Effect of menstrual cycle on rewarding properties of alcohol cues in women. Psychology of Addictive Behaviors (IF 3.2) Pub Date : 2023-12-07 Annie K Griffith,Michelle M Martel,Mark T Fillmore
OBJECTIVE Compared with men, women are disproportionately affected by alcohol, including greater risks of behavioral impairment and relapse from abstinence-based treatments. One potential mechanism underlying this disparity is ovarian hormone fluctuations across menstrual cycle phases, particularly estradiol (E2). Preclinical and clinical studies have shown that E2 levels positively correlate with

Retrospective self-reports of sensitivity to the effects of alcohol: Trait-like stability and concomitant changes with alcohol involvement. Psychology of Addictive Behaviors (IF 3.2) Pub Date : 2023-11-30 Casey B Kohen,Kellyn M Spychala,Clintin P Davis-Stober,Thomas M Piasecki,Bruce D Bartholow
OBJECTIVE Lower sensitivity to the acute effects of alcohol is known to confer risk for the development of alcohol use disorder. Alcohol sensitivity, or level of response to alcohol's subjective effects, is heritable but also can change as a result of persistent alcohol exposure (i.e., acquired tolerance). Here, we examined how changes over time in four indices of alcohol involvement affected scores

The development and initial validation of the Trauma-Related Alcohol Use Coping Measure (TRAC). Psychology of Addictive Behaviors (IF 3.2) Pub Date : 2023-11-27 Antoine Lebeaut,Maya Zegel,Lynne Steinberg,Michael J Zvolensky,Anka A Vujanovic
OBJECTIVE Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms and alcohol use commonly co-occur and present a prevalent clinical comorbidity. The self-medication/coping model has been applied most consistently to understand the PTSD-alcohol use association. However, there is a relative paucity of self-report measures designed to assess motivations for alcohol use, specifically for coping with PTSD symptoms
