A retrospective, cross-sectional survey using life history calendars documented lifetime marital and childbearing histories of 4876 men and 5742 women aged 15-59 in 2016-18. The clinically validated, ...
Being never married increased the odds of having the opportunity to drink for men (OR=1.30, 95% CI=1.14 - 1.48, p < 0.001) and women (OR=1.24, 95% CI=1.08 - 1.43, p = 0.003) compared to being married....
We found associations between marital transitions and AUD that are consistent with findings worldwide. In this setting of near universal childbearing, the transition into fatherhood increased the odds...

Subjective response to alcohol's stimulating and sedating effects is a person-level risk factor for heavy drinking and alcohol use disorder. Longitudinal and laboratory studies have demonstrated that ...
113 adults (54 with borderline personality disorder and 59 community participants; 77.9% female) completed ecological momentary assessment for 21 days, reporting momentary subjective stimulation and s...
GLMMs demonstrated that greater day-level stimulation (OR=1.48, 95% CI=[1.20, 1.82], p<.001), greater person-level stimulation (OR=1.63, 95% CI=[1.05, 2.53], p=.031), and lower momentary sedation (OR=...
Although greater stimulation and lower sedation have been conceptualized as individual-level risk factors for heavy drinking, our findings suggest that these associations are accompanied by processes ...

To investigate the relationship between self-stigma about alcohol dependence and the severity of alcohol consumption and craving....
In a sample of 64 participants, the majority of whom had a diagnosis of AUD (51), bivariate correlations were first conducted between Self-Stigma and Alcohol Dependence Scale (SSAD-Apply subscale) sco...
SSAD scores positively correlated with AUDIT scores, average drinks per drinking day, number of heavy drinking days and OCDS scores (p<0.001, p=0.014, p=0.011 and p<0.001, respectively). SSAD scores w...
Higher levels of self-stigma were associated with more severe AUD, greater alcohol consumption, and more obsessive thoughts and compulsive behaviours related to alcohol....
Our results suggest that potential interventions to reduce self-stigma may lead to improved quality of life and treatment outcomes for individuals with AUD....
