Abstract To mitigate alcohol-related harm, various stakeholders have advanced the construct of ‘responsible drinking.’ However, clarity regarding ‘responsible drinking’ in evaluation research is limited. Additionally, the alcohol industry often uses the term without any mention of clear limits or meaning. At this point it is unclear whether stakeholders are adopting a shared understanding of the ‘responsible drinking’ concept; such a shared understanding is essential for the development, implementation, and evaluation of consumer protection strategies that rest on individual responsibility. Therefore, we sought to describe 6 stakeholders’ use of the construct. Stakeholder sectors included (1) academics, (2) government organizations, (3) alcohol industry, (4) alcohol treatment centers, (5) U.S. higher education institutions, and (6) addiction professionals’ organizations. We searched a total of 133 sources representing these stakeholder sectors. Despite frequent use of the term ‘responsible drinking’ or a close derivative, only 17 sources provided an explicit definition. Coding revealed that the ‘responsible drinking’ message is still ambiguous, which means that consumers are not being provided clear harm avoidance guidance. Future research should create a shared conceptualization of responsible drinking to include all dimensions relevant to the construct. Furthermore, alternative phrases such as ‘safe drinking’ or ‘moderate drinking’ may be used to emphasize different dimensions of responsible drinking and may warrant further study. Like responsible drinking, other terms will require careful development, as well, but might benefit in terms of acceptability and reception from the absence of a positive connotation.

Abstract Purpose Photovoice, a community-based participatory research strategy, allows participants to take up an active role in data collection by discussing their views and life (conditions) based on the photographs they have taken. In this methodological article, we present a case study in which photovoice was used to unravel the meaning of recovery capital. Recovery capital is an overarching concept to understand the personal, social and community resources helping people to recover. Method Seven participants in recovery from drug use and desistance from offending took photographs of their lived experiences related to recovery capital. During face-to-face interviews, these photographs were discussed, focusing on recovery capital components. Results The case study led to in-depth insights into the photographs’ meanings and stories from the point of view of the participants. Conclusion This contribution investigates the role of photovoice in expanding our understanding of recovery capital. By means of a case study we highlight the several steps taken by the researcher and the advantages and shortcomings of this method. It appears that photovoice offers great value for eliciting insights in the lived experiences of participants and for participants to grow empowerment and agency. This article hopes to inspire researchers to consider photovoice for their (future) research projects.

Abstract The National Institute of Drug Addiction has promoted the Brain Disease Model of Addiction (BDMA) for several decades, believing it will have a positive impact on drug-related social policies. Per research, neither understanding nor accepting the BDMA positively influences social behavior and decision making related to decreased stigma or increased support for treatment and funding for substance use disorders. An alternative model, the Malleability Model, focuses on the changeability of psychopathology associated with psychiatric disorders, and is associated with decreased hopelessness and increased prognostic optimism. The Moral Weakness Model focuses on moral character as the reason for addiction and is associated with punitive responses to use disorders. The current study sought to identify whether Malleability values were more predictive of willingness to vote for harm reduction (HR) policies than BDMA and Moral values (H1); and if agreement with Malleability values were more predictive of willingness to fund such policies than agreement with BDMA and Moral values (H2). Contrary to hypotheses, results indicated the Malleability Model failed to predict votes and donations, while agreement with the Moral Weakness Model and conservative political affiliation was predictive of lower HR donations. Agreement with the BDMA did not reliably predict votes and donations to policies; the associations reflected were tenuous and should be interpreted with caution. Overall, results indicated the Malleability Model did not increase votes and donations to HR policies, while agreement with Moral Weakness Model and conservative affiliation consistently predicted votes and donations.

Abstract Background Motives to gamble are important in the functional analysis of problematic gambling. This study examines the possibility of classifying young male gamblers based on their motives to gamble and compares the identified groups to validate the obtained classification. Method Based on a screening survey among 2,681 young men from Bavaria, n=170 frequent or problem gamblers (Mage = 22.3 years, SD = 2.5) were recruited to participate in a survey with a 2-year follow-up. Latent class analyses (LCA) were conducted based on baseline answers to 10 items measuring five domains of gambling motives: enhancement, coping, self-gratification, and social and financial motives. The identified classes were compared regarding baseline gambling attitudes and impulsiveness as well as gambling behavior and gambling disorder (GD) criteria at baseline and follow-up. Results Analyses revealed a four-class solution based on reported motives: ‘primarily fun-motivated gamblers’ (n=100, 58.8%), who gambled mostly for fun; ‘asset and self-gratification seekers’ (n=19, 11.2%) with a high risk of GD at baseline; ‘thrill seekers’ (n=42, 24.7%) with high impulsiveness; and ‘polymotivated coping gamblers’ (n=9, 5.3%) with a higher risk of GD than the ‘primarily fun-motivated gamblers’ in cross-sectional and longitudinal analyses. Conclusions The identified group differences support the validity of the classification. ‘Thrill seekers’ and ‘polymotivated coping gamblers’ correspond to the impulsive and emotionally vulnerable pathways described by Blaszczynski and Nower (2002) respectively. The two other groups appear to be subtypes of the behaviorally conditioned type. Motivation-based classification offers a promising approach to identifying individuals with an elevated risk of GD.

