Addressing negative affect in substance use relapse prevention
This review includes 15 studies, evaluating evidence of the effectiveness of interventions addressing negative affect in substance use relapse prevention. A unitary construct of “negative affect” was inadequate for reconciling conflicting findings. Instead, affect variables were divided by temporal range, model of affect, and discreteness of measurement. Results strongly support (1) cognitive behavioral therapy’s effectiveness for changing tonic …
A review of the effectiveness of military suicide prevention programs in reducing rates of military suicides
The suicide rate within the U.S. armed forces remains a pressing issue for the country. This comprehensive literature review found only five published studies on military suicide prevention programs and their outcomes. Substantial research design and methodological issues are noted, and only one study produces statistically significant results. Findings reveal a serious lack of empirical evidence demonstrating effective suicide prevention program…
Sexual addiction
This article reviewed the available studies of treatments for individuals suffering from sexual addiction. Sexual addiction may affect as many as 3–5% of all Americans and can result in dire consequences for those affected. Because the existence of sexual addiction remains controversial, this problem has been understudied. A search of five databases for peer-reviewed studies revealed a dearth of empirical studies on targeted treatments for sexual…
Cyberbullying
The focus of this literature review examines interventions for 12–18-year-old adolescents experiencing depressive symptoms as a consequence of cyberbullying. Findings reveal a positive correlation between cyberbullying and depressive symptomology, but only a few interventions treat this problem. This review reinforces the urgent need for the creation of additional evidence-based intervention programs
Basics, ACT, mindfulness, and BMI
This literature review focuses on the use of Brief Alcohol Screening and Intervention for College Students (BASICS), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Mindfulness, and Brief Motivational Interventions (BMI) during individual evidence-based therapeutic interventions with college students engaging in high-risk drinking. A review of family history, drinking motives, and the collegiate environment is also examined for empirical and theoretical…

Preliminary Outcomes of a Model Program for Increasing Treatment Access for African American Women Who Use Crack Cocaine and Are at Risk for Contracting HIV
In the United States, the threat of HIV/AIDS to African American women's health has become the focus of much concern. This paper describes a federally funded community-based program that provides services to African American women at risk for HIV/AIDS in Nashville, Tennessee. The program provides a culturally relevant set of interventions specific to crack cocaine users aimed at reducing substance use and HIV/AIDS risk behaviors. The model is imp…
Improving Access to Substance Abuse Treatment Services for Consumers with Aids
This paper presents the findings of a formative evaluation used to guide the implementation of programming funded by an HIV/Treatment Capacity Expansion grant received from Substance Abuse and Mental Health Administration. Data were gathered from programmatic records regarding access to treatment, individual interviews with persons with HIV referred to treatment that did not attend, and interviews with persons with HIV currently receiving substan…
The Experiences of African American Male Commercial Sex Workers At-Risk for HIV
Due to the lack of education and the stigma attached to HIV testing, African American men are less likely to seek outreach services; therefore they are often unaware of their HIV status. Stigmatization of homosexuality in communities of color may also influence the availability of HIV/AIDS education and services; compounded with the fact that access to appropriate health care may be limited in these communities. While infection rates among Africa…
Racial Differences in Retention in Residential Substance Abuse Treatment
Purpose: This study employed a static group comparison design with 106 men in residential treatment to examine the relationship of race to treatment retention. Methods: A retrospective analysis of retention, by race, including survival analysis, was undertaken. Results: Findings from the study indicated that (a) Caucasian men complete treatment more frequently than African American men, (b) Race was not predictive of time in treatment, and (c) th…
