For many years, methamphetamine has been recognized as a substance that is commonly used together with other psychoactive substances, but there has been little research examining which substance combinations are most common and which are differently connected to regional, social, and economic factors in the United States. Jeff\u2019s manuscripts seek to inform both clinicians and public health professionals about the current gaps in methamphetamine use disorder prevention and treatment, in addition to novel insights regarding whether certain substance combinations are associated with co-occurring health conditions and other factors that may complicate treatment.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For more information about Jeff\u2019s research, please visit the <a href=\"https:\/\/reporter.nih.gov\/search\/oLE4auIIhUCVLpv5KPWzhQ\/project-details\/11120768\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/reporter.nih.gov\/search\/oLE4auIIhUCVLpv5KPWzhQ\/project-details\/11120768\">NIH\u2019s public reporting website.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As a fourth-year student in the San Diego State University\/University [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":15,"featured_media":18253,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-18256","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-program-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/psychology.sdsu.edu\/doctoral\/clinical\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18256","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/psychology.sdsu.edu\/doctoral\/clinical\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/psychology.sdsu.edu\/doctoral\/clinical\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/psychology.sdsu.edu\/doctoral\/clinical\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/15"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/psychology.sdsu.edu\/doctoral\/clinical\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=18256"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/psychology.sdsu.edu\/doctoral\/clinical\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18256\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":18261,"href":"https:\/\/psychology.sdsu.edu\/doctoral\/clinical\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18256\/revisions\/18261"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/psychology.sdsu.edu\/doctoral\/clinical\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/18253"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/psychology.sdsu.edu\/doctoral\/clinical\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=18256"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/psychology.sdsu.edu\/doctoral\/clinical\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=18256"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/psychology.sdsu.edu\/doctoral\/clinical\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=18256"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
