  Title Multivariate modeling of club drug use initiation among gay and bisexual men Type Journal Article
  Year 2008 Publication Substance use and misuse Abbreviated Journal  
  Volume 43 Issue 7 Pages (down) 871-879  
  Keywords methamphetamines; designer drug; research chemical; cocaine; ecstasy; ketamine; gamma-hydroxybutyric acid; gay male; bisexual; AOD use initiation; New York City  
  Abstract This paper documents patterns and sequence of initiation of club drug use in a sample of 450 gay and bisexual men in New York City. Quantitative and qualitative baseline data from a yearlong longitudinal investigation conducted between 2001 and 2005 were analyzed. The study focused on the use of five club drugs – cocaine, GHB, ketamine, ecstasy, and methamphetamine – using self-reported indications of use for a period of 4 months prior to assessment. Patterns of club drug use among gay and bisexual demonstrated that poly-club-drug use is common, and that patterns of use can be differentiated along the lines of age, race/ethnicity, and sexual orientation, with those who are older, Black, and bisexual, reporting less club drug use. The majority of the men initiated use of the five club drugs as follows: (a) cocaine, (b) ecstasy, (c) ketamine, (d) methamphetamine, and (e) GHB. Variations in patterns were related to both age and level of poly-club-drug use. The sequencing and/or patterns of club drug use may be better explained by socialization processes in the gay community than by Gateway Theory, which has been traditionally used to explain patterns of drug use in the population. Future research should more closely examine the synergy of drug use combinations with an emphasis on measuring the extent to which the drugs are taken in synchronicity.

  Title Treatment of cocaine dependence in methadone maintenance clients : a pilot study comparing the efficacy of desipramine and amantadine Type Journal Article
  Year 1992 Publication International journal of the addictions Abbreviated Journal  
  Volume 27 Issue 7 Pages (down) 849-868  
  Keywords addiction; AOD dependence; chemical addiction; cocaine  
  Abstract We conducted a pilot study (N = 22) comparing the efficacy of desipramine and amantadine for treatment of cocaine dependence in methadone maintenance clients. The study which lasted 12 weeks, was double-blind, randomly assigned, and placebo-controlled. Subjects met DSM-III-R criteria for active cocaine dependence. All three groups’ cocaine use, craving, and depressive symptoms declined significantly, but intergroup differences were not significant. Clients receiving desipramine were significantly more likely to remain in treatment and to be cocaine free at study completion. The results emphasize the importance of delivering comprehensive services to the cocaine user in methadone treatment. Further evaluations of these two medications as adjuncts in the treatment of cocaine dependence are needed.
