“…Our findings contribute to limited literature inversely linking social support to substance use in marginalized populations ( Averna & Hesselbrock, 2001 ; Brick et al, 2018 ; Buttram, Kurtz, & Surratt, 2013 ), including mixed results ( Spohr, Suzuki, Marshall, Taxman, & Walters, 2016 ). Although 30-day alcohol use and SPS in Sample 1 were significantly correlated in the opposite direction from what was hypothesized, this is not necessarily at odds with previous findings.…”

Introduction Social isolation and alcohol and substance use disorders (ASUD) have been identified as global health risks. Social support is protective against developing ASUD and is associated with beneficial addiction treatment outcomes. Socially stigmatized populations are at higher risk of both social isolation and ASUD, and the link between social support and substance use in these populations has been less researched than in general substance-using populations. We hypothesized that perceived social support, as measured by the Social Provisions Scale (SPS), would have an inverse relationship with frequency of substance use, from subsections of the Addiction Severity Index (ASI) that estimate use over the past 30 days and over an individual's lifetime. Methods Using a cross-sectional design, we conducted secondary correlational analyses with pre-existing data to test our hypothesis in two separate samples made up of socially marginalized populations entering ASUD treatment programs. Sample 1: substance-using male prison inmates ( n = 72, average age = 30.79) and Sample 2: primary methamphetamine-using men who have sex with men ( n = 86, average age = 43.41). Results Significant negative correlations were found between SPS and lifetime use of alcohol, tobacco, and cannabis ( r s − 0.27, −0.39, −0.26; p -values 0.04, 0.001, 0.04, respectively) in Sample 1 and 30-day use of methamphetamine ( r s − 0.28; p -value 0.008) in Sample 2. Discussion Differences in results between the samples (lifetime vs 30-day use) may reflect psychosocial and contextual differences impacting perceived social support. Our findings provide support for an important link between perceived social support and frequency of substance use in socially stigmatized populations.

“…Higher social support is associated with lower alcohol consumption and problems (Groh et al, 2007; Peirce et al, 2000), particularly during stressful periods (Steptoe et al, 1996). Social support is thought to be protective against alcohol use and problematic drinking by providing greater social control and/or buffering the effects of stressful events, and it is also thought to reduce individuals’ likelihood of drinking to cope (Brick et al, 2018; Humphreys et al, 1999). High social support from family, romantic partners, and friends has been shown to be negatively associated with alcohol use problems (Jarnecke & South, 2014).…”

Genetic predispositions play an important role in alcohol use. Understanding the psychosocial mechanisms through which genetic risk unfolds to influence alcohol use outcomes is critical for identifying modifiable targets and developing prevention and intervention efforts. In this study, we examined the role of sensation seeking and social support from family and friends in linking genetic risk to alcohol use. We

“…Findings on the relationship between social support and alcohol use remain equivocal. While some studies among PWH found no association between social support and alcohol use, other studies with PWH have found greater social support to be associated with greater unhealthy drinking [31][32][33][34]. Little is known about the extent to which social support modifies the relationship between IPV and mental health among PWH.…”

Intimate partner violence (IPV) has been associated with poor mental health among people with HIV (PWH) globally. Social support may be a strategy to foster mental health among PWH. Little is known about whether the relationship between IPV and mental health differs by IPV type or level of social support. Interviews were conducted with 426 PWH initiating HIV care in Cameroon. Log binomial regression analyses were used to estimate the association between four types of IPV (controlling behavior and emotional, physical, and sexual IPV) and symptoms of depression or hazardous alcohol use, separately by IPV type and level of social support. Over half (54.8%) of respondents experienced moderate/high levels of controlling behavior, 42.0% experienced emotional IPV, 28.2% experienced physical IPV and 23.7% experienced sexual IPV. Controlling behavior was associated with greater prevalence of depressive symptoms. This relationship did not vary meaningfully by level of social support (low: aPR 2.4 [95% CI 1.2, 4.9]; high: 1.7 [95% CI 1.0, 2.7]). Emotional and physical IPV were associated with greater prevalence of depressive symptoms among those with low social support (emotional IPV: aPR 1.9 [95% CI 1.0, 3.4]; physical IPV: aPR 1.8 [95% CI 1.2, 2.8]), but not among those with high social support (emotional IPV: aPR 1.0 [95% CI 0.7, 1.6]; physical IPV: aPR 1.0 [95% CI 0.6, 1.6]). Controlling behavior, emotional IPV, and physical IPV were associated with a greater prevalence of hazardous alcohol use, with moderately larger effect estimates among those with high compared to low social support. Sexual IPV was not associated with depressive symptoms or hazardous alcohol use. Services to screen and care for people experiencing IPV are urgently needed among PWH in Cameroon. Future research to identify barriers, feasibility, acceptability, and organizational readiness to integrate IPV and mental health services into HIV care settings is needed.
