negative experiences with law enforcement (officer did not recognize SSP card, did not believe SSP card belonged to participant, confiscated SSP card, confiscated syringes, or arrested participant for possessing syringes). Semi-structured interviews explored lived experiences with and perspectives on the same topics covered in the survey. Results A total of 414 SSP participants completed the survey (45% male, 54% female, 1% transgender or non-binary; 65% White, 22% Black, 5% American Indian/Alaskan Native, 8% some other racial identity). 212 participants (51.2%) reported at least one past-year negative experience with law enforcement. Chi-square testing suggests that Black respondents were more likely to report having experienced law enforcement doubt their SSP card belonged to them. Interview data indicate that law enforcement practices vary greatly across counties, and that negative and/or coercive interactions reduce expectations among SSP participants that they will be afforded the protections granted by NC law. Conclusion Despite laws which protect SSP participants from charges, negative law enforcement responses to syringe possession are still widely reported. Evidence-based policy interventions to reduce fatal overdose are undermined by these experiences. Our findings suggest NC residents, and officers who enforce these laws, may benefit from clarification as to what is required of the documents which identify participants of registered SSPs where they may legally obtain syringes. Likewise, more thorough trainings on NC’s syringe law for law enforcement officers may be merited.

We used the consolidated framework for implementation research to identify implementation barriers and facilitators.This implementation effort was facilitated by the organization's shared culture of harm reduction-which fostered shared implementation goals and beliefs about the intervention among staff persons-its horizontal organizational structure, strong identification with the organization among staff, and strong relationships with external funders. Barriers to implementation included the technological complexity of the advanced spectroscopy devices utilized for drug checking. Program staff indicated that commercially available spectroscopy devices are powerful but not always well-suited for drug checking efforts, describing their technological capacities as "the Bronze Age of Drug Checking." Other significant barriers include the legal ambiguity of drug checking services, disruptive and oppositional police activity, and the responses and programmatic changes demanded by the COVID-19 pandemic.For harm reduction organizations to be successful in efforts to implement and scale drug checking services, these critical barriers-especially regressive policing policies and prohibitive costs-need to be addressed.

We used mixed methods to understand approaches to outreach related to warrant checking, from the perspectives of police and public health outreach agencies and staff.We analyzed a 2019 statewide survey of post-overdose outreach programs in Massachusetts to classify approaches to warrant checking and identify program and community factors associated with particular approaches. Ethnographic analysis of qualitative interviews conducted with outreach staff helped further contextualize outreach program practices related to warrants.A majority (57% - 79/138) of post-overdose outreach programs in Massachusetts conducted warrant checks prior to outreach. Among programs that checked warrants, we formulated a taxonomy of approaches to handling warrants: 1) performing outreach without addressing warrants (19.6% - 27/138), 2) delaying outreach until warrants are cleared (15.9% - 22/138), 3) arresting the survivor (11/138 - 8.0%), 4) taking a situational approach (10/138 - 7.2%), 5) not performing outreach (9/138 - 6.5%). Program characteristics and staff training did not vary across approaches. From police and public health outreach staff interviews (n = 38), we elicited four major themes: a) diverse motivations precede warrant checking, b) police officers feel tension between dual roles, c) warrants alter approaches to outreach, and d) teams leverage warrants in relationships. Findings from both analyses converged to demonstrate unintended consequences of warrant checking.Checking warrants prior to post-overdose outreach visits can result in arrest, delayed outreach, and barriers to obtaining services for overdose survivors, which can undermine the goal of these programs to engage overdose survivors.

First, how is the epistemic authority of law enforcement over the material realities of the drug market produced? Second, in the context of that authority, what are the socio-political implications of technologically advanced drug checking instruments in the hands of people who use drugs? The expertise that people who use drugs maintain about the nature of illicit drug market and how to navigate the illicit drug supply has long been discounted as untrustworthy, irrational, or otherwise invalid.

