Objetivo: identificar o perfil dos usuários de álcool atendidos em um CAPS- ad, bem como caracterizar segundo variáveis sociodemográficas e econômicas, o consumo de álcool e o grau de dependência dos usuários. Métodos: Pesquisa descritiva qualitativa. Utilizou-se o instrumento para caracterização do perfil do usuário e o Short Alcohol Dependence Data (SADD). Resultados: Predomínio do sexo masculino, ensino médio completo e renda entre um a dois salários mínimos. A adesão dos pacientes foi considerada baixa.  41,66% iniciaram o consumo de bebidas com 10 ao 15 anos, e 58,33 consomem álcool diariamente. Conclusão: Há uma baixa efetividade na assistência aos usuários do CAPS ad embora haja o acolhimento aos pacientes. Contudo para que o tratamento seja de fato concretizado há a necessidade de que equipe disponha de estratégias para melhorar o vínculo com os pacientes e assegurar a continuidade do tratamento.Palavras-chave: Alcoolismo.

Methods: Form of the user profile characterization and a questionnaire called SADD (Short Alcohol Dependence Data). Results: Prevalence of males with high school diplomas and income between one and two minimum salaries. Adherence of patients was considered low. 41.66% said they have started the consumption of beverages in the age group of 10-15 years and that their daily frequency of alcohol consumption (58.33%). Conclusion: There is a low effectiveness in assisting users of CAPS ad although there is the receptiveness of the patients. Yet for the treatment to be actually realized there is a need for staff available strategies to improve the relationship with patients and ensure continuity of care.Keywords: Alcoholism.

This study examined the relationship between two sets of variables, symptoms of depression and health behaviors of adolescents. Analysis using canonical correlation produced two significant canonical variates. Results suggest that addressing symptoms of negative mental health in adolescents may be an important step toward facilitating positive health behaviors in this age group.

The Relationship

This article reports on the introduction of sessions on mental health, mental illness and stress management into the personal and social education programme of a lower sixth form. The mental health component aimed at giving a short historical perspective, insights into early psychological development and into the relationship between life events and vulnerability to mental illness, and information on the structure of the National Health Service and the voluntary sector with emphasis on the patient as consumer. The stress management part sought to offer strategies for coping with the changes arising characteristically in the 17–21 age group, namely autonomy, experimentation, setting one's own goals and dealing with one's own problems and disappointments. Questionnaires were used to record changes in knowledge and attitudes before and after the course, and the students also evaluated the effectiveness of the way in which the talks were delivered. Throughout the sessions, the importance of prevention, where possible, was highlighted.

AimsThe aim is to tap into user experience in the UK and to analyse what lessons can be learnt from those who have recovered from alcohol dependence to help those who are struggling including to inform the delivery of alcohol services.MethodThe study was conducted in London, UK. 20 males in the age group 30–45 years were recruited. 10 of these participants had recovered from alcohol dependence and the other 10 were in treatment for alcohol dependency and diagnosed as dependent according to ICD-10 or DSM 5 criteria. In the former group, each participant had at least 2 years of complete sobriety. A semi structured questionnaire was developed and used to interview all the subjects.Males 30-45 years were eligible as alcohol dependence is more common in this age group and purposive sampling drove the selection (i.e. if early analysis suggests the importance of a particular factor, subjects likely not to show that factor would be sampled for comparison).Grounded analysis was the qualitative analysis method of choice and constant comparison was used, i.e., data were collected and analysed concurrently.ResultThe main “families” that arose grouped around relationships in both the recovered alcoholics (RA) and continued alcoholics (CA). A successful shift required a change in the relationship to self, from feeling empty or critical towards acceptance and this shift was facilitated by being accepted and respected by others.Relationship as motivator to stop drinking24% people had the insight to self-refer to voluntary organisations such as AA but 76% did so because of fear of losing either their relationship or their job.Although 80% of recovered alcoholics had been ambivalent about coming off alcohol, the shift happened when they had a nurturing relationship elsewhere such as a key worker at the Alcoholics Anonymous.Insight and PerceptionAwareness of alcohol as an obstacle rather than a solution was key for change to occur. Although 75% people with insight into their difficulties were more successful in maintaining sobriety, insight alone without action was insufficient. Moreover, action was possible without insight. Fear of death alone was a sufficient motivator.ConclusionDifference between support systemsAs a result of comparing those patients with alcohol dependence who responded well to treatment compared to those who were very recalcitrant to treatment important characteristics of an effective service have been identified. It was clear that the quality of services offered to those with alcohol dependence who attended A&E departments could be improved by offering more time for the initial assessments and adopting a more individualistic approach for each patient.Training sessions to the A&E staff about the differences required in management between those with alcohol dependence who are motivated to abstain compared to those who will only be able to reduce consumption should be offered rather than mere blanket exhortations to abstain from alcohol consumption. The importance of behavioural avoidance of situations where alcohol is excessively consumed is more helpful in terms of eventual outcome.The A&E staff should be encouraged to employ individuals from Alcoholics Anonymous in their department as early involvement with AA improves engagement and outcome can greatly improve engagement with treatment programs subsequently and lead to significantly better outcomes.

Abstract. Background: Previous research has demonstrated an association between alcohol-related problems and suicidal ideation (SI). Aims: The present study evaluated, simultaneously, alcohol consequences and symptoms of alcohol dependence as predictors of SI after adjusting for depressive symptoms and alcohol consumption. Method: A sample of 298 Alaskan undergraduates completed survey measures, including the Young Adult Alcohol Consequences Questionnaire, the Short Alcohol Dependence Data Questionnaire, and the Beck Depression Inventory – II. The association between alcohol problems and SI status was evaluated using sequential logistic regression. Results: Symptoms of alcohol dependence (OR = 1.88, p < .05), but not alcohol-related consequences (OR = 1.01, p = .95), emerged as an independent predictor of SI status above and beyond depressive symptoms (OR = 2.39, p < .001) and alcohol consumption (OR = 1.08, p = .39). Conclusion: Alcohol dependence symptoms represented a unique risk for SI relative to alcohol-related consequences and alcohol consumption. Future research should examine the causal mechanism behind the relationship between alcohol dependence and suicidality among university students. Assessing the presence of dependence symptoms may improve the accuracy of identifying students at risk of SI.
