ABSTRACTBackground Alcohol use is significantly accentuated in young adults, making it important to explore the mechanisms underlying consumption. According to the dual process model, implicit associations have a significant influence on alcohol consumption. Literature has been shown that working memory can moderate the effect of implicit associations on alcohol use and its consequences on hazardous drinkers but conclusions about subjects with other drinking patterns are contradictory.Objective This study aimed to assess the moderating role of working memory on the relationship between implicit associations and alcohol use and its consequences in a sample with a low-risk drinking pattern.Methods Sixty-five young adults aged between 18 and 25 years were included. Participants answered questions about measures of consumption pattern, alcohol-related consequences, implicit alcohol-identity associations and working memory.Results Evidence was found about the moderating role of working memory; in individuals with lower working memory there is a stronger link between alcohol-related implicit associations and alcohol use and its consequences.Conclusions Our findings highlight the crucial role of working memory across different levels of consumption, allowing us to outline efforts that may prevent the evolution to more severe consumption patterns.KEYWORDS: Alcohol consumptionyoung adultsdual-process modelimplicit associationsworking memory Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Additional informationFundingThis work was funded by national funds through FCT - Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologia - as part the project CIP - Refª UIDB/PSI/04345/2020.
摘要背景:在年轻人中,酒精的使用明显增加,这使得探索饮酒机制变得非常重要。根据双过程模型,内隐联想对酒精消费有显著影响。文献表明,工作记忆可以缓和内隐联想对酒精使用的影响,以及它对危险饮酒者的影响,但关于其他饮酒模式的研究对象的结论是矛盾的。目的本研究旨在评估工作记忆在低风险饮酒模式下内隐联想与饮酒及其后果之间的调节作用。方法选取年龄在18 ~ 25岁的青壮年65例。参与者回答了有关消费模式、酒精相关后果、隐性酒精身份关联和工作记忆的问题。结果发现了工作记忆的调节作用;在工作记忆较差的个体中,与酒精相关的内隐联想与酒精使用及其后果之间存在更强的联系。我们的研究结果强调了工作记忆在不同消费水平中的关键作用,使我们能够概述可能阻止更严重消费模式演变的努力。关键词:饮酒;年轻人;双过程模型;内隐联想;本工作由国家基金通过FCT - funda para a Ciência e a technology资助,作为项目CIP - Ref - UIDB/PSI/04345/2020的一部分。

ABSTRACTObjectives This study describes an emergency department (ED)-based intervention for individuals with opioid use disorder (OUD) in an urban health system. The intervention utilized electronic health records to screen for OUD and implemented warm hand-offs using certified recovery specialists (CRS). The intervention also encouraged physicians to become certified to prescribe buprenorphine.Methods We surveyed individuals using the Center for Substance Use Treatment Government Performance and Results Act (GPRA) survey. 302 individuals were surveyed at baseline on self-reported drug use, quality of life, and health care utilization, and 53 completed a reassessment at three or six-month intervals. Differences in outcomes were assessed using pairwise t-tests at the 95% level of significance.Results Participation in the intervention was associated with a reduction in self-reported drug use and reductions in inpatient care. While we found an increase in quality of life, there were also increases in reports of “any depression.”Conclusion Better screening, warm hand-offs, and buprenorphine prescriptions in the ED can improve outcomes for individuals with OUD. Lessons learned include challenges reassessing individuals with OUD, the importance of supporting ED staff with buprenorphine training and CRS, and the possibility that depressive symptoms may emerge and worsen as individuals with OUD seek treatment.KEYWORDS: Opioid use disorderemergency department opioid screeningcertified recovery specialistspeer serviceswarm hand-off AcknowledgmentsThis study was funded by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration.

