Unfortunately, there are few guidelines or narratives for unexpected complications between replicators and those providing the data sets. The current article is a case study regarding a replication of a study of 270 criminally-justice involved individuals with substance use disorders, who were randomized either to self-help recovery homes, professionally led therapeutic communities or a control condition. The replicators and the original investigators arrived at different conclusions regarding critical post-incarceration outcomes. These types of discrepancies can have critical policy implications particularly as there are so few randomized studies examining post-incarceration outcomes for those released from jails and prisons. The contrasting conclusions were, in part, due to differences in a variety of conceptual and methodological issues. To avoid these types of difficulties, we propose several types of recommendations designed to enhance the scientific process for replication studies and secondary use data sets.","PeriodicalId":45949,"journal":{"name":"Alcoholism Treatment Quarterly","volume":"40 1","pages":"403 - 411"},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2022-05-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49342252","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The VA is uniquely poised to treat women veterans in ways that address their distinct experiences. In an effort to incorporate both veteran-centric and gender-specific treatment for women veterans with SUD, this Quality Improvement (QI) project adapted the Women’s Recovery Group (WRG) curriculum to address women veterans’ needs. Using a mixed-methods pre-post pilot evaluation, the acceptability and helpfulness of this adapted intervention was assessed by tracking attendance, session-specific feedback, Brief Addiction Monitor-Revised (BAM-R) scores, and qualitative exit interviews among twenty-nine women veterans engaged in a VA SUD treatment clinic, of which 90% endorsed alcohol use disorder. Women veterans found the content relevant and helpful in addition to the gender-specific treatment setting. The mean number of sessions attended was comparable to the original WRG study and changes on individual BAM-R items indicated that most women maintained good functioning or improved. In summary, this QI project shows promising results for this adapted intervention geared toward meeting the needs of women veterans with SUD and our results call for further research to more fully evaluate the efficacy of the intervention for this growing group of veterans.","PeriodicalId":45949,"journal":{"name":"Alcoholism Treatment Quarterly","volume":"40 1","pages":"280 - 293"},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2022-04-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47817400","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This article aimed to study the possible relationships between participation in AA, spirituality and resilience and identify the best spiritual predictors of resilience. Spirituality, participation in AA, and resilience were assessed in a population of AA members recruited throughout France (N = 263, age: M = 58.08, SD = 9.92), using the Religious Background and Behavior Scale the Spiritual Well-Being Scale, the Recovery Interview and g the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale. Correlations, means comparisons, principal components analyses, and multiple regressions were performed. The 263 participants had resilience characteristics, a quality relationship with a God/Higher Power (God/HP), and an existential well-being greater than the general population. Increased participation in AA predicted increased spirituality. The best spiritual predictors of increased resilience were believing in a life purpose, sense of well-being about one’s future and being able to appreciate life. Results encourage clinicians to implement positive psychological interventions in the care of patients with AUD and to assign empowering tasks to them.","PeriodicalId":45949,"journal":{"name":"Alcoholism Treatment Quarterly","volume":"40 1","pages":"379 - 392"},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2022-03-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43121510","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The first section focuses on young adults and college students. Whitney utilizes phenomenological methodology to analyze narratives of students in collegiate recovery programs (CRP) in three large public research universities. In this article, topics of recovery, identity, aligning with recovery groups, social implications of being “cool” and pursuing academic success and professional careers are explored. Gerber et al., support the expansion of collegiate recovery programs by providing a cost–benefit analysis of developing CRPs in institutions of higher learning. Brett et al., present findings showing that a values-based feedback added to the standard web-based personalized feedback intervention content utilized by college students in a large public university resulted in significant reductions in alcohol consumption and related consequences. Jason et al., report on facilitation of relationships and organizational characteristics in recovery homes being significant in understanding risk factors for eviction outcomes. Patterson Silver Wolf’s group analyzed data from the Treatment Episode Data Set (TEDS) and created profiles of individuals with alcohol use disorder who may be more likely to be treatment resistant in the interest of informing and shaping individualized AUD treatment. This next section presents articles on people with mental health disorders comorbid with alcohol and substance use disorders. Litchke explored the benefit of a combined recreation therapy with complementary physical and creative arts activities followed by a 12-step Christian meeting among adult residents with mental health and substance use disorders. This group of investigators finds a reduction in anxiety and perceived stress with improvements in resiliency and positive mood even as depression remained. Hune explores the experience of disconnectedness among persons with schizophrenia and substance use disorders. The findings of Schuckher and Sellin suggest the outcomes of AUD for socially stable women are enhanced with a treatment focus on the patient’s own goals of abstinence. This was found to be the most stable outcome leading the authors to posit that in this population it may be a strong motivating factor for success. We conclude this issue with a focus on the education component in treatment and recovery. Wylie and Zacharoff tackle the current opioid epidemic from the perspective of medical education. They offer four educational initiatives relating to comprehensive pain management, neuropsychiatric perspective of SUD, exposure and training opportunities, and enhancement of standard of care through evidencebased medicine.

