The qualitative research method was interpretive phenomenology. The sample of this study consisted of 10 women who had been cleared of addiction and had a history of suicide attempts. They were selected through targeted and available sampling from a counseling center in Tehran. After conducting in-depth interviews and analyzing the data, the main themes identified in the research was traumatic behaviors experienced, including suicide. The main concepts that emerged were despair, shame, social stigma, traumatic life context, negative early life experiences, experiences of divorce, primary and secondary detachment, ineffective coping strategies, inability to solve problems, socioeconomic difficulties, and feelings of meaninglessness. sub themes also included gender discrimination within the family and society, blame and humiliation, the addiction of a second spouse, and fear of marriage. Based on the research findings, it can be concluded that women who have left addiction face many challenges, including psychological and social problems. They tend to blame themselves, viewing themselves as the root cause of personal and social issues. Furthermore, under societal pressure (due to the stigma and shame associated with addiction), they often compare themselves unfavorably with others. Consequently, due to their inability to achieve an acceptable and standard life or cope with childhood experiences, these women experience depression and helplessness, which ultimately drives some to consider suicide as a way to alleviate or escape this stigma.","PeriodicalId":15812,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Ethnicity in Substance Abuse","volume":" ","pages":"1-16"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2025-02-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143433283","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The association may be further compounded by cultural isolation and the dual task of identity negotiation. The current study explored cultural isolation as a mediator of the association between racial discrimination and substance use among IYPOC. A cross-sectional online survey was conducted to collect data from IYPOC residing in the United States. The analytic sample was composed of 262 individuals aged 18 to 29, and the largest racial group was Black or African American. The current study performed regressions and PROCESS Macro Model 4 with bootstrapping. Racial discrimination and cultural isolation were statistically significantly associated with substance use. The indirect effect of racial discrimination on substance use through cultural isolation was statistically significant. The results underscore the need for tailored support and interventions that address the complex interplay of racial discrimination, cultural isolation, and health outcomes among IYPOC.","PeriodicalId":15812,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Ethnicity in Substance Abuse","volume":" ","pages":"1-21"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2025-02-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143425544","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Methadone-assisted treatment (MAT) is a widely used harm-reduction strategy for opioid addiction. However, methadone can cause cognitive impairment, which can impede treatment.Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted between July 1st and July 31, 2023. A total of 114 participants, comprising 76 MAT patients and 38 healthy subjects (controls), were recruited. Sociodemographic questionnaire, DSM-5 and neuropsychiatric cognitive (NUCOG) assessments were used. A general linear model was used to examine cognitive function between the MMT and control groups while controlling for all possible confounders.Results: The MAT group performed significantly lower on the NUCOG total score (p < .001) and visuoconstructional (p < .001), memory (p < .001), executive (p = .016), and language (p < .001) scores than the control group. No significant differences were found between the groups in terms of the attention score (p = .457). Adjusted confounders included age, education level, income, and marital status.Conclusions: Patients on MAT demonstrated cognitive impairment, particularly in the visuoconstructional, memory, executive, and language domains, compared to the control group. However, there are confounding factors that needs to be addressed in order to come with better treatment and intervention strategies.","PeriodicalId":15812,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Ethnicity in Substance Abuse","volume":" ","pages":"1-15"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2025-02-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143425543","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Multiple linear regression analysis was utilized to analyze the research data.Results: The mean stigmatization score of the participants was 93.56 ± 21.74. The findings showed that living in a nuclear family, working in the labor or private sector, not using alcohol, and the presence of individuals with substance use disorder in the social environment were associated with the stigma score by 4% (p < .05).Conclusions: It was found that participants were highly stigmatized due to substance use disorders. It was found that those living in nuclear families, workers and those working in the private sector, those who do not use alcohol, and those who do not have a substance use disorder in their social environment stigmatize individuals with substance use disorders more. In order to reduce social stigmatization associated with substance use disorders, it is recommended to give importance to education, provide supportive services, promote social acceptance, and implement appropriate policies and legal frameworks.","PeriodicalId":15812,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Ethnicity in Substance Abuse","volume":" ","pages":"1-12"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2025-02-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143365008","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A phenomenological research design, with interpretative phenomenological analysis, was used to gain an in-depth and comprehensive perspective. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with the participants.Result: Two master themes with respective two sub-themes along with 40 codes were identified i.e., personal distress (psychological problems and existential crises) and social and relational issues (social problems and interpersonal turmoil).Conclusion: Shame is the dominant factor that young adults with paternal substance use face. The study highlighted that these young adults face many personal, social, and relational issues that intensify their feelings of shame. This study may assist mental health professionals in developing effective strategies to decrease the feeling of shame in young adults affected by paternal substance use disorder.","PeriodicalId":15812,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Ethnicity in Substance Abuse","volume":" ","pages":"1-13"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2025-01-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143065905","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The study consisted of a final sample of 454 Iranian/Persian American adult participants. The results indicated that Iranian/Persian American attitudes toward prescription drug use are impacted by demographic and cultural factors. Less heritage acculturation was found to be a predictor of attitudes toward the use of recreational and achievement-oriented prescription drug use. Further, perceived discrimination, specifically, perceived stigmatization and threat/aggression as well as less identification with Iranian/Persian heritage culture, were found to predict more positive attitudes toward prescription drug use among Iranian/Persian Americans. Religiosity was not found to be predictive of prescription drug usage. The present study underscores the usefulness of considering the impact of Iranian/Persian American ethnic identity, acculturation, and perceived discrimination in treating substance abuse within this population.

Decreasing smoking among pregnant Indigenous women has been identified as a health priority in New Zealand because of wide inequities in smoking-related harms. Using pre- and post-intervention questionnaires, this feasibility study assessed the acceptability and potential efficacy of a novel cessation program designed for Indigenous women by Indigenous experts utilizing traditional knowledge and practice. COVID-19 lockdowns displaced program delivery to online teaching videos, social media and a smartphone app using augmented reality. The target population comprised adult (≥22 years) women who self-identified as Māori, were in the first or second trimester, and currently smoked and wanted to quit. Based on the response to our advertisements (>500 individuals) and the short period of time (<2 weeks) it took to recruit participants, the program appeared to be acceptable. Furthermore, it achieved high retention (20/24 (83%) women remained at the 16-week follow-up), and facilitated maintenance of high motivation to stop smoking. By the end of the program, 9/20 (45%) of participants reported not smoking. A consistently mentioned value of the program was that it increased the participants' knowledge of Māori culture, particularly about pregnancy, birthing, and post-natal support. This study supports the potential for traditional knowledge and healing methods alongside contemporary communication tools such as mobile apps and augmented reality to increase the attractiveness and reach of smoking cessation programs for pregnant Indigenous women, even if delivered online.","PeriodicalId":15812,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Ethnicity in Substance Abuse","volume":" ","pages":"1-20"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2025-01-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142983731","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
