A new paper by a team led by Victoria Manning found that the SMART recovery program led to better management of their AOD use, as well as better health, wellbeing, and sense of connection with others. Michael Savic Ari Roxburgh + rdcu.be/dlwh8

New paper from a team led by @AnnettePeart has found that the BreakThrough peer-led group program is an effective support for family members who have a loved one experiencing addiction. Dan Lubman Victoria Manning @DEPPJournal + tinyurl.com/4m6eyjzk

A must read paper if you're recruiting online research participants eg. via social media ads. An excellent illustration using an alcohol app RCT & helpful strategies to ensure we get real participants. Thanks Gemma Loebenberg, Claire Garnett M Field jmir.org/2023/1/e46523/…

Researchers at Monash University are trialling a new “brain-training” app for people who are trying to reduce their alcohol consumption. People aged 18+ years who wish to reduce their alcohol use are invited to take part in this study. Find out more: ow.ly/66fN50QAW5J

📢 Pleased to announce our ECR keynotes for the 3rd Association for Bias Modification (ACBM) Annual Conference in London! 🚨📅 Less than 2 weeks left to submit abstracts for the conference. More information & registration link here: acbm-association.org/london-confere…

(1/5) Turning Point has quite a few trials and surveys *active* right now, so here is quick summary thread in case you missed any of them. ⬇️📝 Please read on & share within your networks - it'd be greatly appreciated. 🙏 #research #researchtrial #researchstudy #survey

Great to see this paper on an alcohol CBM Implementation trial in multiple German rehabs, with more evidence for its short-term effectiveness (at 3 months). Next research question-can a post-discharge CBM app extend training and its longer-term benefits?pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38503273/

The number of people seeking treatment for #alcohol dependence has increased by 50% since the start of the pandemic whilst industry profits have soared. The pending Victorian budget should ensure that drug treatment agencies have capacity to support people in need. #springst

Today's announcement will be traumatic for many. It is difficult to countenance the rejection of a CBD MSIR headlining a series of otherwise positive announcements. While we support a strategy, we will continue unwavering advocacy for the MSIR #springst vaada.org.au/vaada-press-re…

Everyone deserves access to health care that is underpinned by compassionate and evidence-informed approaches. That’s why I’m disappointed by today’s announcement. Supervised injecting services are effective health-led initiatives that save lives & keep people safe.

If you could use plug-in to block online alcohol-related content on your computer, would you use it? 🍻 @capraustralia researchers have found large support for an intervention tool that could help people manage their exposure—and reduce tempation. brnw.ch/21wJz5a

Thanks Antonio Verdejo-García for driving this. Through collaboration & sharing programs/protocols - we CAN make it happen! Time to get established interventions like CBM and cognitive remediation beyond the research sphere & available to those in treatment who stand to benefit.
