“…To our knowledge, however, no studies analyzed gender differences between men and women in an HIV-infected sample. One more general study found that women were more likely to have a substance use disorder combined with other mental illness compared to men; however, there were no gender differences in the presence of a substance use disorder in the absence of mental illness (Fries, Fedock, & Kubiak, 2014). …”

Substance use complicates HIV care and prevention. Primary care clinics are an ideal setting to screen for and offer interventions for unhealthy alcohol and drug use; however, few HIV clinics routinely screen for substance use. We enrolled 208 clinic patients at an urban underserved HIV primary care clinic. We screened the patients for substance use with the Alcohol, Smoking, and Substance Involvement Score Test (ASSIST) and measured urine toxicology. Of the 168 participants who completed screening, the majority reported tobacco or non-prescribed substance use in the previous 3 months. White men reported significantly more amphetamine-type stimulant use compared to African American and Latino men (p < 0.001). Implementing standard clinic practice for screening and assessing substance use in HIV primary care clinics is needed.

“…Community services coming into the prison to engage with and contribute to pre-release planning can aid successful reintegration (Farkas et al, 2007;Fries, 2014;Luther et al, 2011). This also allows a therapeutic relationship to be established with community service agents prior to release.…”

“…Interventions should combine meeting treatment needs with provision of more practical help with education, employment and housing services that DUWOs will also need to re-integrate effectively (Allen et al, 2010;Colbert et al, 2013;Doherty et al, 2014;Fedock et al, 2013;Fries, 2014;Grella and Greenwell, 2007;Oser et al, 2009;Salem et al, 2013). This approach acknowledges the very real constraints DUWOs face on reentry (Allen et al, 2010) and prioritises the most pressing of their needs (Bergseth et al, 2011).…”

Effective interventions for drug using women offenders: A narrative literature review

A detailed understanding of the effectiveness of interventions designed to meet drug using women offenders' (DUWOs) complex needs is essential to maximise success. This article reports on a narrative literature review of evaluations of interventions designed to assist DUWOs in their recovery from drug use and in their desistance from offending. It aims to identify gaps in that research and point to possible directions for future studies. It shows that successful interventions are likely to be intensive, of significant duration, multi-dimensional and inter-disciplinary. Evaluations must similarly be designed to take into account all individual and structural factors. Qualitative longitudinal research which incorporates DUWOs' opinions on their needs might best inform the development of interventions tailored to meeting those needs. Evaluation design should acknowledge the importance of progress as well as outcomes and be designed to follow DUWOs through their whole sentence rather than focusing on a single intervention/point in time without the context of what came before and what might or should happen in the future.

“…An emerging body of evidence has demonstrated a blend of contributing factors to homelessness not limited to destituteness and unemployment (Burke, Johnson, Bourgault, Borgia, & O'Toole, 2013), mental illness and incarceration experience (Fries, Fedock, & Kubiak, 2014), military war service and posttraumatic stress disorder (Tsai, Rosenheck, Kasprow, & McGuire, 2014), betrayal trauma (Mackelprang et al, 2014), social isolation (Patterson, Currie, Rezansoff, & Somers, 2014), intimate partner violence (Ponce, Lawless, & Rowe, 2014), sexual victimization (Heerde, ScholesBalog, & Hemphill, 2015), drug and alcohol use (McQuistion, Gorroochurn, Hsu, & Caton, 2014) and an HIV diagnosis (Tompsett, Domoff, & Toro, 2013).…”

This ethnographic study draws on the realities, survival strategies, and needs of a group of homeless people living in South Florida. Fifty-six individuals (mean age = 51 years; age range = 21-76 years) of various racial backgrounds responded to a semistructured narrative interview. Two thirds of respondents encountered substance abuse challenges and experienced chronic homelessness, one third worked, and three fifths were arrested at least once. Thematic narrative analyses revealed that substance abuse, unemployment, a low-paying job, and a relationship breakup were the most prevalent causes of homelessness. The greatest difficulties reported concerned sleeping patterns, police harassment and brutality, dehumanization, and hunger. Survival strategies incorporated hiding from police, attending local food drives, soliciting food from local fast food places, and begging. Support came predominantly from the church, family members, and friends. Relief desired embodied broader employment opportunities, closeby food drives and shelters, a designated area to sleep precluding police harassment, better wages, and less discrimination by society. Implications of the findings and future research needs are inspected.
