“…This measure was used to assess the quantity and frequency of drinking in the 30 days prior to the experiment. Consistent with previous outcome studies (eg Project MATCH Research Group, 1998;Monti et al, 2001;Killeen et al, 2004), the primary outcome variables were drinks per drinking day, total number of drinks, and percent days abstinent.…”

Previous studies have indicated that olanzapine decreases craving after a priming dose of alcohol, that craving after a priming dose of alcohol is greater among individuals with the seven-repeat allele of the DRD4 variable number of tandem repeats (VNTR) polymorphism, and that the effect of olanzapine (a D2/D4 antagonist) is more pronounced among individuals with this allele. The present study tested the hypothesis that olanzapine may be differentially effective at reducing cue-elicited craving and differentially effective as a treatment for alcohol dependence over the course of a 12-week, randomized, placebo-controlled trial among individuals with and without the seven-repeat allele. Participants who met DSM IV criteria for alcohol dependence were randomly assigned to receive olanzapine (5 mg) or a placebo over the course of the trial. After 2 weeks of treatment, participants completed a cue reactivity assessment. The results suggested that participants who were homozygous or heterozygous for the seven (or longer)-repeat allele of the DRD4 VNTR responded to olanzapine with reductions in cue-elicited craving as well as reductions in alcohol consumption over the course of the 12-week trial, whereas individuals with the shorter alleles did not respond favorably to olanzapine.

“…However, the NCS-A has not been linked with health care utilization databases, but instead provides self-reported information on service utilization for mental disorders based on a wellestablished instrument [13,33]. In adults, concordance between self-reported health care and mental health care utilization and registration data has been shown to be fair [57,58,59], and the rather low magnitude of bias in estimates of health care utilization due to non-response in health surveys has previously encouraged the continued use of interview health surveys [60]. A study on the reliability of children's and adolescents' responses on the Child and Adolescent Services Assessment, the groundwork of the Service Assessment for Children and Adolescents [33], revealed that reports of lifetime service use were as reliable as were reports of service use in the preceding three months, even though it should be acknowledged that respondents reported inpatient, other overnight and juvenile justice services more reliably than outpatient and school services [61].…”

Background: School mental health services are important contact points for children and adolescents with mental disorders, but their ability to provide comprehensive treatment is limited. The main objective was to estimate in mentally disordered adolescents of a nationally representative United States cohort the role of school mental health services as guide to mental health care in different out-of-school service sectors.

“…The self-report of receipt of advice about drinking is comparable to documented advice in medical records and is used as a standard to evaluate the receipt of brief intervention in confidential surveys, 22,27 and healthcare visits and specialty treatment utilization can be recalled with good accuracy. 48,49 Alcohol problems may have only occurred after participants' healthcare visits. The heavy episodic drinking measure corresponds well to the daily drinking limits set by the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism, 1 but weekly drinking limits were not assessed.…”

Alcohol Screening and Intervention Among United States Adults who Attend Ambulatory Healthcare

BACKGROUND: There is limited data on the extent to which indicated alcohol interventions are delivered in U.S. ambulatory care settings. OBJECTIVE: To assess the receipt of alcohol-related services, including assessment of use, advice to reduce drinking, and information about alcohol treatment, during ambulatory care visits. DESIGN: Secondary data analysis of the 2013 National Survey on Drug Use and Health, a cross-sectional, nationally representative survey of civilians in the non-institutionalized U.S. general population (response rate 71.7 %). PARTICIPANTS: Adult ambulatory care users in the public use data file who did not obtain emergency or inpatient services (n = 17,266). MAIN MEASURES: Measurements included respondents' alcohol consumption, heavy episodic drinking, alcohol use disorder, healthcare use, and receipt of alcoholrelated interventions. KEY RESULTS: Approximately 71.1 % of ambulatory care users received an alcohol assessment. Among pastmonth heavy episodic drinkers without an alcohol use disorder who reported receiving an alcohol assessment, 4.4 % were advised to cut back. Among individuals with alcohol abuse and alcohol dependence who reported receiving an alcohol assessment, 2.9 % and 7.0 %, respectively, were offered information about treatment. CONCLUSIONS: Rates of alcohol screening and assessment were relatively high among adults who attended healthcare visits, but rates of intervention were low, even when individuals were assessed for use. Efforts are needed to expand delivery of interventions when patients are identified as positive for risky drinking, hazardous alcohol use, and alcohol use disorders during ambulatory care visits.
