Cost-effectiveness of individual versus group female-specific cognitive behavioral therapy for alcohol use disorder
2019, Journal of Substance Abuse TreatmentCitation Excerpt :The current study is a prospective economic analysis of individual versus group CBT designed specifically for women with AUDs. Development of female-specific treatment is supported by substantial gender differences in the development and course of AUDs (Epstein et al., 2018; Epstein & Menges, 2013; Mann et al., 2005; Nolen-Hoeksema, 2004; Roerecke & Rehm, 2013) as well as drinking trajectory and response to treatment (Abulseoud et al., 2013; Schneider, Kviz, Isola, & Filstead, 1995; Zweig, McCrady, & Epstein, 2009). Evidence suggests that women tend to remain in and experience more positive outcomes from treatment targeted specifically to their needs (Ashley, Marsden, & Brady, 2003), and among women with AUDs, social support may be an important mechanism of change (McCrady, Epstein, Cook, Jensen, & Hildebrandt, 2009).
Comparison of demographic and clinical characteristics between opioid-dependent individuals admitted to a community-based treatment setting and those enrolled in a research-based treatment setting
2007, Journal of Substance Abuse TreatmentCitation Excerpt :This practice may have inadvertently reduced the number of female admissions. Prior research had shown that women are more likely than men to report psychologic distress and problems (Brown, Alterman, Rutherford, Cacciola, & Zaballero, 1993; Dansky, Byrne, & Brady, 1999; Davis & DiNitto, 1996; Grella & Joshi, 1999; McLellan et al., 1992; Schneider, Kviz, Isola, & Filstead, 1995); this may have led to a higher rate of exclusion of women versus men during the screening process. Interestingly, the two samples were otherwise similar in demographic characteristics, a finding that is inconsistent with earlier reports (Carroll et al., 1994, 1999).
