ABSTRACT This study examined the lived experiences of 12 students in recovery from Substance Use Disorders (SUDs) who were members of Collegiate Recovery Programs (CRPs) at three academically-recognized universities that are also designated to be “party schools.” Using a three-interview series for in-depth phenomenological interviewing, this study investigated how students in recovery in CRPs make sense of their pasts, their present-day lives, and their futures. By analyzing students’ use of narrative, their use of social and cultural discourses, and the shifting subject positions they adopted, co-opted, and disputed in their ongoing identity construction as individuals in recovery, three main discursive themes were identified: First, recovery discourses were primarily rooted in the discourses of Alcoholics Anonymous. A second set of discourses drove students to acquire the qualifications necessary to gain a professional career and to avoid falling out of their social class. In the third set of discourses, students in CRPs defined and claimed social power for themselves, and their CRPs helped them establish various means to be “cool” in college. Reshuffling discourses to (re)position themselves, students in CRPs resisted college discourses that invited them to return to active use.

ABSTRACT Despite the continued emphasis on prescription opioids in the media and rise in substance use seen during the COVID-19 pandemic, medical school graduates today are unprepared to turn the tide on the opioid epidemic. In this paper, we review the current state of these topics in undergraduate medical education and explore what an educationally driven, forward-thinking approach to “healing” problematic substance use in our society might entail. These initiatives are discussed with the ultimate purpose of detailing how the education of future clinicians is necessary to improve our outcomes with the epidemic. We offer four educational initiatives relating to (1) comprehensive pain management, (2) developing a natural history of SUD by uniting psychiatric and neurological perspectives (3) providing patient exposure and training opportunities (4) enhancing and standardizing care through evidence-based medicine. This perspective is contextualized with a brief discussion of the national climate and societal factors that act inseparably on the present crisis. In focusing our efforts on the next generation of physicians, we hope to reform and improve the practices of future providers and begin to elicit meaningful change.

ABSTRACT This study has collected empirical studies, reviewed the data, and presented them in a single report to comprehensively understand the prevalence of alcohol consumption among Indian female adolescents. The findings indicate a dearth of studies on the issue; many studies have excluded females from being sampled. Those included have trivially explored and mentioned prevalence-related data in results or discussion sections only without much attention to spell out the findings per gender aspect. No specific emphasis has been given to female adolescents’ alcohol consumption in any of the studies reviewed. Half of these studies have reported less than 20% prevalence, and the remaining half have measured less than 7% of the prevalence rate for alcohol consumption among female adolescents in India. However, the dearth of studies indicates that the actual figure of alcohol prevalence among female adolescents in India would be much higher than that. Empirical studies mainly focused on female adolescents’ alcohol consumption are highly desirable.

ABSTRACT The primary aim of the current study is to determine the incremental efficacy of adding a novel values component to a personalized feedback intervention for young adult drinking. Undergraduate students (N = 254) were randomized to receive either traditional, traditional with values assessment, or values enhanced feedback. Results showed significant decreases in drinks per week (p < .01) and alcohol-related consequences (p < .05) across all feedback conditions. Further research is needed to determine whether using values-based feedback could enhance intervention effects and how best to incorporate feedback in a way that is feasible and acceptable to recipients.

ABSTRACT The aim of this case study was to explore the changes in emotional well-being for 12 adult (13 males, 1 female) residents with addiction, mental health, and homelessness issues who participated in a program that combined recreation therapy complementary physical and creative arts activities followed by a 12-step Christian meeting, twice a week for 2 hours over a 6-week period. Results revealed a 27% reduction in anxiety and a decrease in perceived stress of 24%. Negative mood symptoms also reduced by 13%. Resiliency, positive mood, and enjoyment showed 9%, 4%, and 13% improvements respectively. Depression remaining unchanged. This program showed promise in improving common symptoms for adults experiencing addiction, mental health, and homelessness issues.

ABSTRACT Substance use disorders are debilitating disorders with far reaching effects. However, many healthcare providers do not receive sufficient training on how to identify or respond to individuals who are at risk for SUDs. Because of this, residents of rural communities, who are served by fewer healthcare providers, are unlikely to encounter providers who are trained to respond effectively to SUDs. SBIRT is a tool used to intervene among patients engaging in risky substance use. Although numerous SBIRT training programs exist across the country, most have focused on relatively small groups of trainees, and have prioritized the training of mental health professionals. In response to this finding, we implemented a large-scale SBIRT training program designed to prepare approximately 540 medical students to meet the needs of patients at risk for or suffering from SUDs in West Texas. In this paper, we focused on medical student perceptions of the quality and utility of our SBIRT educational initiative. Student evaluations of the SBIRT training remained high across three cohorts of second-year medical students. The goal of this report is to provide recommendations to help enable any group to develop, adapt, and implement large-scale SBIRT training programs in other locations.

ABSTRACT The Behavior Change Technique Taxonomy version one (BCTTv1) was used to identify behavior change techniques (BCTs) to understand the current state of science of binge drinking interventions targeting college students. Thirteen studies were reviewed and 32 different BCTs were identified, with the most frequently coded BCTs being Feedback on behavior (2.2) and Social comparison (6.2). There was no apparent reason for how many BCTs were used in each intervention. Binge drinking interventions must use more diverse methods and focus on using several BCT categories like Regulation (11), which develops skills for behavioral maintenance, to create more effective prevention efforts.

ABSTRACT (a) Objective: This study examined the reliability and validity of the Texas Risk Assessment System (TRAS) alcohol and drug use screeners. (b) Method: We examined internal consistency, inter-item correlations, and used confirmatory factor analysis (CFA), and item response theory (IRT) to assess item-specific information regarding a single latent dimension of substance use severity. (c) Results: Results supported the TRAS alcohol and drug screeners to measure a single dimension of alcohol and drug use severity. More specifically, the instruments appear to be effective screeners of moderate to severe alcohol use problems, and thus effective screeners for referral for further assessment and possible treatment. (d) Conclusions: Treatment can only be provided for problems that are well defined and diagnosed. Continuing evaluation of substance abuse screeners and assessment is important, especially for justice-involved persons. Effective screeners can lead to more people getting needed assessment and treatment. Recommendations were to drop one item on each screener due to redundancy.

ABSTRACT This study explored alcohol use among Indian male adolescents and examined their positive attitudes toward alcohol consumption. Data were collected using a baseline data questionnaire and two standardized scales (Alcohol Attitude Scale and Alcohol Smoking and Substance Involvement Screening Test) from adolescents in a school setting near Jaipur, India. Participants were informed about the aims and objectives of the study and individual data confidentiality and asked to sign a consent form and fill out a questionnaire. The analysis was carried out using SPSS software, and statistical tests were performed as per the needs and requirements. The mean age of respondents was found to be 14.3 ± 1.810 years; more than half (64.8%) have already experienced tobacco, and 20.9% have experienced alcohol. The mean for Attitude Toward Alcohol was 94.23 ± 11.25; a larger portion (72.55%) of respondents were found to have a positive attitude toward alcohol consumption, 26.4% have a moderate attitude, and only 1.1% were found to have a normal attitude toward alcohol consumption. A large portion with a positive attitude toward alcohol consumption indicates the risk and vulnerability of adolescents for alcohol use and abuse; urgent response is highly desirable.
