"Everybody needs to find the best path for them": Insights into recovery strategies of people who have not used specialty treatment for alcohol use disorder.

Background: Most people with alcohol use disorder (AUD) do not use treatment services, yet the majority ultimately resolve their AUD. As the phenomenon of untreated recovery remains poorly understood, we investigated the strategies used for recovery without treatment.

Evidence of telescoping in females across two decades of US treatment admissions for injection drug use: 2000-2020.

Background: People who inject drugs (PWID) have an increased risk of soft tissue infection, drug overdose and death. Females may be particularly vulnerable due to barriers to substance use disorder (SUD) treatment entry, stigma, and telescoping, or the greater severity in substance use-related comorbidity and consequences despite a shorter history of use. We set out to identify sex differences in United States injection drug use (IDU).

Relationship Factors in Internet-Delivered Psychological Interventions for Veterans Experiencing Postpartum Depression: Qualitative Analysis.

Background: Internet-delivered psychological interventions (IPIs) have been shown to be effective for a variety of psychological concerns, including postpartum depression. Human-supported programs produce better adherence and larger effect sizes than unsupported programs; however, what it is about support that affects outcomes is not well understood. Therapeutic alliance is one possibility that has been found to contribute to outcomes; however, the specific mechanism is not well understood.

The validity of hospital diagnostic and procedure codes reflecting morbidity in preterm neonates born <32 weeks gestation.

Objective: To determine the validity of diagnostic hospital billing codes for complications of prematurity in neonates <32 weeks gestation.

Study Design: Retrospective cohort data from discharge summaries and clinical notes (n = 160) were reviewed by trained, blinded abstractors for the presence of intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) grades 3 or 4, periventricular leukomalacia (PVL), necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC), stage 3 or higher, retinopathy of prematurity (ROP), and surgery for NEC or ROP. Data were compared to diagnostic billing codes from the neonatal electronic health record.

Strategies to maintain recovery from alcohol problems during the COVID-19 pandemic: Insights from a mixed-methods national survey of adults in the United States.

The COVID-19 pandemic has been associated with poorer mental health and, in some cases, increased alcohol consumption; however, little is known about the pandemic's effects on people in recovery from alcohol use disorder (AUD), especially how they have coped with novel stressors. Our mixed-methods study investigated strategies used to maintain recovery during the pandemic, with attention to variation by gender. We analyzed data obtained in fall 2020 from an online US national survey of adults with resolved AUD (n = 1,492) recruited from KnowledgePanel, a probability-based cohort of non-institutionalized adults maintained by Ipsos for internet-based research.

College student mental health: Understanding changes in psychological symptoms in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States.

The COVID-19 pandemic has altered the way higher education is structured and delivered, presenting challenges for college students that have the potential to negatively impact mental health. The current study aimed to identify potential changes in college student psychological symptoms since the onset of the pandemic. The study used analyses of covariance to examine differences in perceived stress, depression, anxiety, and obsessive-compulsive symptoms between a sample of university students collected in Fall 2016 and a sample of students from the same university collected in Spring 2020 and Fall 2020 after the onset of the pandemic.
