Aims
To investigate whether reduction in opioid use differs when treated by either buprenorphine–naloxone (BUP) or methadone (MET) among adults with comorbid opioid use disorder (OUD) and mental disorders.
Design, Setting and Participants
In a randomized controlled trial, adults with OUD were randomized to 24 weeks of either BUP or MET treatment and were followed up in 3‐yearly assessments. The...
Background and Aims
Alcohol use disorder (AUD) is associated with increased risk of non‐fatal suicide attempt. We aimed to measure the strength and mechanistic nature of the association between AUD and increased suicide attempt and determine any causal pathways and/or shared risk factors.
Design
We used Cox proportional hazards models in population‐level and co‐relative analyses to evaluate the...
Background and aim
No large‐scale, longitudinal clinical study has examined whether patients with different types of eating disorders (ED) have an increased risk of a subsequent alcohol use disorder (AUD). This study aimed to assess the ongoing risk of receiving a diagnosis of AUD following a first‐time diagnosis of anorexia nervosa (AN), bulimia nervosa (BN), or unspecified ED (USED).
Design
Retrospective...
Background and Aims
Cannabis use is increasing among women of reproductive age, warranting a greater understanding of the impact of prenatal cannabis use on offspring developmental outcomes. We tested for a potential relationship between prenatal cannabis use disorders (CUD) and offspring educational outcomes across primary and secondary school.
Design
Data were drawn from the New South Wales (NSW)...
Background and Aims
Research has shown that alcohol use and common mental disorders (CMDs) co‐occur; however, little is known about how the global prevalence of alcohol use compares across different CMDs. We aimed to (i) report global associations of alcohol use (alcohol use disorder (AUD), binge drinking and consumption) comparing those with and without a CMD, (ii) examine how this differed among...
Background and Aims
The pathways model is a highly cited etiological model of problem gambling. In the past two decades, a number of studies have found support for the model's utility in classifying gambling subtypes. The aims of this paper were to refine empirically the model subtypes and to revise and update the model based on those findings.
Design and Measurement
Observational study using data...
Background and Aims
People with substance use disorders (SUDs) frequently present to treatment with polysubstance use and mental health comorbidities. Different combinations of substance use and mental health problems require different treatment approaches. Our study aimed to: (i) identify the shared substance use classes among young people at treatment admission, (ii) determine which mental health...
