IntroductionWhen adaptive aspects of humor are cultivated (i.e. to reframe negative events), can be supportive mental health. Humor-based interventions improve health in several clinical populations, but there is minimal research on people with addiction. The goal our study was examine if and how recovery from opioid addition use their daily lives whether perceived as recovery.MethodsQualitative semi-structured interviews were conducted one visit addiction receiving methadone for treatment...
IntroductionHumor can be utilized in adaptive ways (i.e., humor used to reframe negative events) support mental health. Humor-based interventions improve health, but minimal research exists on people with addiction. We sought examine whether and how recovery from opioid addiction utilize their daily lives they perceive it as supportive of recovery.MethodsQualitative semi-structured interviews were conducted one study visit receiving methadone (n = 11). Extant literature a reflexive thematic...
People in remission from substance use disorders (SUDs) have a history of using their own experience (also referred to as “experiential knowledge” or “expertise”) support those seeking SUD remission. In recent years, people with this experiential knowledge are being incorporated into research protocols better guide questions and inform the real-world uptake treatments recovery supports. these contexts, however, expertise addiction rarely speak freely about overlapping perspectives. The aim...
Abstract Time‐varying effect modeling (TVEM), a statistical technique for dynamic patterns of change, presents new opportunities to study biobehavioral health processes. TVEM is particularly useful when applied intensive longitudinal data (ILD) because it permits highly flexible outcomes over continuous time, as well associations between variables and moderation effects. coupled with ILD ideal the addiction. This article provides general overview using TVEM, ILD, better enable addiction...
Objectives Anhedonia can accompany substance use disorders (SUDs); its severity may vary by type, of SUD symptoms, or psychiatric comorbidity. The goal this study was to clarify the contribution each. Methods Data were from participants aged 18 65 years in National Epidemiologic Survey on Alcohol and Related Conditions III (n = 30,999; 51% women), a cross-sectional, nationally representative sample reporting lifetime DSM-5 symptoms anhedonia. We used logistic regression test how anhedonia...
Anhedonia is usually defined as partial or total loss of the capacity for pleasure. People with anhedonia in context major depressive disorder may have an unexpected event-related mood brightening, observable when assessed dynamically (with smartphone-based ecological momentary assessment [EMA]) rather than only statically via questionnaire. We used EMA to monitor and pleasant events 4 weeks 54 people being treated opioid agonist medication opioid-use (OUD), which also associated anhedonia,...
Ecological momentary assessments (EMA) are ideal for capturing the dynamic nature of young adult substance use behavior in daily life and identifying contextual risk factors that signal higher-risk episodes. These methods could provide a to trigger real-time intervention delivery. Study compliance engagement common barriers participation but may be improved by personalizing messages. This study compares outcomes between one group adults receiving standard (generic) prompts at each assessment...
In intensive longitudinal studies using ecological momentary assessment, mood is typically assessed by repeatedly obtaining ratings for a large set of adjectives. Summarizing and analyzing these data can be problematic because the reliability factor structure such measures have rarely been evaluated in this context, which-unlike cross-sectional studies-captures between- within-person processes. Our study examined how (obtained thrice daily 8 weeks; n = 306, person moments 39,321)...
Abstract Objective Evidence suggests that blunted reward responsiveness may account for poor clinical outcomes in both opioid use disorder (OUD) and chronic pain. Understanding how individuals with OUD comorbid pain (OUD+CP) respond to rewards is, therefore, of interest because it reveal a potential point behavioral intervention. Methods Patients (n = 28) OUD+CP 19) on agonist treatment were compared on: 1) the Probabilistic Reward Task (an objective measure response bias) 2) ecological...
Employment and improved quality of life (QOL) are, separately, valued outcomes substance use disorder (SUD) treatment. It is also important to understand QOL changes caused by employment itself; therefore, we assessed during a randomized trial contingency-management-based Therapeutic Workplace for people with opioid disorder.For 12 weeks, participants (n = 61) responded questionnaires in mobile web app accessed study-issued smartphones. At enrollment, were work the immediately (immediate...
Background The landscape of substance use behavior among young adults has observed rapid changes over time. Intensive longitudinal designs are ideal for examining and intervening in real time but rely on high participant compliance the study protocol, representing a significant challenge researchers. Objective This aimed to evaluate effect including personalized data dashboard (DD) text-based survey prompt outcomes college students participating 21-day ecological momentary assessment (EMA)...
