“Buprenorphine doesn't hold me”: Neurochemical afterlives of state violence and the struggle for meaning in addiction treatment

Medical Anthropology Quarterly, EarlyView.
Abstract This paper analyzes two disparate experiences of buprenorphine, a medication for opioid addiction, in California. Within the context of the U.S. War on Drugs and after decades of criminalization, buprenorphine represents a shift toward outpatient medical treatment of opioid addiction, but it has been unequally distributed and experienced ...

Leveraging an Unhappiness Lens for Smarter Policies

Policy Studies Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Traditional policy research has largely focused on enhancing happiness or well‐being, privileging positive outcomes as the primary metric of success. We argue that a systematic focus on the drivers of unhappiness—rather than solely on happiness—offers a complementary analytical framework that can uncover hidden societal deficits and broaden ...

Vigilant Algorithms and the Contagion of Risk in Automated Opioid Risk Assessment

Sociology of Health &Illness, Volume 48, Issue 7, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Amid the ongoing opioid crisis, U.S. health systems have extended prescription monitoring interfaces with proprietary reports that provide clinicians with algorithmic risk scores to guide opioid decisions. However, little is known about how such tools shape clinical encounters, professional authority and accountability in everyday care.

Peripheral κ opioid receptor in pain and inflammation: From molecular signalling and gene expression to drug discovery

British Journal of Pharmacology, Volume 183, Issue 17, Page 5157-5189, September 2026.
The κ opioid receptor (κ receptor, KOR) is a G protein‐coupled receptor with well established roles in analgesia and immune modulation. Although historically studied primarily in the central nervous system (CNS), growing evidence indicates that κ signalling in peripheral tissues plays an important role in regulating pain, inflammation and immune ...

Long‐Acting Injectable Buprenorphine in Prison: Insights From a Short‐Answer Survey of People in the Criminal Justice System Commencing Long‐Acting Injectable Buprenorphine During a Non‐Randomised Clinical Trial

Drug and Alcohol Review, Volume 45, Issue 6, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Introduction Long‐acting injectable buprenorphine (LAIB) is increasingly used in the Criminal Justice System (CJS) for treating people with opioid use disorder; however, little is known about these patients' experiences. We aimed to understand the perspectives of participants commenced on LAIB in prison as a part of the Understanding NSW Long ...

Mapping opioid exposure through prescription data and postmortem analysis of opioid drugs in multiple tissues

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, Volume 92, Issue 8, Page 2624-2635, August 2026.
Background and Purpose Although opioids are central to end of life (EoL) care, tissue‐level opioid exposure remains poorly understood. The objective of this study was to characterize the relationship between prescription‐derived morphine equivalent daily dose (MEDD) and measured morphine concentrations across multiple organs.
