Article Synopsis
- The study investigates how caregivers perceive children's experiences of harm and violence due to others' drinking in nine societies, exploring connections to household drinking patterns and caregiver characteristics like gender and education.
- Data from the GENAHTO project reveals that 4% of caregivers report children facing alcohol-related injuries or violence (CAIV), with the presence of heavy or harmful drinkers correlating strongly with these harms across all countries studied.
- Findings show that while both genders report similar CAIV levels, the impact of heavy drinkers is more pronounced for women, and caregiver education does not significantly affect CAIV reports.
Purpose: We examined the efficacy of adding short-term psychodynamic psychotherapy (STPP) to antidepressants in the treatment of depression by means of a systematic review and meta-analysis of individual participant data, which is currently considered the most reliable method for evidence synthesis.
Results: A thorough systematic literature search resulted in 7 studies comparing combined treatment of antidepressants and STPP versus antidepressant mono-therapy (n = 3) or versus antidepressants and brief supportive psychotherapy (n = 4). Individual participant data were obtained for all these studies and totaled 482 participants.
Aims: Survey data from 10 diverse countries were used to analyse the social location of harms from others' drinking: which segments of the population are more likely to be adversely affected by such harm, and how does this differ between societies?
Methods: General-population surveys in Australia, Chile, India, Laos, New Zealand, Nigeria, Sri Lanka, Thailand, United States and Vietnam, with a primary focus on the social location of the harmed person by gender, age groups, rural/urban residence and drinking status. Harms from known drinkers were analysed separately from harms from strangers.
Results: In all sites, risky or moderate drinkers were more likely than abstainers to report harm from the drinking of known drinkers, with risky drinkers the most likely to report harm.
