Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS), 2003 (ICPSR 34085)
Released/updated on: 2013-08-05
Geographic coverage: Oregon, Vermont, Puerto Rico, Indiana, United States, Oklahoma, Maine, Utah, Nebraska, West Virginia, Massachusetts, North Dakota, Wisconsin, Arizona, Nevada, District of Columbia, Rhode Island, Montana, Hawaii, Kansas, New York (state), New Jersey, Michigan, Iowa, New Mexico, Illinois, Texas, Connecticut, New Hampshire, Louisiana, Ohio, Georgia, Virginia, Maryland
Time period: 2003-01-01--2003-12-31
The Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) is a state-based system of health surveys that collects information on health risk behaviors, preventive health practices, and health care access primarily related to chronic disease and injury. For many states, the BRFSS is the only available source of timely, accurate data on health-related behaviors. BRFSS was established in 1984 by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC); currently data are collected monthly in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, the United States Virgin Islands, and Guam. More than 350,000 adults are interviewed each year, making the BRFSS the largest telephone health survey in the world. States use BRFSS data to identify emerging health problems, establish and track health objectives, and develop and evaluate public health policies and programs. The BRFSS is a cross-sectional telephone survey conducted by state health departments with technical and methodologic assistance provided by CDC. States conduct monthly telephone surveillance using a standardized questionnaire to determine the distribution of risk behaviors and health practices among adults. Responses are forwarded to CDC, where the monthly data are aggregated for each state, returned with standard tabulations, and published at the year's end by each state. The BRFSS questionnaire was developed jointly by CDC's Behavioral Surveillance Branch (BSB) and the states. When combined with mortality and morbidity statistics, these data enable public health officials to establish policies and priorities and to initiate and assess health promotion strategies.

Chicago Male Drug Use and Health Survey (MSM Supplement), 2002-2003 (ICPSR 34303)
Released/updated on: 2012-08-01
Geographic coverage: United States, Chicago, Illinois
Time period: 2002-09-01--2003-01-31
In recent years, club drugs such as MDMA, Ketamine, GHB, and Rohypnol have emerged as major drugs of abuse. The national and local Chicago news media have publicized law enforcement actions and adverse health outcomes, including fatalities, related to the abuse of these substances. Media accounts and a limited body of research have identified use of these substances as prevalent in the gay male community. This prevalence coincides with recent increases in HIV seropositive incidence. There is a clear need for a more comprehensive understanding of the prevalence of club drug use in the general population, and particularly in the subgroup of sexually active gay men. Noting these research gaps and their considerable adverse public health implications, this supplemental study was designed to apply an expanded protocol developed from an earlier study conducted (Feasibility and Use of Biological Measurement in Drug Surveys; R01DA12425, SRL Study #860) to a sample of gay men in the city of Chicago (Michael Fendrich, Principal Investigator). This study evaluated whether findings regarding the feasibility and use of drug testing in drug surveys derived from general population samples are generalizable to a probability sample of 216 gay men in the city of Chicago. For this project, a supplemental module was added to the main study survey that asked detailed questions about involvement in the gay community, risky sexual activity and HIV seropositivity. The scope of biological measurement was also expanded to incorporate testing for Rohypnol and Ketamine in hair (MDMA was already being tested as part of the general sample hair screen). The dataset contains 676 variables.

Cooperative Agreement for AIDS Community-Based Outreach/Intervention Research Program, 1992-1998: [United States] (ICPSR 3023)
Released/updated on: 2008-10-23
Geographic coverage: United States
Time period: 1992-01-01--1998-12-31
The purpose of the Cooperative Agreement (CA) Research Program was to monitor risk factors, risk behaviors, and rates of HIV seroprevalence and seroincidence among out-of-treatment, multi-ethnic/racial injection drug users and crack cocaine users. The program evaluated the efficacy of experimental interventions designed to prevent, eliminate, or reduce HIV risk behaviors and developed new treatment interventions. All participants received the standard intervention, which consisted of street-based outreach and HIV prevention counseling. Those assigned to enhanced interventions received more counseling sessions, educational videos, social gatherings, and support group activities. The public-use data file contains 31,088 respondent records, collected from 21 CA program facilities in the United States and one facility each in Puerto Rico and Brazil. Hence, the process data file contains 23 records of facility information that can be linked to individual respondents. Respondent interviews include a baseline Risk Behavior Assessment (completed prior to first intervention) and a Follow-Up Assessment, conducted either three months or six months after the baseline survey. Respondent data were augmented with eligibility information, biological markers of drug use, HIV test results, and intervention assignment. At baseline and post-intervention, the surveys measured drug use and drug treatment, sexual activity and sex for money/drugs, arrests, work/income, HIV/STD/pregnancy status, perceptions of risk, and risk reduction behaviors. The process questionnaires were completed by staff or principal investigators at the 23 site locations. Process data describe the program structure and process, other intervention projects in the community, needle exchange programs and pharmacy syringe sales, and local HIV infection rates. Drugs reported on include alcohol, marijuana/hashish, crack/cocaine, heroin (including speedball), non-prescription methadone, other opiates, and amphetamines.