Providers in all 351 municipalities received a screening survey. Those with programs received a second, detailed survey. We analyzed responses using descriptive statistics.As of July 2019, 44 % (156/351) of Massachusetts municipalities reported post-overdose outreach programs, with 75 % (104/138) formed between 2016-2019. Teams conducted home-based outreach 1-3 days following overdose events. Police departments typically supplied location information on overdose events (99 %, 136/138) and commonly participated in outreach visits (86 %, 118/138) alongside public health personnel, usually from community-based organizations. Teams provided or made referrals to services including inpatient addiction treatment, recovery support, outpatient medication, overdose prevention education, and naloxone. Some programs deployed law enforcement tools, including pre-visit warrant queries (57 %, 79/138), which occasionally led to arrest (11 %, 9/79).

Describing insights gained from two unrelated but overlapping studies carried out in Haywood County, we identify several plausible mechanisms through which DIH laws may negatively impact public health. Among these are disruptions to the local drug market and deterrence from calling 911 when witnessing an overdose.

Proponents of punitive civil policies argue that such policies will deter substance use behaviors and/or that substance use during pregnancy deserves punishment for harming the fetus. Current scientific evidence invalidates both claims, offering compelling evidence that punitive civil policies often worsen the harms of substance use for both parent and child. In this commentary, we review this evidence and explain how punitive policies that threaten child removal and the termination of parental rights exacerbate the very problems they are ostensibly designed to reduce. Rather than coercive and punitive responses, families affected by substance use need greater access to affordable, evidence-based treatment as well as services that address the structural and relational concerns underlying substance use.

However, patients continue to be stigmatized for both HIV and substance use. This study aimed to assess whether co‐located care for HIV‐positive PWID receiving opioid agonist treatment (OAT) services in Ukraine is associated with less stigma and better perceived quality of HIV services. Methods This cross‐sectional study enrolled 191 HIV‐positive PWID who received OAT services at three healthcare facilities providing substance use treatment (OAT only) and at four facilities that provided co‐located care (both OAT and HIV treatment) in six regions in Ukraine during July‐September, 2017. Primary outcomes were HIV stigma (Berger scale), substance use stigma (Substance Abuse Stigma Scale) and intersectional stigma (both stigma forms above 75th percentile). Secondary outcome was quality of HIV care, a composite score based on a package of received services. Linear and ordinal regressions were used to assess the predictors of selected outcomes. Results Study participants were 75% male, mean age 40 ± 7 years; 47% received co‐located care, and 10.5% had both high HIV and substance use stigma. Co‐located care was neither associated with HIV nor substance use stigma but it was linked to better quality of HIV care (adjusted odds ratio: 4.13; 95% CI: 2.31, 7.54). HIV stigma was associated with suicide attempts (adjusted beta (aβ): 5.90; 95% CI: 2.05, 9.75), and substance use stigma was linked to poor mental health (aβ: −0.26; 95% CI: −0.44, −0.08) and lower likelihood of receipt of services from non‐governmental organization (NGO; aβ: −6.40; 95% CI: −10.23, −2.57). Conclusion One in ten people with HIV in this cohort who received OAT services experienced high levels of both HIV and substance use stigma, which was associated with poorer mental health and less NGO support. Co‐located HIV and OAT services were linked to better perceived quality of HIV care, but did not seem to reduce stigma for this key population.

