Substance abusers are at higher risk for HIV infection than are non-users. Integrating Rapid HIV testing, referral, and prevention counseling into non-medical settings is a key strategy in HIV prevention, as it is important to identify those recently HIV-infected and link them as early as possible to healthcare and support services. One of the poorest states in the US, Mississippi ranks 14th in the rate of AIDS cases per 100,000 and 8th in rate of HIV infections among teens and young adults. African Americans comprise 72% of the estimated 9,000 Mississippians living with HIV. We report on preliminary results from a study to address the HIV testing and prevention needs of clients in three rural community-based substance abuse treatment centers in the Mississippi Delta. We used a participatory action research (PAR) app...

The purpose of this study was to document the time commitment of EOLDs to dying persons and their loved ones during the dying process, as well as their experiences navigating family dynamics working towards increased acceptance of death. A mixed-methods approach was utilized to gather data on EOLDs, consisting of a quantitative survey with 618 respondents and subsequent qualitative interviews conducted with 39 participants. Results indicated that the amount of time spent with dying persons and their loved ones varies widely and often depends on when the EOLD is contracted regarding services. Factors that impede and lead to great acceptance of death are discussed as well as the role of EOLDs in navigating family dynamics.

Like birth doulas, end-of-life doulas represent a divergent, yet complementary form of care for dying persons. The purpose of end-of-life care is to facilitate comfort of the dying person and their closest family members. Surveys were completed by 618 end-of-life doulas regarding their demographic characteristics, employment backgrounds, services, and their experiences providing end of life care to dying persons and their closest family members. Follow-up qualitative interviews were also conducted with a subset of 39 respondents who completed the original survey. Results show that trained doulas are largely white (91.4%), female (90.4%), hold a Bachelor’s (32.3%) or Masters (32.4%) degree, and are employed outside of their EOLD work (70.1%). Qualitative data details services provided to dying persons and family members in ad...

A total of 482 adolescents completed a diagnostic questionnaire and a subset (N = 317) was assessed with face-to-face semi-structured interview. Most of the study participants met criteria for one mental disorder, 71-85% depending on assessment method, one-third have co-occurring mental health and substance abuse disorders. Gender and placement site differences in rates of some psychiatric disorders were also noted. Routine mental health screening should be performed on all juveniles placed in secure detention facilities to identify those who need treatment services.
