Background: Little is known about the smoking cessation and smoking relapse behavior of adults with alcohol use disorders (AUDs) and drug use disorders (DUDs).
Objective: The current study used longitudinal data from a representative sample of the US adult population to examine changes in smoking over 3 years for men and women with and without AUD and DUD diagnoses.
Methods: Participants were current or former daily cigarette smokers at Wave 1 of the National Epidemiologic Survey on Alcohol and Related Conditions who completed the Wave 2 assessment 3 years later (n = 11,973; 46% female). Analyses examined the main and gender-specific effects of AUD and DUD diagnoses on smoking cessation and smoking relapse.
Results: Wave 1 current daily smokers with a current AUD (OR = .70, 95% CI = .55, .89), past AUD (OR = .73, 95% CI = .60, .89), current DUD (OR = .48, 95% CI = .31, .76), and past DUD (OR = .62, 95% CI = .49, .79) were less likely to have quit smoking at Wave 2 than those with no AUD or DUD diagnosis. Wave 1 former daily smokers with a current AUD (OR = 2.26, 95% CI = 1.36, 3.73), current DUD (OR = 7.97, 95% CI = 2.51, 25.34), and past DUD (OR = 2.69, 95% CI = 1.84, 3.95) were more likely to have relapsed to smoking at Wave 2 than those with no AUD or DUD diagnosis. The gender by diagnosis interactions were not significant.
Conclusion: Current and past AUDs and DUDs were associated with a decreased likelihood of quitting smoking, while current AUDs, current DUDs, and past DUDs were associated with an increased likelihood of smoking relapse.

Posttraumatic stress disorder and its cross-generational familial relationship with drug use disorder and alcohol use disorder: an extended Swedish adoption study.

Information on how parental risk for posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) relates to their children's risk for drug use disorder (DUD) and alcohol use disorder (AUD) is limited. This study is the first to utilize an extended adoption design which can address questions about the degree of, and sources of, cross-generational and cross-disorder transmission of PTSD and substance use disorders. We examined diagnoses using Swedish National registries for parents and their adult offspring ( = 2,194,171, born 1960-1992) from six types of families (intact (1), not lived with biological father (2) or mother (3), step father (4), step mother (5), and adoptive (6)).

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the relationship between age at onset (AAO) of psychiatric disorders and genetic heterogeneity using Family Genetic Risk Scores (FGRS).
- Researchers focused on five disorders: drug use disorder, alcohol use disorder, major depression, bipolar disorder, and schizophrenia, analyzing individuals born in Sweden between 1940-2003.
- Results showed that as AAO increased, schizophrenia displayed increased genetic risk, while major depression became more genetically homogenous, highlighting significant inter-disorder differences in how AAO affects genetic risks.

Objective: This study investigated the prevalence of probable alcohol use disorder (AUD), drug use disorders (DUDs), and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) among psychology doctoral students. Additionally, it explored the unique relationships between risk factors (lifetime trauma, recent stressful experiences, COVID-19-related stress, general stress, financial stress) and AUD, DUD, and PTSD while accounting for demographic factors.
Method: The sample included 889 clinical and counseling psychology doctoral students, and the Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test, Screen of Drug Use, and Primary Care PTSD Screen for (5th ed.
The number of episodes of major psychiatric and substance use disorders as an index of genetic risk and genetic heterogeneity.
Mol Psychiatry

We investigate whether number of episodes (NoEs) meaningfully reflect genetic risk and genetic heterogeneity for five primary disorders-Drug Use Disorder (DUD), Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD), Major Depression (MD), Bipolar Disorder (BD), and Schizophrenia (SZ) ascertained from Swedish population registries. We utilize Genetic Risk Ratios (GRR)-defined as the ratio of the genetic risk for secondary disorders to the genetic risk for the primary disorder-derived from Family Genetic Risk Scores (FGRS). For all five primary disorders, genetic risk rose robustly with increasing NoEs.
