“…Specifically, the current teams’ research documented how societal forces and group-level perceptions contribute to health care disparities. For instance, the members of Team 1 cited literature stating that Black individuals are more likely to be screened for drug use while pregnant, experience child protective service involvement after their child is born, and be victimized by antidrug policies than White people (Harp & Bunting, 2020; Kemper et al, 2021). It is important to recognize that this exercise is a small step for trainees to work toward socially just research.…”

Over the past few decades of psychological research, there has been an important increase in both the application of multidisciplinary or collaborative science and in training and research that emphasizes social justice and cultural humility. In the current article, we report on the use of the “Paper Chase” as a team science training and research experience that also facilitates cultural humility in research and when working in teams. The Paper Chase is a synchronous writing exercise originally conceptualized by a cohort of health service psychology interns to reduce lag time between article writing and submission (Schaumberg et al., 2015). The Paper Chase involves a group of trainees coming together for a predetermined amount of time (e.g., 9 or more hours) with the aim of writing and submitting a full article for publication. In the current article, we extend a previous report on the Paper Chase by formally linking the training experience to the four phases of team science: development, conceptualization, implementation, and translation. We also discuss ways in which the Paper Chase as a training experience can promote cultural humility. Finally, we provide updated recommendations for successfully completing a Paper Chase project. Overall, the authors of this article who were predoctoral psychology interns across two recent cohorts at one academic medical center reported positive experiences from the Paper Chase. In addition, the present study suggests that the Paper Chase can be used as one activity that facilitates critical training in team science.

“…Additionally, we hypothesized that infants from rural areas and infants with Black birthing parents would have greater odds of experiencing out of home placement. (Harp & Bunting, 2020; Kemper et al, 2021; Maguire-Jack & Kim, 2021; Smith et al, 2021).…”

“…Racial/ethnic discrimination is one contextual factor that can determine which pregnant persons get screened (Harp & Bunting, 2020). For example, Black persons are likelier to be screened for drug use while pregnant, experience CPS involvement after giving birth, and victimized by anti-drug policies (Harp & Bunting, 2020; Kemper et al, 2021). Moreover, differences between race and substance use typology can predict CPS involvement.…”

Considerations and Determinants of Discharge Decisions among Prenatal Substance Exposed Infants

et al. 2023

Limited research has examined a comprehensive set of predictors when evaluating discharge placement decisions for infants exposed to substances prenatally. Using a previously validated medical record data extraction tool, the current study examined prenatal substance exposure, infant intervention (i.e., pharmacologic, or non-pharmacologic), and demographic factors (e.g., race and ethnicity and rurality) as predictors of associations with discharge placement in a sample from a resource-poor state ( N = 136; 69.9% Non-Hispanic White). Latent class analysis (LCA) was used to examine whether different classes emerged and how classes were differentially related to discharge placement decisions. Logistic regressions were used to determine whether each predictor was uniquely associated with placement decisions. Results of the LCA yielded a two-class solution comprised of (1) a Low Withdrawal Risk class, characterized by prenatal exposure to substances with low risk for neonatal abstinence syndrome (NAS) and non-pharmacologic intervention, and (2) a High Withdrawal Risk class, characterized by a high risk of NAS and pharmacologic intervention. Classes were not related to discharge placement decisions. Logistic regressions demonstrated that meth/amphetamine use during pregnancy was associated with greater odds of out of home placement above other substance types. Future research should replicate and continue examining the clinical utility of these classes.

“…It has been estimated that between 129 and 170 million people world-wide consume cannabis daily (Adinoff & Reiman 2019 ; Petranker et al 2020 ). Enforcement of the illegal status of cannabis in jurisdictions has often had serious negative consequences, particularly among disadvantaged and/or racialized communities (Earp et al 2021 ; Kemper et al 2021 ). The need to remedy this inequity has been a key driver of efforts to legalize (or decriminalize) possession and use of cannabis (Aaronson & Rothschild-Elyassi 2021 ; Earp et al 2021 ).…”

Background Canada took a national approach to recreational cannabis that resulted in official legalization on October 17, 2018. In the United States (US), the approach has been more piecemeal, with individual states passing their own laws regulating adult use. The objective of this study was to compare the two jurisdictions. Methods Two exploratory, quantitative surveys were administered in May of 2021 in both Canada and the US. One thousand forty-seven Canadian and 1037 US residents (age 19 and older) were surveyed on approaches to and attendant regulations of consumer cannabis. Tests of significance were performed to analyze differences between two groups. Results No statistically significant differences exist between the two countries in terms of cannabis legalization acceptance. Usage rates among adults was similar with 45% of Canadians and 42% of Americans confirming they consume cannabis. Respondents maintain that they intend to increase their usage, with edibles attracting a rising level of interest from consumers. Conclusions Results suggest that public policy in both Canada and the USA needs to change to reflect rapidly evolving acceptance of cannabis products in North America to realize potential economic returns.
