Examining the synergistic effects of
cannabis and prescription opioid policies on chronic pain,
opioid prescribing, and opioid overdose
We need to examine the independent and synergistic contributions
that both types of measures have on opioid prescribing practices
and opioid overdoses. We propose to pursue this aim in two
populations: (1) in the U.S. population, using repeated
cross-sectional data of individuals nested in states from the
National Survey on Drug Use and Health; and (2) among Medicaid
patients with chronic pain (a relevant subpopulation given their 10
times increased risk of opioid use disorder relative to privately
insured patients), using a 45-state Medicaid Analytic Extract
longitudinal cohort to examine within-patient changes in opioid
prescriptions, clinic visits for chronic pain, and opioid
overdoses.

Examining the synergistic effects of
cannabis and prescription opioid policies on chronic pain,
opioid prescribing, and opioid overdose
Building on the parent grant, the Administrative Supplement aims
to:
1) Develop a validated taxonomy of opioid policies that will
allow researchers to measure variation in key aspects of each
policy as well as the overall, cross-policy, restriction of the PO
supply and expansion of access to treatment for opioid use
disorder. 2) Identify the opioid policy provisions that are the
strongest predictors of changes in opioid prescribing and opioid
misuse (with/without BZDs).

Impact of Medical and Recreational Marijuana Laws on Cannabis,
Opioids, and Psychiatric Medications of VA Patients, 2000-2024
The goal of this application is to continue to examine the
effects of medical marijuana laws (MML) and recreational marijuana
laws (RML) on adult use of cannabis, opioids and related outcomes.
The application is being submitted to NIDA with Research Foundation
for Mental Hygiene (RFMH) serving as the prime awardee. The study
will involve analyses of VA data to determine the relationship
between the state MML, RML and use of cannabis, opioids and other
substances, substance use disorders involving these substances,
prescription opioids, psychiatric treatment and other variables
potentially affected by these laws.

As adolescent substance abuse declines, internalizing symptoms
increase: identifying high-risk substance using groups and the role
of social media, parental supervision, and unsupervised time
Internalizing symptoms among adolescents are increasing at an
historically unprecedented pace, and are no longer associated with
alcohol use, requiring identification of risk factors that may be
utilized to identify subgroups that continue to be at risk for
prevention and intervention scale-up. Curiously, the prevalence of
most alcohol and other drug use, risk factors for adolescent
internalizing symptoms, are simultaneously declining in an
historically unprecedented way. The present project uses Monitoring
the Future data to examine time trends in the relationship between
internalizing symptoms (self-esteem, self-derogation, depressive
affect, loneliness), alcohol and other drug use, and across
subgroups at high risk, using an innovative approach to examine
social media use and other potential drivers of adolescent trends
in internalizing symptoms and alcohol and other drug use to inform
prevention efforts.

CHASE: An Innovative County-Level Public Health Response to the
Opioid Epidemic in New York State
New York State (NYS) ranks second in the nation in
absolute numbers of opioid overdose deaths. From 2015-2016, opioid
overdose deaths in NYS increased by 32%, including an 88% increase
in synthetic opioid-related deaths. The proposed research will
develop and test a County-system Hub and Spoke Empowerment model
(“CHASE”) to reduce incidence of fatal overdoses in 15
geographically and racially diverse counties in NYS that averaged
28.2 deaths per 100,000 in 2017.

MEDICAL MARIJUANA PROGRAM PARTICIPATION AND CHANGES IN
CONTROLLED SUBSTANCE USE
We propose to partner with the largest medical marijuana
provider in New York (> 10,000 participants enrolled as of
October 2017). Participant activity is tracked through an
electronic health record with de-identified patient characteristics
at baseline (demographics, qualifying condition and symptoms,
concomitant medications) that is linked to data containing 12-month
controlled substance prescription history through the state’s
prescription drug monitoring program (PDMP). The analysis of these
de-identified, compiled records is a highly innovative and
cost-effective method for better understanding the potential
mechanisms of how participation in medical marijuana programs
influences controlled substance use and overdose risk among
patients with pain conditions receiving opioids and
sedative-hypnotics and can inform subsequent prospective study
designs.

The goal of this proposal is to investigate the early-life
origins of adolescent risk behavior in a disadvantaged population
in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa. The study will document cognitive
and contextual predictors of drug use and unprotected sex, and
investigate the impact of early life adversity and adolescent
cognitive development on adoption of these behaviors in the Asenze

NIH/NIDA Multi-level associations between medical marijuana laws
and substance use disorder treatment
In this project, we will use data from the 2004-2014 National
Survey on Drug Use and Health (NSDUH) restricted data files to
understand relationships between Medical Marijuana Laws (MML) and
perceptions of treatment need and use by racial/ethnic groups.
Second, we will assess relationships between MMLs and referral
sources treatment utilization trends using data from the Treatment
Episodes Data Set (TEDS), to determine whether criminal justice
referral patterns are differentially changing by MML. Third, we
will use data from a cohort of Medicare/Medicaid beneficiaries to
determine the effect of MML on service use and costs over time by
racial/ethnic group.

Improving the treatment cascade of MAT initiation and retention
for opioid use disorder
The nation faces an epidemic of opioid overdose deaths as a
downstream consequence of undertreated opioid use disorder among
2.4 million individuals. Dr. Williams will link clinical data from
electronic health records from a large, multi-site buprenorphine
provider to insurance claims data to assess factors that promote
continuity of care along the opioid use disorder treatment cascade.
We hope to empirically evaluate each cascade stage for potential
clinical benefits of medication-assisted treatment as long-term

This study will use detailed information from the National
Survey on Drug Use and Health restricted-use files to identify the
possible effects of state-level variation in specific aspects of
MML on the prevalence of MU and marijuana disorders, whether MML is
followed by change in individual risk for other substance use, and
if MML moderates racial/ethnic and age-related differences in the
individual risk for consequences related to MU. This will be the
first study to examine the direct effects of MML on marijuana
acquisition patterns and prices. This study will address questions
of major public health significance, adding important knowledge
about fast changing marijuana laws and their effects on marijuana
use among adults and adolescents, contributing to general knowledge
about the relationship of legislation to substance use.
