AI Article Synopsis
- - This paper reviews research on mechanisms of behavioral change in alcohol and other drug (AOD) treatment, focusing on variables that mediate treatment outcomes from 2008 to 2023.
- - The research identified self-efficacy, social support, and craving as the most strongly supported mediators and evaluated various studies that tested these variables in the context of AOD treatment.
- - The findings suggest that these mediators should be integrated into clinical practice, and the paper outlines future research directions to further validate their effectiveness in AOD treatment.
Article Abstract
Research designed to establish alcohol and other drug (AOD) mechanisms of behavioral change (MOBC) has centered on what variables mediate the relation between AOD treatment and outcomes. The purpose of this paper was to review this research evidence to identify empirically supported mediators of alcohol and other drug use and related outcomes and then to evaluate their potential as being AOD treatment MOBC. The first phase was a systematic review of reviews (2008-2023) to identify the variables with the strongest empirical support as mediators of AOD treatment effects. Eligible reviews focused on AOD treatment modalities, included empirically tested mediators, and targeted adult samples. The second phase was a systematic review of empirical studies (1990-2023) testing the hypothesis that variables identified in phase one were AOD treatment mediators/mechanisms and then evaluating each eligible stage two study according to the Kazdin and Nock (Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, 44, 1116) criteria. Eligible articles included empirical studies with adult samples attending AOD treatment and empirically tested one of the three treatment mechanisms as a mediator of an AOD-related outcome. Databases were searched in accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses. This systematic review was not preregistered. The first review of 11 eligible review articles identified self-efficacy, social support, and craving as having the strongest empirical support. The second review captured 48 individual studies. An evaluation of each of these studies by the Kazdin and Nock criteria suggested that they likely are MOBC and therefore are ready for implementation. The implementation of self-efficacy, social support, and craving into clinical practice and training is warranted. Six directions for future research to solidify and generalize empirical support for the case that self-efficacy, social support, and craving are MOBC are presented, as are five implications for clinical practice and training.

Objective: Assessing whether serum Vascular Cell Adhesion Molecule 1(VCAM-1) concentration in the left atrial appendage(LAA) and the expression of VCAM-1 in LAA tissues are associated with the risk of atrial fibrillation-related stroke.
Method: Blood samples were collected from atrial fibrillation(AF) patients scheduled for catheter ablation of AF, both from within the LAA and peripheral veins(PV). The serum concentration of VCAM-1 was quantitatively analyzed using ELISA.

Introduction: Death is the most common outcome of longitudinal atlanto-occipital dissociation (L-AOD). Even though rare, survival is commonly seen in the pediatric population. This study reports a successful outcome of a pediatric patient with an L-AOD without neurodeficits, immobilized in a visor (head-neck-chest) orthosis.

Article Synopsis
- The study examines factors influencing the completion of alcohol and other drug (AOD) treatment, focusing on both demographic and service-level aspects among a large cohort in New South Wales, Australia.
- It found that around 69.8% of participants completed treatment at least once, with differences in completion rates based on the type of substance, treatment modality, and referral source.
- Specifically, amphetamine treatments had the lowest completion rates, while mandated treatments through criminal justice agencies and certain AOD modalities, like involuntary treatments, showed significantly higher completion rates.

Department of Population and Public Health Sciences, Keck School of Medicine of the University of Southern California, Los Angeles, California, USA.
Purpose: Cancer survivors are considered by public health officials as a high-risk group in the United States for severe complications from COVID-19. We aimed to characterize patterns of early uptake of the COVID-19 vaccine among cancer survivors and to determine modifiable barriers to vaccine completion that can be addressed to ensure future booster adherence.
Methods: Cross-sectional data of vaccine uptake by summer 2021 was extracted from adult cancer survivors enrolled in the "All of Us" research program.