However, there is little research examining how changes in drug potency are affecting urban, racial minority individuals who have been affected by both the “old” epidemic of the 1940s through 1980s, as well as the “new” present day epidemic. A focus on the drug using experiences of racial minorities is needed to avoid perpetuating discriminatory responses to drug use in communities of color, which have characterized past U.S. policies. This qualitative study was conducted from March through June 2018 to examine recent experiences of urban, individuals of color who inject drugs to assess the impact of the current overdose epidemic on this understudied population. Interviews were conducted with 25 people who reported current injection drug use. The interviews were transcribed and analyzed using a general inductive approach to identify major themes. Fifteen of 25 participants reported experiencing a non-fatal overdose in the past two years; eight suspected their overdose was fentanyl-related. Likewise, 15 had ever witnessed someone else overdose at least once. Overdoses that required multiple doses of naloxone were also reported. Participants employed several methods to attempt to detect the presence of fentanyl in their drugs, with varying degrees of success. Carrying naloxone and utilizing trusted drug sellers (often those who also use) were strategies used to minimize risk of overdose. Contaminated heroin and increased risk for overdose was often encountered when trusted sources were unavailable. This population is suffering from high rates of recent overdose. Removal of trusted drug sources from a community may inadvertently increase overdose risk. Ensuring access to harm reduction resources (naloxone, drug testing strips) will remain important for addressing ever-increasing rates of overdose among all populations affected.}, journal={International Journal of Drug Policy}, publisher={Elsevier BV}, author={Rhodes, Blythe and Costenbader, Betsy and Wilson, Loftin and Hershow, Rebecca and Carroll, Jennifer and Zule, William and Golin, Carol and Brinkley-Rubinstein, Lauren}, year={2019}, month={Nov}, pages={1–6} } @inproceedings{carroll_mullins_pierce_martinez_2019, title={‘If you’re Black and Using Drugs Then People Don’t Want to Help You’: Substance Use, Harm Reduction, and Default Whiteness on a College Campus}, author={Carroll, J. and Mullins, C. and Pierce, H. and Martinez, M.}, year={2019}, month={Nov} } @inproceedings{carroll_2018, title={A Comprehensive Assessment of 911 Good Samaritan Laws: Attitudes, Implementation, and Effect}, author={Carroll, J.}, year={2018}, month={Oct} } @inproceedings{carroll_2018, title={A Comprehensive Assessment of 911 Good Samaritan Laws: Attitudes, Implementation, and Effect}, author={Carroll, J.}, year={2018}, month={Apr} } @inproceedings{carroll_2018, title={Anthropological Interventions in the Opioid Crisis}, author={Carroll, J.}, year={2018} } @inproceedings{carroll_2018, title={Decolonizing Queer Performance, Practice, Experience: Examples from Post-Socialism}, author={Carroll, J.}, year={2018}, month={Nov} } @book{carroll_green_noonan_2018, title={Evidence-Based Strategies for Preventing Opioid Overdose: What’s Working in the United States}, url={http://www.cdc.gov/drugoverdose/pdf/pubs/2018-evidence-based-strategies.pdf}, institution={National Center for Injury Prevention and Control, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services}, author={Carroll, Jennifer J. and Green, Traci C. and Noonan, Rita K.}, year={2018} } @inproceedings{carroll_2018, title={Fentanyl and Feelings: A Bio-cultural Understanding of Synthetic Opioids in the Illicit Drug Market}, author={Carroll, J.}, year={2018}, month={Nov} } @article{carroll_colasanti_lira_del rio_samet_2018, title={HIV Physicians and Chronic Opioid Therapy: It’s Time to Raise the Bar}, volume={23}, ISSN={1090-7165 1573-3254}, url={http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/s10461-018-2356-2}, DOI={10.1007/s10461-018-2356-2}, abstractNote={Clinical practice that utilizes chronic opioid therapy has been recognized as one major cause of the opioid crisis. Among patients living with HIV, the risks associated with chronic opioid therapy may be complicated by factors such as co-occurring mental health diagnoses, substance use, and economic marginalization. Improving opioid prescribing practices in HIV clinics requires attention to these and other characteristics common to HIV care. In the context of a randomized controlled trial testing an intervention to improve opioid prescribing practices in HIV outpatient clinics, we interviewed physicians about their perspectives on chronic opioid therapy. Overwhelmingly, physicians voiced ambivalence about their own knowledge and comfort with prescription opioids. They raised concerns about the impact of opioid prescribing on patient-provider relationships and the increasing workload associated with prescribing and monitoring patients. In this report, we explore these concerns and propose several strategies for improving clinical care in which chronic opioid therapy is addressed.}, number={4}, journal={AIDS and Behavior}, publisher={Springer Science and Business Media LLC}, author={Carroll, Jennifer J. and Colasanti, Jonathan and Lira, Marlene C. and del Rio, Carlos and Samet, Jeffrey H.}, year={2018}, month={Dec}, pages={1057–1061} } @inproceedings{stone_carroll_green_rich_2018, title={Methadone Maintenance Treatment for Fentanyl Use: Dose, Retention in Treatment, and Relapse}, author={Stone, Andrew C. and Carroll, Jennifer J. and Green, Traci C. and Rich, Jody R.}, year={2018}, month={Apr} } @article{stone_carroll_rich_green_2018, title={Methadone maintenance treatment among patients exposed to illicit fentanyl in Rhode Island: Safety, dose, retention, and relapse at 6 months}, volume={192}, ISSN={0376-8716}, url={http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.drugalcdep.2018.07.019}, DOI={10.1016/j.drugalcdep.2018.07.019}, abstractNote={Illicitly manufactured fentanyl (IMF) is a potent synthetic opioid that has been contributing to overdose deaths in the United States.

