Background and aims
Culturally relevant and feasible interventions are needed to address limited professional resources in sub‐Saharan Africa for behaviorally treating the dual epidemics of HIV and alcohol use disorder. This study tested the efficacy of a cognitive–behavioral therapy (CBT) intervention to reduce alcohol use among HIV‐infected outpatients in Eldoret, Kenya.

Randomized clinical...
Background and Aims
Recovery from alcohol use disorder (AUD) is often narrowly defined by abstinence from alcohol and improvements in functioning (e.g. mental health, social functioning, employment). This study used latent profile analysis to examine variability in recovery outcomes, defined by alcohol use, alcohol‐related problems and psychosocial functioning at 3 years following treatment. Secondary...
Background and aims
There is evidence that low‐risk drinking is possible during the course of alcohol treatment and can be maintained following treatment. Our aim was to identify characteristics associated with low‐risk drinking during treatment in a large sample of individuals as they received treatment for alcohol dependence.
Design
Integrated analysis of data from the Combined Pharmacotherapies...
Background and aims
There is inconsistent evidence that alcohol‐specific coping is a mechanism of change in cognitive–behavioral therapy (CBT) for alcohol use disorder (AUD). Our primary aim was to test whether baseline dependence severity moderates the mediational effect of CBT on drinking outcomes via coping.

AimsTo test the association between pain and heavy drinking lapses during and following treatment for alcohol use disorders (AUD).
DesignSecondary data analysis of data from two clinical trials for AUD.
Setting and participantsParticipants included 1383 individuals from the Combined Pharmacotherapies and Behavioral Interventions (COMBINE) Study in the United States [69.0% male, 76.8% non‐Hispanic...
Aims Compared to DSM‐IV nicotine dependence, proposed DSM‐5 nicotine use disorder (NUD) would lower the threshold from three to two symptoms, and increase the number of criteria used for diagnosis from seven to 11. The impact of the proposed changes on nicotine disorder prevalence and the concurrent validity of diagnostic criteria were examined.
Design Cross‐sectional survey to compare DSM‐IV and...
Aims Dual epidemics of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and alcohol use disorders, and a dearth of professional resources for behavioral treatment in sub‐Saharan Africa, suggest the need for development of culturally relevant and feasible interventions. The purpose of this study was to test the preliminary efficacy of a culturally adapted six‐session gender‐stratified group cognitive–behavioral...
Aims College students who violate alcohol policies are often mandated to participate in alcohol‐related interventions. This study investigated (i) whether such interventions reduced drinking beyond the sanction alone, (ii) whether a brief motivational intervention (BMI) was more efficacious than two computer‐delivered interventions (CDIs) and (iii) whether intervention response differed by gender...
