The Cross

Adverse and advantageous childhood experiences (ACEs and counter-ACEs) during adolescence are understudied. This study examined how childhood experiences affect youth tobacco/alcohol use. Participants included 489 U.S. adolescents (baseline 10–13 years; 51% female) from the first five waves of the Flourishing Families Project. Results of the cross-lagged model showed ACEs were predictive of early tobacco use only. Counter-ACEs in wave two and wave three predicted, respectively, decreased tobacco and decreased alcohol use in the following wave. Counter-ACEs were also correlated with reduced alcohol and tobacco use in later waves. These findings indicate the salience of counter-ACEs over ACEs in persistent and late adolescent substance use, though ACEs may be important to consider to prevent very early initiation of tobacco.

The multiple risk factors for alcohol use (AU) and alcohol use disorders (AUDs) are interrelated through poorly understood pathways, many of which begin in childhood. In this report, the authors seek to develop an empirical, broad-based developmental model for the etiology of AU and AUDs in men. We assessed 15 risk factors in four developmental tiers in 1,794 adult male twins from the Virginia population based twin registry. The best fitting model explained 39% of the variance in late adolescent AU, and 30% of the liability to lifetime symptoms of AUD. AU and AUDs can be best understood as arising from the action and interaction of two pathways reflecting externalizing genetic/temperamental and familial/social factors. Peer group deviance was important in each pathway. Internalizing symptoms played a more minor role. Familial/social factors were especially important influences on AU, while genetic/temperamental factors were more critical for AUDs. We conclude that AU and AUDs in men are complex traits influenced by genetic, family, temperamental, and social factors, acting and interacting over developmental time.

Alcohol Reduction

BACKGROUND Unhealthy alcohol use is associated with increased morbidity and mortality among persons with HIV and/or TB. Computer-Based interventions (CBI) can reduce unhealthy alcohol use, are scalable, and may improve outcomes among patients with HIV or TB. OBJECTIVE We assessed the acceptability, adaptability, and feasibility of a novel CBI for alcohol reduction in HIV and TB clinical settings in Pune, India. METHODS We conducted 10 in-depth interviews (IDIs) with persons with alcohol use disorder (AUD); [TB (n=6), HIV (n=2), HIV-TB co-infected (n=1) selected using convenience sampling method, No HIV or TB disease (n=1)], one focus group (FG) with members of alcoholics anonymous (AA) (n=12, and two FGs with health care providers (HCPs) of a tertiary care hospital (n=22). All participants reviewed and provided feedback on a CBI for AUD delivered by a 3-D virtual counselor. Qualitative data were analyzed using structured framework analysis. RESULTS Majority (n=9) of IDI respondents were male with median age 42 (IQR; 38-45) years. AA FG participants were all male (n=12) and HCPs FG participants were predominantly female (n=15). Feedback was organized into 3 domains: 1) Virtual counselor acceptability; 2) Intervention adaptability; and 3) feasibility of CBI intervention in clinic settings. Overall IDI participants found the virtual counselor to be acceptable and felt comfortable honestly answering alcohol-related questions. All FG participants preferred a human virtual counselor to an animal virtual counselor so as to potentially increase CBI engagement. Additionally, interaction with a live human counselor would further enhance the program’s effectiveness by providing more flexible interaction. HCP FGs noted the importance of adding information on the effects of alcohol on HIV and TB outcomes because patients were not viewed as appreciating these linkages. For local adaptation, more information on types of alcoholic drinks, additional drinking triggers, motivators and activities to substitute for drinking alcohol were suggested by all FG participants. Intervention duration (~20 minutes) and pace were deemed appropriate. HCPs reported that CBI provides systematic, standardized counseling. All FG and IDI reported that CBI could be implemented in Indian clinical settings with assistance from HIV or TB program staff. CONCLUSIONS With cultural tailoring to patients with HIV and TB in Indian clinical care settings, a virtual counselor-delivered alcohol intervention is acceptable, appears feasible to implement, particularly if coupled with person-delivered counseling.

A review of recent, pertinent literature was conducted on the extent and nature of alcohol-related behavior among Hispanic adolescents. Problems related to the available literature included a lack of differentiation of major Hispanic subgroups, small and non-random samples and an over-emphasis on illicit drugs which tended to divert attention from drinking behavior. Onset and prevalence data indicated patterns of use somewhat similar to the general population. Most interesting, however, was the pattern of poly-substance abuse which develops early in adolescence and persists into the late adolescent years among both Hispanics and other youths. Further, problems related to alcohol use are evident among Hispanic youths. The literature indicated some relationship between alcohol use and family and peer factors.
