This book was released on 2001 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to explore the experiences of women recovering from crack cocaine addiction with a secondary purpose to explore how the addiction affected their ability for self-care. The psychophenomenological study examined the recovering African-American woman's ability to meet her requisites utilizing Orem's (1995) Self-care deficit theory of nursing as a framework. Five African-American women, 18 to 45 years of age, addicted to crack cocaine and in recovery six months to two years, were selected as a convenience sample from women enrolled in the aftercare phase of a recovery program. Participation was strictly voluntary and confidentiality was maintained at all times. After obtaining the informed consent from each participant, a self-administered biographical questionnaire was completed, followed by an audio taped interview consisting of three questions. Van Kaam's (1966, 1987) Psychophenomenological Method was used for data analysis.
Book Synopsis Behind the Eight Ball by : Tanya Telfair Sharpe
Download or read book Behind the Eight Ball written by Tanya Telfair Sharpe and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Inner-city black women open their hearts to share the pain of crack addiction and its consequences Behind the Eight Ball: Sex for Crack Cocaine Exchange and Poor Black Women documents an American tragedy that highlights the widening gap between social and economic classes. In their own words, poor black women—nameless, faceless, and marginalized by poverty—share the details of their lives before and after crack cocaine invaded their communities, each recalling the circumstances of her introduction to the drug and her first experience using sex to support her addiction. These candid interviews expose the socioeconomic changes in inner-city neighborhoods that created the perfect conditions for a crack stronghold; the crack cocaine economy's impact on the lives of inner-city residents; and the social and familial consequences of crack addiction among poor, black women. Behind the Eight Ball: Sex for Crack Cocaine Exchange and Poor Black Women places crack addiction, crack-related prostitution and its consequences, STDs, HIV, and pregnancy into the context of the larger social issues of inner-city poverty, race, gender, and class. This unique book reveals the sex-for-crack barter system as evidence of a long-term social exclusion and systemic racism that has worked to destroy the self-image of poor black American women. The women interviewed reflect this negative image, exchanging sex for crack on a regular basis to support their addictions at the risk-and reality-of unplanned pregnancies. “The baby I am carrying now, I don’t know who the father is. There are a few (men) that I had sex with around the time I got pregnant—that day. But which one it is, I don’t know who.” Behind the Eight Ball: Sex for Crack Cocaine Exchange and Poor Black Women examines: why poor black women addicted to crack are disproportionately at risk for sexually transmitted diseases, including HIV, and unplanned pregnancies how the social and economic characteristics of poor black communities support crack distribution and consumption how crack use and the exchange of sex for crack damages struggling black families why the care of many children is entrusted to child welfare agencies how and why women are marginalized in the crack culture Behind the Eight Ball: Sex for Crack Cocaine Exchange and Poor Black Women is an insightful and enlightening look at the motivations behind the decision to risk illness, injury, disease, death, and pregnancy to support addiction.

This book was released on 2014 with total page 69 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: This qualitative study explored substance abuse providers' attitudes, perceptions and beliefs about the impact of crack cocaine in the African American community. Fifteen participants were surveyed utilizing a semi-structured interview guide about (a) their experiences working with African American clients; (b) biases, stereotypes and stigmas that have impacted African Americans in relation to the use of crack cocaine; and (c) attitudes, perceptions and beliefs about the media's role in the racialization of imagery and its impact on the African American community. Participants reported multiple significant indicators regarding a client's success in treatment as well as the competence of providers who work with African American clients. Furthermore, participants indicated that a thorough knowledge base of the historical experience of African Americans and its implication for the use of crack cocaine is necessary. Mental health professionals need to have a better understanding of the historical impact of crack cocaine on African American individuals, families and the community as a whole.

Download or read book Doin’ Drugs written by William H. James and published by University of Texas Press. This book was released on 2010-01-01 with total page 189 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Throughout the African American community, individuals and organizations ranging from churches to schools to drug treatment centers are fighting the widespread use of crack cocaine. To put that fight in a larger cultural context, Doin' Drugs explores historical patterns of alcohol and drug use from pre-slavery Africa to present-day urban America. William Henry James and Stephen Lloyd Johnson document the role of alcohol and other drugs in traditional African cultures, among African slaves before the American Civil War, and in contemporary African American society, which has experienced the epidemics of marijuana, heroin, crack cocaine, and gangs since the beginning of this century. The authors zero in on the interplay of addiction and race to uncover the social and psychological factors that underlie addiction. James and Johnson also highlight many culturally informed programs, particularly those sponsored by African American churches, that are successfully breaking the patterns of addiction. The authors hope that the information in this book will be used to train a new generation of counselors, ministers, social workers, nurses, and physicians to be better prepared to face the epidemic of drug addiction in African American communities.

Book Synopsis The Emergence of Crack Cocaine Abuse by : Edith Fairman Cooper
Download or read book The Emergence of Crack Cocaine Abuse written by Edith Fairman Cooper and published by Nova Publishers. This book was released on 2002 with total page 122 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cocaine was once considered the elite's drug, with a price so high that only the very wealthy could afford it, and thought by many to be 'safe'. But during the 1980s, a dangerous and cheap derivative began appearing on the street. This drug, crack, is a cocaine free-base produced relatively safely and easily. Because of its low production costs, crack became popular among the lower classes, leading to an epidemic in the late 1980s, with estimates that over one million people used crack cocaine. The drug's name became synonymous with gangs, crime, and violence. Because of the intensity and apparent suddenness of the crack crisis, people began to wonder if there were any warning signs public officials missed and how exactly crack spread across the nation. Some even floated the theory that agencies like the CIA and FBI encouraged the use of crack in inner cities. No matter where it came from, crack is a menace that, though no longer 'epidemic', must be combated along with all other illegal drugs. This book makes a close examination of the development, responses to, and effect of the crack cocaine crisis in the United States. Included are descriptions of cocaine, crack, and the free-basing process. Also examined are the health questions surrounding the abuse problems and the allegations that governmental authorities had advance knowledge of crack. With the war on drugs a perpetual and critical battle in America, the facts and analyses presented here are of paramount importance to the understanding of a major issue of society's safety.
