People who use opioids often report a desire to quit cigarettes, but little research has explored concurrent reductions in opioid and cigarette use in treatments for PTSD and substance use disorders.Objective: This exploratory study examined changes in cigarette use in a pilot study of an integrated psychotherapy for co-occurring opioid use disorder (OUD) and PTSD.Method: Daily cigarette use was measured using the Timeline Followback at 30 days before baseline, during weekly intervention sessions, and at 1-month follow-up. Bootstrapped linear mixed effect models tested for self-reported reductions in cigarette use across a subsample (n=4) who reported using cigarettes at baseline.Results: Results showed reductions in the average number of cigarettes used per day (CPD) between baseline and 1-month follow-up (B=-.93, SE=.41, p=.04) from an average of 17.06 (SD=15.32) CPD at baseline to an average of 8.07 (SD=9.28) CPD at follow-up. Additionally, participants reported high satisfaction with the intervention, with a mean score of 28.33 (SD=2.78) on the Client Satisfaction Questionnaire and all participants completed the intervention.Conclusions: Exploratory findings suggest that the integrated treatment for OUD/PTSD may have assisted in reductions of co-occurring cigarette use. Notable limitations include the study's small sample size, lack of a control group, and lack of nicotine product-specific self-report and biological measures. Although exploratory, observed changes suggest future work should explore concurrent reductions in opioid and cigarette use in randomized clinical trials for OUD/PTSD.","PeriodicalId":12055,"journal":{"name":"European Journal of Psychotraumatology","volume":"17 1","pages":"2697550"},"PeriodicalIF":4.2,"publicationDate":"2026-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148600877","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This framework enables researchers to describe child traumatic stress interventions at a granular level, facilitating novel analyses examining specific intervention components across nominally distinct intervention models.

Additional benefits, potential challenges, and further considerations are discussed.Conclusions: FAIR data provide an important and feasible avenue to address pressing and timely questions on sex/gender-related aspects in trauma research.

For racialized immigrants and refugees, frequent exposure to racist events is one of several predictors of mental health outcomes. According to race-based traumatic stress theory, repeated exposure to racist events can undermine safety, belonging, and dignity, and may lead to racial trauma, referring to the psychological and physiological stress responses arising from such experiences. However, it remains unknown whether racial trauma plays a mediating role in the relationship between racist events and mental health symptoms. To address this gap, the present study aimed to examine racial trauma as a mediator of this relationship among racialized immigrants and refugees in Canada.Methods: A sample of 182 immigrants and refugees in Canada (Mage = 30.76; 52.2% men; 52.7% of African descent) completed self-report measures. The mediating role of racial trauma in the relationship between racist events and mental health symptoms (PTSD, depression, anxiety) was examined using PROCESS Model 4.Results: Results indicated that racial trauma significantly explained the relationship between racist events and mental health outcomes, including PTSD (B = 0.35, CI [0.20, 0.56]), depression (B = 0.11, CI [0.06, 0.18]), and anxiety (B = 0.12, CI [0.08, 0.17]). The model accounted for 34.02% to 46.21% of the variances in mental health outcomes.Conclusions: Among racialized immigrants and refugees, greater exposure to racist events was associated with elevated racial trauma, which contributed to higher PTSD, depression, and anxiety symptoms. Clinicians, community organizations, and policymakers should integrate anti-racism strategies and racial trauma frameworks to support the mental health of immigrants and refugees.","PeriodicalId":12055,"journal":{"name":"European Journal of Psychotraumatology","volume":"17 1","pages":"2737042"},"PeriodicalIF":4.2,"publicationDate":"2026-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149227579","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

PTSD symptom domains, DSO symptom domains, and BDD symptom severity and covariates were assessed via self-report measures.Results: Analyses indicated higher BDD symptom severity and a greater proportion of clinically significant BDD symptoms at T3 among participants exposed to IPV at T1. A sense of threat, negative self-concept, and disturbed relationships at T2 were associated with elevated BDD symptom severity at T3. However, only negative self-concept mediated the relationship between the degree of IPV exposure and BDD symptom severity; greater IPV exposure at T1 was associated with increased negative self-concept at T2, which, in turn, was associated with higher BDD symptom severity at T3.Conclusions: The current findings suggest that IPV survivors are at heightened risk for BDD symptoms and highlight negative self-concept, a component of DSO, as a potential mechanism underlying this vulnerability.","PeriodicalId":12055,"journal":{"name":"European Journal of Psychotraumatology","volume":"17 1","pages":"2692770"},"PeriodicalIF":4.2,"publicationDate":"2026-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148469804","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
