Overview

M. David Curtis is affiliated with the University of Michigan-Ann Arbor in the United States. Their research primarily falls within the broad field of Medicine, with a significant focus on Epidemiology, Sociology and Political Science, Public Health, Environmental and Occupational Health, General Health Professions, and Pediatrics, Perinatology and Child Health. Their work addresses various public health concerns related to substance use, criminal justice, and social determinants of health.

The scientist's recent publications illustrate their focus on substance use, particularly in populations affected by the criminal justice system. Notable recent papers include:

  • The Prison and Transition Health (PATH) cohort study: Prevalence of health, social, and crime characteristics after release from prison for men reporting a history of injecting drug use in Victoria, Australia (2021) in Drug and Alcohol Dependence
  • It is time for us all to embrace person-centred language for people in prison and people who were formerly in prison (2021) in International Journal of Drug Policy
  • Strategies to maximise study retention and limit attrition bias in a prospective cohort study of men reporting a history of injecting drug use released from prison: the prison and transition health study (2021) in BMC Medical Research Methodology
  • High rates of resumption of injecting drug use following release from prison among men who injected drugs before imprisonment (2022) in Addiction
  • Discontinuation of opioid agonist treatment following release from prison in a cohort of men who injected drugs prior to imprisonment in Victoria, Australia: A discrete-time survival analysis (2022) in Drug and Alcohol Dependence

M. David Curtis collaborates frequently with other researchers, including:

  • Paul Dietze
  • Mark Stoové
  • Rebecca Winter
  • Ashleigh C. Stewart
  • Reece Cossar

Their publications often appear in venues specializing in addiction, drug policy, and harm reduction. The most frequent publication venues are:

  • Drug and Alcohol Dependence
  • Drug and Alcohol Review
  • International Journal of Drug Policy
  • Harm Reduction Journal
  • The Medical Journal of Australia

The main topics addressed in Curtis's work include:

  • HIV, Drug Use, Sexual Risk
  • Homelessness and Social Issues
  • Criminal Justice and Corrections Analysis
  • Opioid Use Disorder Treatment
  • Substance Abuse Treatment and Outcomes
  • Prenatal Substance Exposure Effects
  • Supercapacitor Materials and Fabrication

This research demonstrates a cross-disciplinary approach integrating epidemiology, public health, and social sciences to examine the health outcomes and social issues faced by vulnerable populations, especially those with histories of injecting drug use and incarceration.
