Abstract:

Comorbidity between Axis I mental disorders and substance use disorders range from 5%--60% (Farrell, 1998; Fowler, 1998). It has been suggested that dually diagnosed patients are inadequately treated for both disorders and that they are problematic from a diagnostic, clinical management and economic perspective. Dual Diagnosis (DD) maybe associated with a number of issues including increased aggression, increased non-compliance with medication (Swartz, 1998), and exacerbated psychopathology (Tomasson, 1997). However, contradictory evidence has also been found (Leon, 1998), which suggests that

Abstract:

Treating people with co-occurring or dual diagnosis disorders requires an integrated treatment approach due to the complex health and social needs of people who suffer from mental illness and drug addiction. An integrated approach is not only necessary but crucial to treat both the drug addiction and mental illness concurrently. The aim of this study is to explore the impact that non- integrated care can have on the number of relapses that dually diagnosed people can have. The study found that there is no correlation between concurrent treatment and the number of relapses that dually diagnosed

The researcher explored the rate of dual diagnosis in the adolescent population by conducting a secondary data analysis of the Canadian Incidence Study of Child Abuse and Neglect (CIS-2003; Trocme et al., 2005).

Abstract:

The accurate evaluation of substance use is a critical component of forensic assessment due to the well-established link between drug use sentencing issues and risk of recidivism. Due to limited resources and chronic time constraints, practitioners typically rely only on self-report measures to assess substance use (SU) patterns. As these measures directly inquire about SU patterns, they remain vulnerable to response distortion. This can lead to ineffective treatment recommendations made to the Court and misuse of resources. The present study investigated the utility of the PAI and SASSI-3

Abstract:

Los trastornos por uso de sustancias (TUS) suponen un problema de salud pública que genera graves consecuencias en las personas que los padecen y en su entorno. Si bien estos trastornos han recibido una considerable atención por parte de las autoridades sanitarias y la comunidad científica, las tasas de prevalencia continúan siendo elevadas y las recaídas un fenómeno común en estos pacientes. Por otra parte, la esquizofrenia (SZ) es uno de los trastornos mentales (TM) con mayor significación clínica y mayor estigma, cuyo abordaje terapéutico continúa siendo complicado. Finalmente la esquizofre

Abstract:

The Alcohol Use Disorder Identification Test (AUDIT) is a brief screening instrument for assessing alcohol use problems among adults. This instrument is widely used and continued evaluation of its psychometric performance is needed. Reliability and validity are the primary psychometric characteristics of interest when evaluating psychological instruments. The focus of the present study is on reliability, which reflects the consistency or repeatability of the scores produced by a given instrument. Using meta-analytic methods, results showed that approximately 65% of previously published studies