We conducted a retrospective chart review of patients admitted to a single MMTP between November 1st, 2016 and August 31st, 2017 followed for six months. Outcomes measured included: 1) retention in treatment at 6 months; 2) evidence of sustained abstinence; 3) relapse; 4) methadone dosage required to achieve sustained abstinence; and 5) the number of days required to achieve abstinence. We observed 154 unique intake events (representing 147 patients). 80% (n = 123) tested positive for fentanyl at intake. During the six-month follow up period, 32% (n = 49) left treatment before six months, two individuals died within five weeks of discontinuation. No deaths were seen among those remaining in treatment. The majority (89%) who remained in treatment at six months achieved abstinence. No significant difference was seen for dose or time to achieve abstinence. Relapse was common (57%). Repeated exposure to fentanyl was seen frequently (71%) while in MMT before and after achieving abstinence. While there is concern that the potency of IMF may reduce the effectiveness of MAT, this study suggests that MMT is safe, abstinence achievable, and MMT is protective against death among fentanyl-exposed patients.}, journal={Drug and Alcohol Dependence}, publisher={Elsevier BV}, author={Stone, Andrew C. and Carroll, Jennifer J. and Rich, Josiah D. and Green, Traci C.}, year={2018}, month={Nov}, pages={94–97} } @misc{carroll_2018, title={Narkomania: What drug users can teach us about society, politics, and going to war with Russia}, author={Carroll, J.}, year={2018}, month={Apr} } @misc{carroll_2018, title={Putin’s war Against Ukraine: revolution, nationalism, and crime}, volume={34}, ISSN={2159-9165 2159-9173}, url={http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/21599165.2018.1532890}, DOI={10.1080/21599165.2018.1532890}, abstractNote={"Putin’s war Against Ukraine: revolution, nationalism, and crime."

In Rhode Island, the prevalence of opioid use and, more recently, of fentanyl in the illicit drug supply is driving overdose fatalities, which increases the need for treatment and raises questions about the changing role of diverted medication in shaping overdose risk.This study considered data from 2 Rhode Island based studies (conducted in 2009 and 2016, respectively) of people who use illicit or diverted prescription opioids and their patterns of buprenorphine/naloxone diversion. Using targeted sampling, individuals who use opioids completed a brief questionnaire about their drug use. For the 2016 study, logistic regression was used to identify associations with recent and lifetime use of diverted medication.A total of 128 individuals who use opioids non-medically participated in the 2016 study. Of these, 38% (n = 13) reported diverted buprenorphine/naloxone use in the past 2 months, similar to the pattern observed in 2009 (41%, n = 41). Common motivations for using diverted medication included the management of withdrawal symptoms (40%, n = 35) and self-treatment of opioid use disorder (39%, n = 34). Few reported using to "get high" (12%, n = 4). Seeking buprenorphine/naloxone treatment in the previous 12 months was positively associated with using diverted medication in the past 2 months (odds ratio = 5.14, 95% confidence interval = 1.0-26.5, P = 0.05). Participants of both studies reported the same barriers to care in 2009 and 2016.The use of diverted/buprenorphine remains common among people who use opioids non-medically and indicates a severe shortage in treatment capacity and inaccessibility of existing services.}, number={6}, journal={Journal of Addiction Medicine}, publisher={Ovid Technologies (Wolters Kluwer Health)}, author={Carroll, Jennifer J. and Rich, Josiah D. and Green, Traci C.}, year={2018}, month={Nov}, pages={459–465} } @article{dethier_rybak_hirway_bachmaha_carroll_sorokolit_flanigan_sluzhynska_2018, title={The changing face of women living with HIV in western Ukraine}, volume={29}, ISSN={0956-4624 1758-1052}, url={http://dx.doi.org/10.1177/0956462417724708}, DOI={10.1177/0956462417724708}, abstractNote={Ukraine has the second largest HIV epidemic in Eastern Europe/Central Asia.