Mindful Body Awareness Training for Medication for Opioid Use Disorder (MOUD), Pacific Northwest, 2019-2024 (ICPSR 39235)
Released/updated on: 2025-06-19
Geographic coverage: United States
Time period: 2019-08-01--2024-01-31
The national opioid epidemic requires development of real-world evidence-based treatments for opioid use disorder, including adjuncts to Medication for Opioid Use Disorder (MOUD). Interventions are needed that address the complex needs of patients with opioid use disorder, which include substantial mental health co-morbidity and high rates of chronic pain. This study tested a mind-body intervention, Mindful Awareness in Body-oriented Therapy (MABT), as an adjunct to MOUD across multiple community outpatient clinical settings. MABT, a mindfulness-based intervention, addresses aspects of awareness, interoception, and regulation that may be associated with pain, mental health distress, and behavioral control that increase risk of relapse and poor treatment outcomes.

Released/updated on: 2026-04-22
Geographic coverage: Puerto Rico
Time period: 2013-01-01--2017-12-31
This study evaluates the effectiveness of the Enhanced HIV Care Access and Retention Intervention in achieving HIV virologic suppression among HIV-infected substance users in San Juan, Puerto Rico. The implementation process and cost of the enhanced care approach, including implications for cost effectiveness, feasibility of expansion, and sustainability are also included in the evaluation process. This study consists of two multi-component phases: a pre-trial phase and a trial phase. The pre-trial phase consists of ethnographic and pre-implementation interviews, HIV provider surveys and a survey of employees within a community-based agency that is an integral part of trial implementation. Ethnographic and pre-implementation qualitative interviews were conducted prior to implementation of the trial to inform the development of assessment tools and the intervention, and to inform the selection of the appropriate neighborhoods/areas from which to recruit HIV-infected substance users. Employees of Iniciativa Comunitaria de Investigacion, Inc. (ICI), an existing community-based, non-profit organization that is responsible for conducting HIV testing, recruitment and outreach for the study, were invited to complete a survey to assess organizational readiness for change at ICI. HIV providers in major cities in Puerto Rico will be invited to complete a survey to assess their treatment practices and other issues pertaining to HIV care. The trial phase consists of an Assessment Cohort, a multicomponent Enhanced HIV Care Access and Retention Intervention, and an HIV Care Cohort.

Transmission Reduction Intervention Project (TRIP), Athens, Greece Site, 2013-2015 (ICPSR 39059)
Released/updated on: 2025-09-22
Geographic coverage: Athens, Greece
Time period: 2013-06-01--2015-07-31
Half or more of HIV transmission events may occur within the period of high infectivity (and often high risk behavior) that can last 11 months or more after a person is initially infected. The study sought to develop effective intervention techniques against HIV transmission during the recent infection period using a combination of injection-, sexual- and social-network-based contact tracing methods; community alerts in the networks and venues of recent infectees; and the logic of going "up" and "down" infection chains. The investigators' first aim was to develop and evaluate ways to locate "seeds", defined as drug users and other people who have recently been infected. The investigators' second aim targeted members of seeds' networks and people who attend their venues. The investigators tested them for acute and for recent infection, and alerted them to the probability that their networks contain highly-infectious members so they should reduce their risk and transmission behaviors for the next several months to minimize their chances of getting infected. This may also reduce transmission by untested people with recent infection. Community, network and venue education about the need and value of supporting those with recent infection should reduce stigma. The investigators' third aim was to reduce HIV transmission and to develop new ways to evaluate "prevention for positives" generally as well as the investigators own success in reducing transmission. The investigators did this using a combination of follow-up interviews and testing, including of viral loads; phylogenetic techniques; and discrete event simulation modeling to assess the investigators effectiveness.