ABSTRACTBackground Early screening and interventions are necessary to curb the negative consequences of youth substance use. ASSIST-Lite is the short form of the Alcohol, Smoking and Substance Involvement Screening Test (ASSIST 3.0) for rapid screening of substance-use disorder. This study aims to translate and validate the ASSIST-Lite questionnaire into the Malay language.Methods The ASSIST-Lite instrument, consisting of 6 main components with 3–4 items and two extra items was translated via the forward-backward process. Face and content validity was assessed by expert panels from relevant fields. Internal reliability was measured using Kuder-Richardson 20, and test-retest reliability was measured using Cohen’s Kappa.Results The item level of content validity index (I-CVI) is 1.00 for all items. There were 511 respondents, and a majority were Malays. The age range was 13 to 49 years old, with a mean age of 17 (SD = 6.392). Both internal and test-retest reliability showed satisfactory results with alpha value between 0.772 to 0.882 and Kappa value between 0.8 to 1, respectively.Conclusions The Malay version of ASSIST-Lite is reliable to screen substance use and its severity risk. However, further studies are required to evaluate its sensitivity and effectiveness in the clinical setting.KEYWORDS: Substance usetranslationpsychometricscreeningaddiction AcknowledgmentsWe would like to thank the Ministry of Higher Education Malaysia for funding this study under the grant LRGS/1/2019/UKM/02/2/3, as well as Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia Medical Centre and the Ministry of Education Malaysia for the support in conducting this study.Author contributionSW: Conceptualization, Resources, Writing – review & Editing, Supervision, Funding Acquisition.

A total of 19.2% did not consider addiction a medical disease, 37.4% thought that addiction was a moral failing, and 37.4% believed that addiction was a voluntary decision. 28.3% thought that only people with weak willpower will become addicted, 42.1% thought that trying substances would not lead to addiction, and 38.4% thought that substances can be quit without medical treatment. A total of 52.7% reported that they were afraid of people with addictions, 22.9% stated that they would not employ SUD patients in their workplace even if they had been treated. Only 36.8% of the participants had received any addiction-related training in their lifetime.Conclusion Our findings display that the level of knowledge about addiction in society in Turkey is low, and there is substantial stigmatization and negative views on people with addictions.KEYWORDS: Substance use disorderaddictionstigmaattitudeknowledge level Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Consent to participateInformed consent was obtained from all the participants that were a part of this study.Congress presentationThis study was presented verbally on November 5–8, 2022, at the 7th Psychiatry Summit & 14th Anxiety Congress.Data availability statementThe data that support the findings of this study are available on request from the corresponding author.

ABSTRACTBackground There is a high prevalence of generalized anxiety disorder among immigrants in South Korea. The effect on health behavior is a major concern. However, epidemiological studies suggest that African asylum seekers with generalized anxiety disorders most often manifest co-occurring alcohol use disorder attributes. This study aimed to examine the mediating and moderating effect of emotional intelligence and coping strategies on the generalized anxiety disorder and alcohol use disorder of African asylum seekers in South Korea.Methods Using the SPSS PROCESS macro, a cross-sectional quantitative survey design, self-reported questionnaires were distributed to 302 African asylum seekers living in South Korea.

The effect on health behavior is a major concern. However, epidemiological studies suggest that African asylum seekers with generalized anxiety disorders most often manifest co-occurring alcohol use disorder attributes. This study aimed to examine the mediating and moderating effect of emotional intelligence and coping strategies on the generalized anxiety disorder and alcohol use disorder of African asylum seekers in South Korea.Methods Using the SPSS PROCESS macro, a cross-sectional quantitative survey design, self-reported questionnaires were distributed to 302 African asylum seekers living in South Korea. The data was performed with descriptive statistics and moderated mediation analysis using ordinary least squares path analysis to investigate all research problems.Results The study path model showed a good fit and supported the hypothesis that generalized anxiety disorder has a detrimental effect on alcohol use disorder and a negative effect on emotional intelligence. Emotional intelligence was proven to be a mediator, and coping strategies moderated the relationship between generalized anxiety disorder and alcohol use disorder.Conclusions Emotional intelligence and coping strategies are critical constructs to help control African asylum seekers’ anxiety disorders and desire for alcohol consumption.KEYWORDS: Generalized anxiety disorderalcohol use disorderemotional intelligencecoping strategyAfrican asylum seekers Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Data availability statementThe raw data required to reproduce the above findings cannot be shared at this moment due technical reasons and it forms part of an ongoing study.Additional informationFundingThe author(s) reported there is no funding associated with the work featured in this article.","PeriodicalId":17097,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Substance Use","volume":"2017 28","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135635995","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
