Thomas Social Research Violence Exposure Mental Disorder Substance Use Disorder SUD Co-occurring Disorders COD HIV While research has established violence exposure, mental disorder and SUD as independently associated with HIV infection, there is a paucity of research studies that examine the impact of violence exposure and co-occurring mental and substance use disorders (COD) with HIV infection. This study’s primary aim was to provide COD prevalence data as well as additional epidemiologic data needed to more firmly establish violence exposure and COD as principally associated with HIV infection. This study’s secondary aim was to provide epidemiologic data which could be used to inform HIV prevention efforts: primary, secondary and tertiary. Participants were clients assessed for alcohol and other drug (AOD) treatment through the 40 adult AOD treatment providers in the network of providers overseen by the Alcohol and Drug Addiction Services Board of Cuyahoga County (Ohio) from December 12, 2001 through July 18, 2007. Study design was a matched comparison of two subgroups of clients stratified by HIV-serostatus: HIV-infected clients and HIV-uninfected clients (N = 638). The prevalence of COD with HIV infection was determined to be 26.3%. Through logistic regression modeling, both violence exposure and COD were found to be significantly associated with HIV infection. As the HIV epidemic in the United States continues to progress, interventions continuously need to be tailored according to prevention needs. 2009 English text Case Western Reserve University School of Graduate Studies / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=case1228442858 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=case1228442858 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
