Consistency Between Beliefs and Behavior Regarding Use of Substances in Recovery
This article addresses the assumption that pathways to recovery from substance abuse and dependence, and the language used to define one’s relationship to substances, translate to actual beliefs and behaviors in terms of substance use. We draw on social representation theory and use data from a large web-based study ( N = 9,341) whose goal was to understand how individuals in recovery define what recovery means to them. We often hear people say t…
Multisource Recruitment Strategies for Advancing Addiction Recovery Research Beyond Treated Samples: Multisource Recruiting for Recovery Research
BACKGROUND: The lack of established sampling frames makes reaching individuals in recovery from substance problems difficult. Although general population studies are most generalizable, the low prevalence of individuals in recovery makes this strategy costly and inefficient. Though more efficient, treatment samples are biased. AIMS: To describe multi-source recruitment for capturing participants from heterogeneous pathways to recovery; assess whi…
Does Lack of Multinutrient Supplementation During Early Pregnancy Increase Vulnerability to Alcohol-Related Preterm or Small-for-Gestational-Age Births
The objective of this study was to assess whether women who do not take multinutrient supplements during early pregnancy are more susceptible to the effects of low-to-moderate alcohol consumption on preterm birth and small-for-gestational-age birth (SGA) compared to women who do take multinutrients. This analysis included 800 singleton live births to mothers from a cohort of pregnant women recruited for a population-based cohort study conducted i…
Under-Estimation of Alcohol Consumption among Women At-Risk for Drinking during Pregnancy
This study adds to a growing literature showing that definitions for “standard drinks” are often difficult to conceptualize and that people often underestimate their actual drink sizes. As part of an intervention aimed at reducing negative neonatal and maternal outcomes, insured at-risk women were asked to identify the vessels from which they drank each of six beverages (n=266). We calculated differences between their actual and standard drink si…
The Role of Research in the Development of U.S. Federal Alcohol Control Policy
In the development of federal alcohol control policy, is research used merely to inform policymakers and the public, or to persuade them? Is it critical to the enactment of public policy, or is it an afterthought? To answer these questions, we analyzed in-depth interviews with federal alcohol policy community members, including those of the executive and legislative branches, interest group representatives, advocates, and media professionals. A s…
A Study of the Alcohol Policy Development Process in the United States: Theory, Goals, and Methods
The project identified factors influencing U.S. federal alcohol policy formation and especially the role of research. It explored the applicability of John Kingdon's “Policy Stream” model involving three interacting policy streams: problem recognition, policy alternatives, and politics. Each stream is necessary but insufficient for policy formation, and coupling streams in “windows of opportunity” is a key to moving legislation. Federal alcohol-p…
Division in the Ranks: An Analysis of Alliances and Dissension in the Alcohol Industry and Advocacy Communities
Neither the alcohol industry nor the advocacy community is a monolithic entity. Dominant industry players include beer, wine, and distilled spirits manufacturers, who compete for consumers. The public health advocacy community often competes for state and federal budget allocations against other health issues as well as among themselves. This paper describes the relationships within and between the alcohol industry and the advocacy worlds and exp…
Measuring Social Model in California: How Much has Changed
To examine the prevalence of social model philosophy in programs today and to study ways in which the philosophy may have eroded in recent years, a survey was mailed in 1998 to all state-licensed alcohol and drug residential programs in California (83% response rate). Analysis of the survey (Social Model Philosophy Scale, n=311) also identified specific ways in which social model programs differ from other types of programs such as medical/clinic…
Brief overview of the social model approach
Social Model Programs (SMPs) were developed by non-medical, non-academic practitioners, most of whom were in recovery, and there is little published academic literature on these programs. Little is known in professional circles about Hsocial modelH as a discrete paradigm, and what is known is often confused with other models of treatment/recovery. To clarify just what is referred to in this issue as “social model,” this paper briefly reviews key …
A “day in the life” of residents and staff at one medical model and two social model substance abuse treatment and recovery programs
This paper presents typical interactions and experiences of residents and staff in three substance abuse treatment/recovery programs (two social model, one medical model) that were subjects of in-depth qualitative observation and analysis in the Social Model Process Evaluation. The descriptions, based on observed events, are amalgamations of several different residents and staff members at each program in order to present a seamless “story” of a …
