Book Synopsis Indirect Screening by : Courtney Elizabeth Smith

Book excerpt: OBJECTIVE: Most drug use screening measures rely on and are validated against self-report. Fear of negative consequences often promotes denial of drug use. For pregnant women, social stigma and fear of legal consequences make underreporting of drug use even more likely. An indirect screener that could effectively identify pregnant women at risk for illicit drug use without reliance on disclosure would be clinically significant. The purpose of the current study was to develop and validate an indirect measure of prenatal drug use by comparing correlates of prenatal drug use to urinalysis results. METHOD: Pregnant women attending an OB appointment at the VCUHS Women's Health Clinic were recruited and consented to participate in an anonymous, two-phase study. In Phase 1, women completed a 20-minute computerized assessment which included a true/false index of items known to tap behavioral, medical, psychological, experiential and demographic correlates of drug abuse and dependence. In Phase 2, participants were asked to provide a urine sample for drug testing. Women received a $20 gift card after they participated in each phase. RESULTS: Two hundred and thirty-one women completed both Phase 1 and 2 (94% completion rate). Participants were primarily African-American (66%), single (75%) and receiving public assistance (70%). Urinalysis revealed that 16% of the sample tested positive for recent drug use, while only 5% of women self-reported past month drug use. After examining the univariate and multivariate relationships between each indirect item and drug status (i.e., positive or negative urinalysis), six indirect items were chosen to comprise the Wayne Indirect Drug Use Screener-Pregnancy (WIDUS-P). Cross-validation analyses resulted in a sensitivity of .90, specificity of .75, and AUC of .85. In comparison to direct screening approaches, the WIDUS-P was superior in identifying pregnant women who had used drugs recently. CONCLUSIONS: Findings support the use of an indirect screening tool to identify prenatal drug use, especially over currently-used direct methods. Such a measure could easily be implemented into regular clinic practice and result in more cost-effective and better identification of prenatal drug use.

Book Synopsis Pain Management and the Opioid Epidemic by : National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine
Download or read book Pain Management and the Opioid Epidemic written by National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2017-09-28 with total page 483 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Drug overdose, driven largely by overdose related to the use of opioids, is now the leading cause of unintentional injury death in the United States. The ongoing opioid crisis lies at the intersection of two public health challenges: reducing the burden of suffering from pain and containing the rising toll of the harms that can arise from the use of opioid medications. Chronic pain and opioid use disorder both represent complex human conditions affecting millions of Americans and causing untold disability and loss of function. In the context of the growing opioid problem, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) launched an Opioids Action Plan in early 2016. As part of this plan, the FDA asked the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine to convene a committee to update the state of the science on pain research, care, and education and to identify actions the FDA and others can take to respond to the opioid epidemic, with a particular focus on informing FDA's development of a formal method for incorporating individual and societal considerations into its risk-benefit framework for opioid approval and monitoring.

Book Synopsis addicted.pregnant.poor by : Kelly Ray Knight
Download or read book addicted.pregnant.poor written by Kelly Ray Knight and published by Duke University Press. This book was released on 2015-09-17 with total page 255 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For the addicted, pregnant, and poor women living in daily-rent hotels in San Francisco's Mission district, life is marked by battles against drug cravings, housing debt, and potential violence. In this stunning ethnography Kelly Ray Knight presents these women in all their complex humanity and asks what kinds of futures are possible for them given their seemingly hopeless situation. During her four years of fieldwork Knight documented women’s struggles as they traveled from the street to the clinic, jail, and family court, and back to the hotels. She approaches addicted pregnancy as an everyday phenomenon in these women's lives and describes how they must navigate the tension between pregnancy's demands to stay clean and the pull of addiction and poverty toward drug use and sex work. By creating the space for addicted women's own narratives and examining addicted pregnancy from medical, policy, and social science perspectives, Knight forces us to confront and reconsider the ways we think about addiction, trauma, health, criminality, and responsibility.

Committee on Nutrition of the Mother and Preschool Child and published by . This book was released on 1982 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: Workshop proceedings discuss cultural practices (vegetarian diets, pica) that affect nutrient intake during pregnancy and abuses (alcohol, smoking, caffeine, over-the-counter drugs, megadose nutrients) affecting health and nutritional status of the mother and fetus. The aims of the workshop were: to review and evaluate current research and to develop a report on the effects of certain abuses during pregnancy; to separate the effects of the abused substance from those effects that result from alterations in nutrient utilization; and to recommend interventions that are feasible and effective. Care is taken to make the results useful to personnel responsible for providing maternal and child care information. (kbc).

This book was released on 2014-04-01 with total page 396 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This User’s Guide is intended to support the design, implementation, analysis, interpretation, and quality evaluation of registries created to increase understanding of patient outcomes. For the purposes of this guide, a patient registry is an organized system that uses observational study methods to collect uniform data (clinical and other) to evaluate specified outcomes for a population defined by a particular disease, condition, or exposure, and that serves one or more predetermined scientific, clinical, or policy purposes. A registry database is a file (or files) derived from the registry. Although registries can serve many purposes, this guide focuses on registries created for one or more of the following purposes: to describe the natural history of disease, to determine clinical effectiveness or cost-effectiveness of health care products and services, to measure or monitor safety and harm, and/or to measure quality of care. Registries are classified according to how their populations are defined. For example, product registries include patients who have been exposed to biopharmaceutical products or medical devices. Health services registries consist of patients who have had a common procedure, clinical encounter, or hospitalization. Disease or condition registries are defined by patients having the same diagnosis, such as cystic fibrosis or heart failure. The User’s Guide was created by researchers affiliated with AHRQ’s Effective Health Care Program, particularly those who participated in AHRQ’s DEcIDE (Developing Evidence to Inform Decisions About Effectiveness) program. Chapters were subject to multiple internal and external independent reviews.
