This case study presents some factors involved in modulating the behaviors of a drug using adolescent. Therefore, the adolescent’s and a family member’s levels of self-efficacy and hope were assessed, whereas both received a brief intervention for adolescent drug use with parent sessions. The adolescent’s drug use and motivation were also investigated. The main results indicate that the adolescent showed less motivation at follow-up concerning actions, although his ambivalence and his awareness regarding drug use problems increased. The adolescent lapsed back to tobacco use, albeit presented a structured routine at 14 months after the posttest. Based on the results, when considering the importance to improve positive aspects in adolescence, in order to do so, their caretakers should also be supported.

Abstract Objectives: evaluate changes in the use of psychoactive substances (PAS) throughout pregnancy. Methods: longitudinal study, with pregnant women users of PAS at a prenatal follow-up. Results: 76 pregnant women used: tobacco (84.2%, n=64), alcohol (73.7%, n=56), cocaine (27.6%, n=21), marijuana (26.3%, n=20) and crack (13.1%, n=10). Spontaneous interruption had occurred in 60% (n=6) of crack users, 57.1% (n=12) of cocaine and 50% (n=28) of alcohol. After the Brief Intervention, 78.9% (15 of the total of 19) of alcohol users and 70% (7 of the total of 10) of marijuana users discontinued the consumption and there was a reduction in smoking cigarettes. Conclusions: the spontaneous reduction in the consumption of PAS and after the interventions, pregnancy is a window of opportunity to reduce the use of drugs.

Abstract There is emerging evidence for association of polypharmacy with incident frailty. We performed a longitudinal study within the Health and Retirement Study (HRS) to address whether self-reported prescription drug use for pain and/or sleep (co-use or single use for pain or for sleep) influences incident frailty. We utilized data from the 2006–2014 waves of core and family member exit files in HRS to assign self-reported prescription drug use and sociodemographic and other drug use behavior variables as covariates and construct a Burden Model of frailty (≥ 0.2 ratio of positive/total indicators). We performed unadjusted and adjusted competing risk hazard model analysis with death as a competing risk. In a sample of 7,201 unique non-frail (at baseline) individuals (mean[SD] age 72[6.5] years, 54% female, 85% White, 12% African American, 7.3% Hispanic), prevalences of co-use and single-drug use for pain or for sleep were 2.2%, 14.9%, and 5.6%, respectively. Of 7,201 respondents, 2,723 (37.8%) became frail over the follow-up period and 713 (9.9%) died in non-frail state. The adjusted competing risk hazard model suggest that co-use and single use for pain or for sleep were associated with an increase in the risk of frailty by 92%, 58%, and 31%, respectively (p < .001), with statistically significant differences between all risk strata. Adjustment for baseline frailty score and selected chronic disease resulted in modest reductions in effect size with retention of significance. Validation of these initial findings should be undertaken with provider and pharmacy data to identify drug-, dosage-, and duration-specific risks.

This case report describes the positive outcome of a therapeutic intervention that integrated an intensive, residential component with follow-up telepractice for a 21 year old male who stutters. This therapy utilized an eclectic approach to intensive therapy in conjunction with a 12-month follow-up via video telepractice. The results indicated that the client benefited from the program as demonstrated by a reduction in percent stuttered syllables, a reduction in stuttering severity, and a change in attitudes and feelings related to stuttering and speaking.