Abstract Background The aims of this study are to examine the one-year trajectory of sleep problems, identify clinical correlates, and describe subjective experiences related to persistent sleep problems during recovery from substance use disorders (SUD). Methods This study builds on a sequential mixed method design. The quantitative component features data from a prospective longitudinal study of 127 poly-SUD patients in the Stavanger area in Norway, while the qualitative component describes a thematic analysis of interviews with 16 persons from this study still experiencing sleep problems after at least one year of abstinence. Results The prevalence of sleep problems at baseline for the whole cohort was 79%. Among the 59 patients who were abstinent after one year, N = 20 (33.9%) had moderate and N = 11 (18.6%) had severe sleep problems. Persistent sleep problems were associated with psychological distress and were experienced as a major challenge in the struggle to stay drug free. Establishing daily routines related to work, school, and care for children were coping strategies for participants with persistent sleep problems. Conclusions Persistent sleep problems are often overlooked in a clinical setting. Based on our findings, these issues pose a major challenge in the struggle to stay drug free. For patients with psychological distress, and lack of responsibilities that established daily routines, sleep difficulties may result in increased risk of drug use episodes that result in relapse. These results argue that screening and evidence-based methods for insomnia and sleep health-programs should be commonplace adjunct intervention for patients with SUDs.

Abstract Contemporary clinical research into the psychotherapeutic administration of psychedelics has primarily emphasized the importance of therapeutic interpersonal interactions to assist clients prepare for and integrate the acute effects of psychedelics. Alternative therapeutic frameworks have encouraged active talk therapy between therapists and clients during the administration phase. We used data gathered from forums to investigate consumer preferences concerning interpersonal interactions during their psychedelic-occasioned experience. Google was used to locate relevant posts on the psychedelic forums The Shroomery and The DMT Nexus. We analyzed these posts using thematic analysis, in which two researchers independently categorized posts in accordance with emergent themes. These themes were then refined through iterative reflexivity. We then identified four themes pertaining to psychedelic consumer interpersonal interaction preferences: nonintrusive; boundary setting; help; and sober sitter or coconsumer. Further analysis revealed parallels between consumer preferences and clinical guidelines for psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy, including the emphasis of carer acceptance; minimal involvement; nondirection; hazard management and emotional stability. However, there was also disparity between consumer preferences and guidelines, specifically concerning desires for consumer agency; for psychedelic consumption alongside other consumers, and for carers who had consumed psychedelics themselves. These findings have clinical implications and thus may aid the development of future guidelines.

Abstract Beliefs about free will and determinism have been shown to associate with and influence behavior. The present study examined the relationship between these beliefs, key social cognitive constructs, and gambling behavior. A cross-sectional design was used with assessments taken of participants’ (N = 316) past gambling behavior; beliefs in free will and determinism; and attitude, perceived behavioral control, and intention toward gambling. Four weeks after survey completion, participants (N = 218) reported their gambling behavior. A MANOVA examined differences between gambling frequency and constructs. Bivariate correlations and regressions were undertaken to understand the relationships between constructs and gambling behavior. Results showed frequent gamblers had significantly greater positive attitudes and intentions toward gambling compared to infrequent gamblers. Infrequent gamblers also had significantly stronger perceived behavioral control and beliefs in free will than frequent gamblers. Free will significantly predicted attitude and perceived behavioral control, and explained additional variance in intention above attitude and perceived behavioral control. There was no effect for determinism. Finally, gambling behavior was explained by intention and perceived behavioral control, but not beliefs in free will and determinism. The study provides evidence for the association between free will beliefs, key social cognitive constructs, and gambling behavior. Future research should confirm the causal role of these relations.

Abstract Gambling disorder is a behavioral addiction with various consequences for those who suffer from it, such as lower quality of life, financial difficulties, psychiatric comorbidities, and increased suicide risk. The objective of this scoping review is to describe the available literature regarding gambling activities and completed suicides and underline future avenues of research on this important subject. We conducted an electronic literature search at the end of July 2021 in the following databases: Academic search complete, CINAHL +, APA Psyc Articles, APA Psyc Extra, Psychology and Behavioral Sciences Collection, Psyc Info, SOC Index, and SCOPUS. The search yielded a total of 1108 articles, of which 613 remained after the removal of duplicates. Upon title and abstract review, 51 articles remained. After full-text reading, a total of 18 articles were included in this review. To be selected, articles had to meet the following criteria: be published in a peer-reviewed journal, be available in English or French, and discuss gambling-related suicides as the main subject. The available literature shows distinct risk factors among suicide decedents with a history of problem gambling and that this population presents an elevated suicide risk. Recognizing and understanding the increased suicide risk in patients with gambling disorder will allow primary care professionals to provide better-adapted care to this population. To better comprehend this phenomenon further studies are required, with larger samples, qualitative or mixed-method designs, and a focus on diverse populations.

Abstract For decades predictors of alcohol use disorder (AUD) relapse have been studied, and around 40 different clinical and demographic relapse determinants have been identified. This paper aims to investigate the relationship of two of these AUD relapse factors, namely craving and meaning in life (MiL). We hypothesized that greater meaning in life would be associated with lower cravings and lower relapse rates. An AUD subsample of 81 patients within a clinical population that participated in ongoing exploratory research on religious/spiritual factors related to substance use disorders was followed up to 1 year. Craving (as measured with the Penn Alcohol Craving Scale) and meaning in life (as measured with the Meaning in Life Questionnaire- presence subscale) measures were assessed at baseline and relapse was assessed at 6- and 12-month follow up. Main effects and the interaction between craving and meaning in life in predicting alcohol relapse (with relapse defined as ‘any alcohol use’ and ≥ 3 consecutive days of drinking) were calculated/subject of analyses. We also investigated the relationship between relapse and alcohol dependence severity as measured with the Leeds Dependence Questionnaire. Baseline craving and dependence severity were related to relapse, but there were no associations between meaning in life and levels of craving or alcohol relapse. Our findings suggest a need for additional research on characterizing the Meaning in Life concept.
