Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book investigates whether or not there is a causal link between personality traits and the development of alcohol abuse. Findings suggest that there is such a link: people who are inclined toward sensation-seeking are likely to consume more alcohol, and those who show high levels of psychotic and/or antisocial behavior are more inclined to have alcohol problems. The authors successfully develop and validate a measure of the Addiction-Prone Personality.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published in 1980, this book presents a detailed account of a series of investigations that examined the patterns of resort to drugs and alcohol use in college youth, and how such substance uses are linked to personality characteristics and daydreaming patterns. The Editors chose to emphasize the more "private" features of the personality, because these had often been ignored in earlier research, despite popular assumptions that there are close ties between fantasy, inwardness, "spacey" qualities (all suggesting permanent changes in mental organization), and substance use in youth. This volume will be of interest to a wider audience than just drug and alcohol researchers, because of the effort to go beyond normative patterns of substance use toward explorations of personality and consciousness.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Alcohol use by young people is extremely dangerous - both to themselves and society at large. Underage alcohol use is associated with traffic fatalities, violence, unsafe sex, suicide, educational failure, and other problem behaviors that diminish the prospects of future success, as well as health risks â€" and the earlier teens start drinking, the greater the danger. Despite these serious concerns, the media continues to make drinking look attractive to youth, and it remains possible and even easy for teenagers to get access to alcohol. Why is this dangerous behavior so pervasive? What can be done to prevent it? What will work and who is responsible for making sure it happens? Reducing Underage Drinking addresses these questions and proposes a new way to combat underage alcohol use. It explores the ways in which may different individuals and groups contribute to the problem and how they can be enlisted to prevent it. Reducing Underage Drinking will serve as both a game plan and a call to arms for anyone with an investment in youth health and safety.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Alcohol misuse presents a major risk for health and well-being throughout the life-span, but youth have a special vulnerability. Alcohol is the most widely used drug by adolescents. For some, this may be one or two isolated occasions of youthful experimentation; for others, the use becomes excessive, placing them in danger of immediate adverse consequences such as accidental injury and alcohol poisoning, or encouraging other high-risk behavior patterns including unprotected sex. Moreover, a pattern of heavy drinking established in adolescence and young adulthood may continue into an adult pattern of alcohol abuse. Concerned communities and institutions across the nation are tackling the problem of alcohol use and abuse by young people. Research-based knowledge is urgently needed to inform these efforts and to ensure that limited prevention resources are used as effectively as possible. The origins of youthful alcohol use and abuse are found within the complex interplay of individual characteristics, family and peer influences, the larger societal context for alcohol use, environmental conditions, and maturational processes that accompany adolescence. This volume, which began as a special issue of the Journal of Research on Adolescence, contains all of the material from the journal issue plus additional chapters. It helps researchers to meet the tremendous challenge of disentangling the key determinants of risk, and developing effective interventions. Primary sources of influence on youthful alcohol use are described, ranging from individual expectancies about alcohol effects and cognitive decision processes to parenting practices, peer influences, social environments, and economic factors; and a corresponding range of prevention interventions is discussed. This book will serve as a primer to those with an interest in developing and improving effective programs and activities to reduce alcohol-related problems among young people. For those engaged in prevention research, the text will provide useful reviews and current findings that should aid in directing future research activities.

This book was released on 2019-08-01 with total page 704 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Adolescent substance abuse is the nation's #1 public health problem. It originates out of a developmental era where experimentation with the world is increasingly taking place, and where major changes in physical self and social relationships are taking place. These changes cannot be understood by any one discipline nor can they be described by focusing only on the behavioral and social problems of this age period, the characteristics of normal development, or the pharmacology and addictive potential of specific drugs. They require knowledge of the brain's systems of reward and control, genetics, psychopharmacology, personality, child development, psychopathology, family dynamics, peer group relationships, culture, social policy, and more. Drawing on the expertise of the leading researchers in this field, this Handbook provides the most comprehensive summarization of current knowledge about adolescent substance abuse. The Handbook is organized into eight sections covering the literature on the developmental context of this life period, the epidemiology of adolescent use and abuse, similarities and differences in use, addictive potential, and consequences of use for different drugs; etiology and course as characterized at different levels of mechanistic analysis ranging from the genetic and neural to the behavioural and social. Two sections cover the clinical ramifications of abuse, and prevention and intervention strategies to most effectively deal with these problems. The Handbook's last section addresses the role of social policy in framing the problem, in addressing it, and explores its potential role in alleviating it.

Download or read book The Efficacy and Mechanisms of Personality-targeted Interventions for Alcohol Misuse and Mental Disorders in Adolescents written by Maeve O'Leary-Barrett and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This thesis includes four studies pertaining to the efficacy and mechanisms of a personality-targeted intervention program for youth alcohol misuse and psychopathology. Study 1 examines the efficacy of the Preventure personality-targeted intervention program on internalising and externalising symptoms in high-risk youth when delivered by educational professionals. Results demonstrate that intervention participants report global reductions in depressive, anxiety and conduct symptoms relative to their control group counterparts, as well as reduced odds of severe depressive symptoms and conduct problems over two years. There is also some evidence for personality-specific intervention effects in youth most at risk for anxiety and conduct disorders. Study 2 explores the relationship between personality, attentional biases and mental disorders in a community adolescent sample. This study provides a preliminary examination of whether attentional biases may be a suitable target for preventive interventions to supplement the Preventure program. Results suggest that attentional biases to emotional faces are not concurrently or prospectively associated with symptoms of mental disorders. Instead, results provide further validation for a personality-targeted approach, as personality traits are associated with concurrent and prospective risk for mental disorders whilst accounting for baseline mental health symptoms. Studies 3 and 4 focus on understanding the mechanisms and process of the Preventure program across two randomised controlled trials. Study 3 explores mediators of two-year intervention effects on alcohol misuse and mental health symptoms. Results suggest that two-year intervention effects on binge drinking and alcohol-related problems are partially mediated by early changes in drinking behaviours. Global improvements in mood during the six months post-intervention were found to partially mediate two-year intervention effects on both internalising and externalising symptoms. The results suggest that early reductions in the growth in alcohol consumption or mental health symptoms may represent proximal markers of longer term intervention efficacy. Lastly, study 4 uses a mixed methods design to elucidate candidate process variables accounting for early indicators of treatment efficacy. The study combines both investigator-driven hypotheses and youth-generated feedback in order to elucidate key intervention features associated with positive behavioural changes. Findings suggest that youth experiences during group personality-targeted intervention sessions can influence the development of their subsequent alcohol-related behaviours (and, in some cases, in mental health symptoms) over twelve months. This study suggests that youth feedback can be used as an early indicator of treatment fidelity and efficacy. Together, these studies contribute to the literature in support of a personality-targeted approach to prevention and demonstrate the utility of process research in informing and refining the intervention approach.
