  • 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
