Psychological Symptoms and Outcomes in Adults Receiving Community-based Treatment for Substance Use Disorders
Background Mental health issues in individuals with substance use disorders are common and can affect treatment outcomes.Objectives Secondary analysis of a multi-center trial of an internet-delivered psychosocial SUD treatment intervention (Therapeutic Education System; TES) to: 1) describe psychological symptoms over time, 2) explore whether treatment assignment was associated with psychological symptoms 3) explore whether psychological symptoms…
Medical Use and Misuse of Prescription Opioids in the US Adult Population
Objectives. To characterize prescription opioid medical users and misusers among US adults. Methods. We used the 2016–2017 National Surveys on Drug Use and Health to compare medical prescription opioid users with misusers without prescriptions, misusers of own prescriptions, and misusers with both types of misuse. Multinomial logistic regressions identified substance use characteristics and mental and physical health characteristics that distingu…
Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation of Medial Prefrontal and Cingulate Cortices Reduces Cocaine Self-Administration
Taken in the context of the existing literature, these results contribute to the data showing that high frequency rTMS to the prefrontal cortex may serve as a potential treatment for CUD
Racial/ethnic subgroup differences in outcomes and acceptability of an Internet-delivered intervention for substance use disorders
The Therapeutic Education System (TES), an Internet version of the Community Reinforcement Approach plus prize-based motivational incentives, is one of few empirically supported technology-based interventions. To date, however, there has not been a study exploring differences in substance use outcomes or acceptability of TES among racial/ethnic subgroups. This study uses data from a multisite (N = 10) effectiveness study of TES to explore whether…
Trends in cigarette consumption and time to first cigarette on awakening from 2002 to 2015 in the USA
Objective The current study estimates trends in the number of cigarettes smoked per day (CPD) and percentage of smokers having their first CPD within 30 min of waking (time to first cigarette (TTFC)<30 min) among smokers from 2002 to 2015 in the USA overall, and adjusting for demographics. Trends in TTFC<30 min were also estimated by varying levels of cigarette consumption. Methods Data were drawn from the National Household Survey on Drug Use, a…
Short-term effects of a brief intervention to reduce alcohol use and sexual risk among homeless young adults
Findings suggest that the BI was acceptable and successful in getting participants to consider changing their drinking. However, lack of change in alcohol and sexual behavior outcomes indicates the need for further research to determine how to translate readiness to change into actual behavioral change among homeless young adults
Recent Internet Use and Associations with Clinical Outcomes among Patients Entering Addiction Treatment Involved in a Web-Delivered Psychosocial Intervention Study
Substance Use Disorders and Poverty as Prospective Predictors of Adult First-Time Suicide Ideation or Attempt in the United States
Racial differences in adherence and response to combined treatment for full and subthreshold post-traumatic stress disorder and alcohol use disorders
We conducted a secondary data analysis to examine whether there were racial differences in adherence and treatment outcomes for participants with co-occurring full and subthreshold post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and alcohol/substance use disorders (A/SUD) who were treated with Seeking Safety (a cognitive-behavioral therapy) and sertraline or Seeking Safety and placebo as part of a clinical trial. Bivarate analyses examined the association …
Intergenerational Patterns of Smoking and Nicotine Dependence Among US Adolescents
Objectives. We examined associations between parental and adolescent smoking and nicotine dependence in the United States. Methods. We used data from the 2004 to 2012 National Survey on Drug Use and Health, which ascertained smoking behaviors of 1 parent and 1 adolescent aged 12 to 17 years in 35 000 dyads. We estimated associations between parental and adolescent smoking behaviors, adjusted for covariates. Results. Parental current dependence wa…
Regularly Drinking Alcohol Before Sexual Activity in a Nationally Representative Sample
Objectives. We addressed regular drinking before sex and its associated risk factors. Methods. From the wave 2 National Epidemiologic Survey on Alcohol and Related Conditions, a nationally representative adult US sample (fielded 2004–2005), we determined the 12-month prevalence of regularly drinking alcohol before sexual activity. Among 17 491 sexually active drinkers, we determined the sociodemographic, psychiatric, and substance use correlates …

Do High Child Support Orders Discourage Child Support Payments
This article examines the relationships among child support orders, child support payments, and the compliance rate (payments compared to orders). It uses administrative data from Wisconsin, examining 3 years of orders and payments by fathers who had their first order for child support to a particular mother in 2000. Using fixed‐effects models that attempt to control for unobserved factors, the authors find that the burden of orders (i.e., the pr…
Adolescents' Inconsistency in Self-Reported Smoking
Extent and sources of inconsistency in self-reported cigarette smoking between self-administered school surveys and household interviews was examined in two longitudinal multiethnic adolescent samples, the urban Transition to Nicotine Dependence in Adolescence (TND) (N = 832) and the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health (Add Health) (N = 4,414). Inconsistency was defined as a positive report of smoking in school followed by a negative…
Epidemiology and Correlates of Daily Smoking and Nicotine Dependence Among Young Adults in the United States
Objectives. We describe the epidemiology of smoking behaviors in a national young adult sample and identify common and unique demographic, social, and psychological correlates of daily smoking and lifetime and current nicotine dependence by race/ethnicity. Methods. Data are from the National Longitudinal Survey of Adolescent Health, wave III. Dependence was measured by the Revised Fagerström Test for Nicotine Dependence. Logistic regressions were…
Racial/Ethnic Differences in Cigarette Smoking Initiation and Progression to Daily Smoking
Objectives. We sought to identify individual and contextual predictors of adolescent smoking initiation and progression to daily smoking by race/ethnicity. Methods. We used data from the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health to estimate the effects of individual (adolescent, family, peer) and contextual (school and state) factors on smoking onset among nonsmokers (n = 5374) and progression to daily smoking among smokers (n = 4474) with…
