The alcohol use disorder treatment gap and its correlates among middle‐aged and older adults
Predictors of Long‐Term Alcohol Use Disorder Treatment Receipt Among Middle‐Aged and Older Adults With Problematic Alcohol Use
Excess mortality among individuals who have undergone addiction treatment
In Greenland, where addiction-related concerns significantly affect well-being, research has explored alcohol's impact on health and mortality. However, no studies have focused on mortality among those who received addiction treatment. This study investigates whether individuals treated for addiction in Greenland experience elevated mortality rates compared to the general population. The study encompassed individuals receiving addiction treatment…
Potential factors affecting the impact of community reinforcement and family training. Secondary analysis of an RCT
CRAFT has a higher impact on the likelihood for treatment seeking, if the CSOs inform the IP about his or her own help seeking in order to change the situation. The underlying mechanism behind this is needs further investigations
Effects of media campaign videos on stigma and attitudes towards treatment seeking for alcohol use disorder
Videos can have an immediate effect on level of public stigma. Other types of interventions are needed to increase motivation and reduce self-stigma. To avoid adverse effects in future interventions, the use of theoretical frameworks and stakeholder involvement is emphasized

The campaign is unique from an international perspective and aims to increase treatment-seeking. Similar interventions have, up until now, not been scientifically evaluated.Aim: To investigate campaign awareness, understanding, attitudes, and information-seeking pre- and post the campaign peri…
Can Rehabilitation in Nature Improve Self-Perceived Interpersonal Problems? A Matched-Control Study
Self-perceived interpersonal problems are of central concern for researchers and individuals; they are at the basis of psychopathology and cause for subjective distress. In this study, we examine whether a group-based rehabilitation program in nature may reduce self-perceived interpersonal problems in a heterogeneous group of men declining participation in traditional rehabilitation offers. The intervention consisted of weekly meetings in nature,…
The Wildman Programme—Rehabilitation and Reconnection with Nature for Men with Mental or Physical Health Problems—A Matched-Control Study
Men with health problems refuse to participate in rehabilitation programmes and drop out of healthcare offerings more often than women. Therefore, a nature-based rehabilitation programme was tailored specific to men with mental health problems, and long-term illnesses. The rehabilitation programme combines the use of nature, body, mind, and community spirit (NBMC) and is called the ‘Wildman Programme’. The presented study was designed as a matche…
DSM-5 Latent Classes of Alcohol Users among Treatment Seeking Older Adults
Objective: Understanding the variation of alcohol use disorder (AUD) among a clinical sample of patients aged 60 and older, by identifying latent classes of AUD and exploring risk factors and outcomes of treatment associated with the class. Method: We used the Danish subsample (n = 341) from the Elderly Study. Latent class analysis was used to identify classes based on the 11 symptoms of DSM-5 AUD. We analyzed the associations between class membe…