This study describes patterns and perceptions of fentanyl exposure among opioid users in Rhode Island. A mixed methods study was conducted via questionnaire with a convenience sample of 149 individuals using illicit opioids or misusing prescription opioids in Rhode Island between January and November 2016. Of these, 121 knew of fentanyl and reported known or suspected exposure to fentanyl in the past year. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with the first 47 participants. Study participants were predominantly male (64%) and white (61%). Demographic variables were similar across sample strata. Heroin was the most frequently reported drug of choice (72%). Self-reported exposure to illicit fentanyl in the past year was common (50.4%, n = 61). In multivariate models, regular (at least weekly) heroin use was independently associated with known or suspected fentanyl exposure in the past year (adjusted prevalence ratio (APR) = 4.07, 95% CI: 1.24–13.3, p = 0.020). In interviews, users described fentanyl as unpleasant, potentially deadly, and to be avoided. Participants reporting fentanyl exposure routinely experienced or encountered non-fatal overdose. Heroin users reported limited ability to identify fentanyl in their drugs. Harm reduction strategies used to protect themselves from fentanyl exposure and overdose, included test hits, seeking prescription opioids in lieu of heroin, and seeking treatment with combination buprenorphine/naloxone. Participants were often unsuccessful in accessing structured treatment programs. Among illicit opioid users in Rhode Island, known or suspected fentanyl exposure is common, yet demand for fentanyl is low. Fentanyl-contaminated drugs are generating user interest in effective risk mitigation strategies, including treatment.

The introduction of methadone-based opiate substitution therapy (OST) for opiate addicts is especially representative of this. Biomedical paradigms of addiction, its etiology, and its treatment, promoted and paid for by international donors and elite global health entities, are being met by Ukrainian notions of personhood and psychology in both public discourse and clinical settings. Ukrainian physicians who work in OST programs frequently reference desire (желание) as the most significant factor in determining the success or failure of treatment. They refer to a desire to be treated, desire to get better, desire to live. The moralized imperative to possess this desire to get better is, in many ways, a reflection of how addiction and the addicted psyche is constructed and understood in the Ukrainian context.

Over the past decade, significant strides have been made to successfully decrease the rate of HIV transmission. This analysis of HIV testing and entry into care in Western Ukraine provides data in an understudied region of Ukraine. Methods and findings: We analyzed records of HIV testing by category performed within the Lviv Oblast between 2005 and 2013. We also analyzed aggregate registration data from the Lviv Regional AIDS Center. The three highest HIV risk testing categories and their relative percent positive were 1) sexual contact with known HIV partner (20.5%) 2) current or past intravenous drug use (IDU) (13.5%) and 3) history of incarceration (11.5%). The rates of positive tests for IDU and incarcerated patients decreased over this time period. Evaluation of registration into care demonstrated that between 2005-2008, 36.6 % of positive tests resulted in registration into care compared to 54.5% between 2009- 2013. Conclusions: New HIV diagnoses have shifted from within predominantly IDU and incarcerated populations to more broad based screening categories consistent with the known shift to a generalized HIV epidemic. The overall rate of registration into care remains low. More efforts are needed to target HIV positive patients to engage them to register for care.}, number={8}, journal={Journal of AIDS and Clinical Research}, author={Rybak, Natasha and Carroll, Jennifer J. and Bachmaha, Mariya and Garcia, Allyson and Vasylev, Marta and Flanigan, Timothy and Sluzhynska, Maryna}, year={2015}, pages={494} } @inproceedings{carroll_2015, place={Denver, CO}, title={Medical Moralities in the Quotidian Clinic: How Breaking the Rules Creates Success for Long-Term Drug Users in Ukraine.}, author={Carroll, Jennifer}, year={2015}, month={Nov} } @misc{carroll_2015, place={Riga, Latvia).