Evaluating the Effectiveness of Different Goal-Based Alcohol Reduction Interventions among Young People","authors":"Mark Rubin, A. Hutton","doi":"10.1080/07347324.2022.2037486","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/07347324.2022.2037486","url":null,"abstract":"ABSTRACT The present research aimed to investigate the relative effectiveness of three types of alcohol reduction intervention. Participants were 354 university students from an Australian university. After completing an initial survey, they were randomly assigned to either (a) follow national guidelines for alcohol consumption, (b) set their own personal alcohol consumption reduction goal, or (c) work with their peers to set a goal. Participants then recorded their alcohol consumption in a drinking diary over a period of four weeks. The results showed that participants in the personal goal condition reported significantly higher alcohol consumption than those in the national guidelines conditions, with participants in the group goal condition reporting mid-level alcohol consumption. This effect was moderated by binge drinking propensity. Personal goal setting was most likely to lead to higher alcohol consumption when participants scored relatively high on measures of binge drinking propensity. These findings highlight the point that different types of alcohol reduction interventions may be effective for different types of people. In particular, people who have a relatively high propensity for binge drinking should be encouraged to follow goals that have been set by authorities (e.g., national guidelines) rather than by themselves.","PeriodicalId":45949,"journal":{"name":"Alcoholism Treatment Quarterly","volume":"40 1","pages":"311 - 321"},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2022-02-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45919354","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The present study provides an update regarding a previously published and implemented multifamily group curriculum (MFGC) for family members of those with an SUD. More specifically, changes to the curriculum are highlighted, and results from data analyses on important factors associated with individual and family member recovery are shared and discussed. There is evidence of this updated MFGC continuing to be an effective intervention for family members with a loved-one seeking recovery from an SUD; however, greater and more long-term support for family members is still needed. Additionally, results of this study showed that change in important factors associated with family member wellbeing and family recovery is associated with relapse status of the loved-one seeking recovery from a SUD at a follow-up time point.","PeriodicalId":45949,"journal":{"name":"Alcoholism Treatment Quarterly","volume":"40 1","pages":"358 - 378"},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2022-01-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42212513","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study examined factors that may predict abstinence 12 months after the end of treatment for AUD in socially stable women. Fifty-seven women with AUD participated in 12-month follow-up. Information about sociodemographic, alcohol-related, psychiatric symptoms, psychological functioning, and participants’ treatment goals and ability to change alcohol habits were gathered from structured interviews and self-report instruments. Predictors for abstinence at the 12-month follow up were calculated by univariable and multivariable logistic regression models. Significant predictors for abstinence were having no history of childhood abuse (OR: 8.13; 95%CI: 2.22–29.75; p < .01) and a goal of abstinence at the end of treatment (OR: 15.17; 95%CI: 3.45–66.69; p < .001). Most participants (>60%) achieved their goals of abstinence or low-risk drinking. The results highlight the significance of identifying patients with experiences of childhood abuse, since such experiences may adversely affect the outcome of AUD treatment. Our findings also emphasize the importance of patients’ own goals of abstinence, since it resulted in the most stable outcome. Treatment could, therefore, also focus on motivating individuals to aim for abstinence.","PeriodicalId":45949,"journal":{"name":"Alcoholism Treatment Quarterly","volume":"40 1","pages":"244 - 257"},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2022-01-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48392563","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
