“…The aim of HR is to decrease the harmful consequences of high-risk behaviors without requiring that the individual stop the behavior (Denning, 2000). Numerous clinical trials have demonstrated the effectiveness of HR for alcohol and substance abuse in many settings and with many populations (Logan & Marlatt, 2010). To date, there are no clinical trials into the effectiveness of HR as applied to hoarding behavior.…”

Approximately, 3%-5% of the U.S. population suffers from compulsive hoarding but others suffer as well, in particular, the family members who care about them. This article describes the manifold ways family members suffer because of their loved one's hoarding behavior, including the frustration and hopelessness many family members experience in the face of their loved one's steadfast refusal to accept help for their hoarding problem. The article presents harm reduction as a way for family members to help a loved one who is unwilling to accept treatment of the hoarding problem. The article then presents two clinical examples-a private hoarding situation and a public hoarding situation-to illustrate the application of harm reduction to hoarding.

“…Given the prevalence of marijuana use among young adults, emerging research on long-term harms, the trend in new legalization laws, and perceptions about the low risks resulting from use, it is of growing importance to provide more focused attention on reducing unwanted consequences of using marijuana rather than focusing exclusively on prevention of use in any form (i.e., abstinence). Substance use disorder researchers have discussed harm-reduction principles for addressing substance use behaviors in both recreational users and in heavy/chronic users (Marlatt et al, 2011), with these principles informing many efficacious prevention and treatment strategies for addressing young adult alcohol misuse (Logan & Marlatt, 2010). Discussing the use of protective strategies, which are behaviors that one engages in to limit potential consequences if they choose to use substances (e.g., avoiding high-risk drinking activities like drinking games, monitoring how much one is drinking), is one important component of these approaches.…”

“…Interventions with empirical evidence for young adult alcohol use include a discussion of strategies to limit heavy and problematic use if one chooses to drink (Carey et al, 2007;Cronce & Larimer, 2011;Logan & Marlatt, 2010;Miller et al, 2013;Scott-Sheldon et al, 2014). Although the literature is less compelling regarding efficacious brief interventions for young adult marijuana users, the models that do exist incorporate some discussion of protective strategies Lee et al, 2010Lee et al, , 2013.…”

ABSTRACT. Objective: Marijuana use can result in a variety of negative consequences, yet it remains popular among young adults and the general public at large. Combined with the growing empirical support for the benefits of medicinal marijuana as well as the steady increase in popular opinion regarding its legalization, it is of growing importance to identify strategies that may mitigate the harms related to marijuana use, reduce consumption levels, and limit resulting negative consequences among young adults who use marijuana. The purpose of this study was to develop and conduct initial psychometric analyses on a new scale, which we named the Protective Behavioral Strategies for Marijuana (PBSM) scale. Method: A sample of undergraduate college students who reported past-6-month marijuana use (n = 210) responded to the initial pool of PBSM items and completed measures of marijuana use, consequences from marijuana use, alcohol use, and protective behavioral strategies for alcohol. Results: Results from an iterative principal component analyses process yielded a single-factor structure with 39 items. The PBSM mean composite score negatively associated with marijuana use and consequences, with the strongest correlations evident for pastmonth users. The PBSM also significantly positively correlated with alcohol protective strategies. Conclusions: Protective behavioral strategies for marijuana appear to be a measurable construct that are related to marijuana frequency and consequences, and thus may be a useful component of intervention and prevention programs with young adults. More work testing the PBSM items with larger and more diverse samples of young adults is encouraged. (J. Stud. Alcohol Drugs, 77, 441-450, 2016)

This article examines the ways in which integrating a metatheory to guide qualitative interviews supports health theory and the research methodology of interviewing. This study applied Harm Reduction Theory (HRT) as a metatheory to the Reconceptualized Health Belief Model (RHBM) in targeting motorcyclists to practice safety behaviors. After integrating the metatheory with a health behavior theory to develop research questions and frame the interview guide, we recruited and interviewed 37 at-risk motorcyclists. The process of interviewing participants and the results of the study support the integration of harm reduction metatheory to enhance interview methodology as a way to effectively engage participants by building rapport, encouraging participants to apply theory, and empowering them to be open and honest in their responses. This research process highlights ways in which incorporating a metatheory to guide theory diverges from the more traditional, theory-driven approach to interviewing.
