Sexual minority (LGBQ+) women’s experiences of accessing addiction services
Introduction: Lesbian, gay, bisexual, queer and other non-heterosexual (sexual minority) women experience significant health inequities in comparison with heterosexual women. Both drug and alcohol use, and addiction to drugs and alcohol, are more prevalent for this group. They may also be more likely to underutilise addiction healthcare services in comparison to sexual minority men. Aims: We aimed to understand sexual minority women's experiences…
A mixed-methods evaluation of the development and implementation of a high-quality alcohol assertive outreach treatment service
Background: Alcohol Assertive Outreach Treatment (AAOT) is an evidence-based model of care for people with alcohol dependence and complex comorbidities. Fidelity to the high-quality model may improve health outcomes yet information is lacking regarding optimal implementation. This study aimed to evaluate the implementation of a new high-quality AAOT service. Method: Mixed-methods design comprising quantitative analysis of AAOT service-user data (…
Treatment Engagement and Healthcare Utilization Outcomes from a Mixed Methods Study of the Implementation of Alcohol Assertive Outreach in the North West of England
Background Alcohol Assertive Outreach Treatment (AAOT) is designed to support individuals with alcohol use disorder who have complex needs that hinder successful engagement with specialist addiction treatment services, leading to greater unplanned healthcare utilization and mortality.Methods A convergent mixed-methods study to examine healthcare utilization, contextual factors, and engagement predictors among service users under AAOT. This includ…
Between fidelity and sustainability
Background There is a gap between the model of Alcohol Assertive Outreach Treatment (AAOT) and its implementation. This study compared the implementation of AAOT in a high-fidelity service and a medium-fidelity service in the North West of England, with a focus on differences in healthcare utilization change and exploring stakeholder views on the fidelity and sustainability of each service’s adaptation of AAOT.Methods A multistage mixed-methods d…
Inequity in clinical research access for service users presenting comorbidity within alcohol treatment settings
A combination of individual, organisational and structural barriers, exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic, and the socioeconomic landscape in which the study was conducted further contributed to the unequal access of under-served groups to clinical research participation. For patients with comorbid alcohol use disorder and alcohol-related liver disease, limited access to research further contributes towards a gap in effective evidence-based treat…
Brief interventions to prevent excessive alcohol use in adolescents at low-risk presenting to Emergency Departments
While drinking levels remained low in this population, this trial found no evidence that PFBA with or without eBI was more effective than screening alone in reducing or delaying alcohol consumption
Assertive outreach treatment versus care as usual for the treatment of high-need, high-cost alcohol related frequent attenders
International standard randomized controlled trial number (ISRCTN) registry: ISRCTN67000214, retrospectively registered 26/11/2016
Predictive Validity, Diagnostic Accuracy and Test-Retest Reliability of the Strength of Urges to Drink (Sutd) Scale
This study compared the 1-item Strength of Urges to Drink (SUTD) scale with the 10-item Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test (AUDIT) on (i) test-retest reliability, (ii) predictive validity, and (iii) diagnostic accuracy. Data come from 2960 participants taking part in the Alcohol Toolkit Study (ATS), a monthly population survey of adults in England. The long-term test-retest reliability of the SUTD was 'fair', but lower than that for the AU…
Attitudes and Learning through Practice Are Key to Delivering Brief Interventions for Heavy Drinking in Primary Health Care
In this paper, we test path models that study the interrelations between primary health care provider attitudes towards working with drinkers, their screening and brief advice activity, and their receipt of training and support and financial reimbursement. Study participants were 756 primary health care providers from 120 primary health care units (PHCUs) in different locations throughout Catalonia, England, The Netherlands, Poland, and Sweden. O…

Are recent attempts to quit smoking associated with reduced drinking in England? A cross-sectional population survey
Smokers who report starting a quit attempt in the last week also report lower alcohol consumption, including less frequent binge drinking, and appear more likely to report currently attempting to reduce their alcohol consumption compared with smokers who do not report a quit attempt in the last week
Linked randomised controlled trials of face-to-face and electronic brief intervention methods to prevent alcohol related harm in young people aged 14–17 years presenting to Emergency Departments (Sips…

Protocol for a national monthly survey of alcohol use in England with 6-month follow-up
The Alcohol Toolkit Study will improve understanding of population level factors influencing alcohol consumption and be an important resource for policy evaluation and planning
