“…The most significant predictor was the number of previous detoxifications, which is an intuitive and influential outcome predictor [19,20]. The baseline DSM-IV-TR diagnosis of Alcohol Dependence Disorder slightly increased the risk of relapse, though it should be recognized that almost all patients were alcohol-dependent.…”

“…To date, more than 30 baseline variables have been identified and clustered into sociodemographic, alcohol-related and clinical domains [19,20]. Some studies have reported that certain variables that are commonly used as primary outcomes may have predictive value, including baseline alcohol consumption [21][22][23][24], dependence severity [24][25][26][27] and history of previous treatment or intervention [23,[28][29][30].…”

“…Moreover, clients who have experienced sexual exploitation may feel that the gender of the therapist is of particular importance. Adamson et al [71] discovered that despite high rates of sexual abuse among the substance abusing population and its significance in predicting onset of substance use disorder, it has been rarely in focus of outcome studies in substance abuse treatment field. A more precise analysis of the treatment process would entail the use of qualitative methods in treatment outcome research, maybe together with quantitative methods.…”

Most Finnish substance abuse therapists are women, while the majority of clients are men. This study explores the gender-based differences in the therapeutic alliance, retention in therapy and outcomes between female therapists (N = 30) and their clients (N = 296, women 101, men 195) in outpatient treatment. Female clients were more likely to want a female therapist, whereas men did not express such preferences. The clients' estimation of the therapeutic alliance differed at the first visit: female clients estimated it to be better than did men. The therapists' estimations were not connected to client's gender. The combination of a female therapist and a female client predicted a better therapeutic alliance during treatment, but there were no differences between male and female clients in long-term outcomes. The findings suggested that clients received treatment of the same quality regardless of their gender.

“…However, there has been no research exploring whether ED consumers are more or less motivated to change their alcohol use (motivation for change being a predictor of reductions in alcohol use; Adamson et al, 2009). As ED consumers are typically more risky, and experience greater negative consequences (Arria et al, 2010;Arria et al, 2011;Malinauskas et al, 2007), we anticipated findings indicating that heavier ED consumers would be less likely to report motivation to change alcohol use.…”

Highlights 74,864 people who use drugs participated in the online Global Drug Survey 2014  Energy drink, caffeine tablet and spray use was reported by 69.2%, 24.5% and 4.9%  Greater energy drink use frequency was associated with drug use  Greater use frequency was associated with hazardous drinking and poorer wellbeing 2 AbstractObjective: The study aims were to identify: i.) energy drink (ED), caffeine tablet, and caffeine intranasal spray use amongst a sample who report drug use, and ii.) the association between ED use frequency and demographic profile, drug use, hazardous drinking, and wellbeing.Method: Participants (n=74,864) who reported drug use completed the online 2014 Global Drug Survey. They provided data on demographics, ED use, and alcohol and drug use, completed the Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test (AUDIT) and Personal Wellbeing Index (PWI), and reported whether they wished to reduce alcohol use.Results: Lifetime ED, caffeine tablet and intranasal caffeine spray use was reported by 69.2%, 24.5% and 4.9%. Median age of ED initiation was 16 years. For those aged 16 to 37, median years using EDs increased from 4 to 17 years of consumption, where it declined thereafter. Greater ED use frequency was associated with: being male; under 21 years of age; studying; and past year caffeine tablet/intranasal spray, tobacco, cannabis, amphetamine, MDMA, and cocaine use. Past year, infrequent (1-4 days) and frequent (≥5 days) past month ED consumers reported higher AUDIT scores and lower PWI scores than lifetime abstainers; past month consumers were less likely to report a desire to reduce alcohol use.Conclusions: ED use is part of a complex interplay of drug use, alcohol problems, and poorer personal wellbeing, and ED use frequency may be a flag for current/future problems.Prospective research is required exploring where ED use fits within the trajectory of other alcohol and drug use.
