Journal ArticleDOI
Sex differences in cocaine/heroin users: Drug-use triggers and craving in daily life
TL;DR: Findings provide real-time behavioral evidence that women respond differently than men to exposure to drug cues and to drug use, consistent with laboratory and brain-imaging findings.
Journal ArticleDOI
Clonidine Maintenance Prolongs Opioid Abstinence and Decouples Stress From Craving in Daily Life: A Randomized Controlled Trial With Ecological Momentary Assessment
William J. Kowalczyk,Karran A. Phillips,Michelle L. Jobes,Ashley P. Kennedy,Udi E. Ghitza,Daniel Agage,John P. Schmittner,David H. Epstein,Kenzie L. Preston +8 more
TL;DR: Ecological momentary assessment showed that daily-life stress was partly decoupled from opioid craving in the clonidine group, supporting the authors' hypothesized mechanism for clonacid's benefits.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Are we there yet?: feasibility of continuous stress assessment via wireless physiological sensors
Md. Mahbubur Rahman,Rummana Bari,Amin Ahsan Ali,Moushumi Sharmin,Andrew Raij,Karen Hovsepian,Syed Monowar Hossain,Emre Ertin,Ashley P. Kennedy,David H. Epstein,Kenzie L. Preston,Michelle L. Jobes,J. Gayle Beck,Satish Kedia,Kenneth D. Ward,Mustafa al'Absi,Santosh Kumar +16 more
TL;DR: The feasibility of measuring stress minutes preceding events of interest is shown and the sensor-derived stress to be rising prior to self-reported stress and smoking events are observed and a framework to analyze sensor data yield is proposed and found that losses in wireless channel is negligible.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Identifying drug (cocaine) intake events from acute physiological response in the presence of free-living physical activity
Syed Monowar Hossain,Amin Ahsan Ali,Md. Mahbubur Rahman,Emre Ertin,David L. Epstein,Ashley P. Kennedy,Kenzie L. Preston,Annie Umbricht,Yixin Chen,Santosh Kumar +9 more
TL;DR: A physiologically-informed model to automatically detect drug (cocaine) use events in the free-living environment of participants from their ECG measurements is developed and the dampening caused to the recovery by the activation of the sympathetic nervous system due to cocaine is estimated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Continuous in-the-field measurement of heart rate: Correlates of drug use, craving, stress, and mood in polydrug users
Ashley P. Kennedy,David H. Epstein,Michelle L. Jobes,Daniel Agage,Matthew Tyburski,Karran A. Phillips,Amin Ahsan Ali,Rummana Bari,Syed Monowar Hossain,Karen Hovsepian,Md. Mahbubur Rahman,Emre Ertin,Santosh Kumar,Kenzie L. Preston +13 more
TL;DR: High-yield, high-quality heart-rate data can be obtained from drug users in their natural environment as they go about their daily lives, and the resultant data robustly reflect episodes of cocaine and heroin use and other mental and behavioral events of interest.
