Culturally centering alcohol use assessments: Insight from indigenous adults with lived and living experience
Objectives: There are high rates of both alcohol abstinence and hazardous drinking among American Indian and Alaska Native (AI/AN) communities compared with non-Hispanic Whites. Few measures exist that examine alcohol use consequences within a relevant historical and cultural context for Indigenous populations, hindering the ability of communities, researchers, and practitioners to effectively address alcohol misuse. In the present study, we disc…
Percentage of Heavy Drinking Days Following Psilocybin-Assisted Psychotherapy vs Placebo in the Treatment of Adult Patients With Alcohol Use Disorder: A Randomized Clinical Trial
The Validity of the Short Inventory of Problems and Drinking Intensity among Urban American Indian Adults
BACKGROUND: American Indian (AI) adults have both high prevalence rates of alcohol abstinence and alcohol use disorders compared to non-Hispanic White adults. We investigated the applicability and validity of the Short Inventory of Problems (SIP) among AI urban adults and the moderating effect of biological sex. METHODS: = 124) provided baseline, 3-, 6- and 9-month data. Measures included Form 90 and the SIP, which includes 5 domains of alcohol-r…
Aligning three substance use disorder interventions among a tribe in the Southwest United States: Pilot feasibility for cultural re-centering, dissemination, and implementation
In this article we describe cultural re-centering, dissemination, and implementation activities in partnership between an American Indian reservation community and a university in the Southwest United States. We offer examples of cultural adaptation and implementation of evidence-based treatments (e.g., Motivational Interviewing, Community Reinforcement Approach and the Community Reinforcement and Family Training) using the Interactive Systems Fr…

Spirituality as a Change Mechanism in 12-Step Programs: A Replication, Extension, and Refinement
This National Institutes of Health funded study investigated spiritual growth as a change mechanism in 12-step programs. A total of 130 people, early 12-step affiliates with limited Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) histories, were recruited from 2007 to 2008 from AA, treatment, and community centers in a Southwestern city in the United States. A majority of the sample was alcohol dependent. Participants were interviewed at baseline and at 3, 6, and 9 mo…
Revisiting the Cost-Effectiveness of the Combine Study for Alcohol Dependent Patients: The Patient Perspective
OBJECTIVE: Most cost and cost-effectiveness studies of substance abuse treatments focus on the costs to the provider/payer. Although this perspective is important, the costs incurred by patients should also be considered when evaluating treatment. This article presents estimates of patients' costs associated with the Combined Pharmacotherapies and Behavioral Interventions (COMBINE) alcohol treatments and evaluates the treatments' cost-effectivene…
Response of Native American Clients to Three Treatment Methods for Alcohol Dependence
These findings suggest a differentially better response to MET than to TSF or to CBT among Native Americans with alcohol dependence. Although this is, to date, the largest randomized trial of treatments for alcohol dependence in Native Americans, the findings require replication
Brief interventions for alcohol problems: A review
Relatively brief interventions have consistently been found to be effective in reducing alcohol consumption or achieving treatment referral of problem drinkers. To date, the literature includes at least a dozen randomized trials of brief referral or retention procedures, and 32 controlled studies of brief interventions targeting drinking behavior, enrolling over 6000 problem drinkers in both health care and treatment settings across 14 nations. T…
