ABSTRACTThe study examined the relative importance of heavy episodic drinking (HED)-specific determinants on past 2-week HED status among White, Black, and Hispanic young adults. Analyzing data from the wave III binge sample of the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent to Adult Health, the study found that the relevance of HED-specific beliefs/expectancies, injunctive and descriptive norms, social images/prototypes, self-efficacy, and anticipatory emotions may vary within and across these construct domains, and by race and ethnicity. These findings highlight the need for alcohol prevention programs tailored by demographic characteristics such as race and ethnicity to enhance intervention effects. Larger-scale studies are necessary to confirm these results.KEYWORDS: Behavioral determinantsbinge drinkingdecision makingdominance analysisreasoned action approachtheory of planned behavior Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Ethics approvalThe research was classified as non-human subject research by the Institutional Review Board from the authors’ institutions.Supplementary materialSupplemental data for this article can be accessed online at https://doi.org/10.1080/1533256X.2023.2280959.

ABSTRACTSubstance use treatment is aimed at improving the well-being of the receiving clients. Given the clinician–client interactions inherent in treatment, understanding clinician influence on treatment outcomes is important. Utilizing clinical data mining, we used existing data from the clinical files of 444 clients who received substance use day treatment. Using multinomial logistic regression and linear regression, we examined whether and which client strengths and weaknesses perceived and recorded by clinicians during a client’s assessment predict client engagement and treatment completion. The results showed that willingness to seek treatment and outside support increased the likelihood of completing treatment, while financial support decreased it. We also found that clinician perceptions of a client’s inability to benefit from treatment predicted low levels of engagement in treatment. We then discuss implications for social work of this study.KEYWORDS: Clinical data miningdischargeengagementstrengthssubstance use treatmentweaknesses Disclosure statementDuring the time of data collection and for a short time afterward, the second author was paid by the organization where the data came from to provide clinical supervision and to consult on occasion. Further, the owner and president at the time of data collection were family relatives. The organization is now under new ownership. There is no financial gain or other incentive tied to the study reported in this manuscript. The study is independent of the clinical support he was paid to provide.Additional informationFundingThis work was supported by Brigham Young University, Office of Research & Creative Activities, Mentoring Environment Grants.

ABSTRACTLower education levels among addiction treatment service users poses a significant communication barrier in addiction treatment. We sought to develop a new visual educational resource to support recurrence prevention among those seeking alcohol dependency treatment. Eighty-six Canadian addiction counseling professionals provided feedback on the model developed based upon five principles of evidence-based visuals: content, cognitive load, writing style, organization, and color choice. Thematic analysis revealed overwhelmingly positive feedback for the infographic as a resource that could benefit service users with poor educational backgrounds or for whom English was not their first language. Specific feedback and critique were used to generate an enhanced visual resource that combines science communication theory with clinical expertise of addiction counselor in order to reinforce complex ideas in a simpler manner.KEYWORDS: Addiction treatment educationalcohol misusehealth informationinfographicrecurrencevisual communication Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).

ABSTRACTMany individuals turn to specialty treatment or peer support groups for help abstaining from substance use. Those individuals receive a variety of suggestions to support their recovery efforts. The goal of this research was to explore the messages received by individuals from treatment providers and peer supports regarding the role of romantic relationships in early substance misuse recovery. Qualitative data collected form a larger primarily quantitative online survey were analyzed using structured tabular thematic analysis. Results indicate that, while existing relationships were supported, new romantic relationships were discouraged. Participants provided insight into the nuanced nature of the role of romantic relationships, suggesting that individual and partner characteristics may influence how romantic relationships are experienced and their impact on recovery efforts. These findings provide insight into the perceived barriers and benefits of romantic relationships in early recovery.KEYWORDS: Early recoveryqualitativeromantic relationshipssubstance misusethematic analysis Disclosure statementThe authors confirm there are no relevant financial or non-financial competing interests to report.Data availability statementThe data that support the findings of this study are available from the corresponding author, NZ, upon reasonable request.

There is currently an insufficient supply of licensed substance use disorder counselors (SUDCs) to meet demand for services and the gap between supply and demand is projected to grow. Paraprofessional SUDCs offer one path to helping close this gap. The current study presents outcomes from a paraprofessional SUDC certificate program for Bachelor of Social Work (BSW) students. Student data (N = 66) were used to examine pre- to post-program changes in generalized SUDC knowledge and pre- to posttest changes in knowledge and self-efficacy from evidence-based workshops. Paired sample t-tests indicated that program participation significantly increased generalized SUDC knowledge. Participation in workshops significantly increased knowledge of motivational interviewing, integrative medicine, harm reduction, and grief and loss and self-efficacy related to integrative medicine and harm reduction. BSW students gain generalized and treatment-specific knowledge via participation in a SUDC certificate program. The deployment of paraprofessional SUDCs may provide one strategy to reduce treatment gaps
