2 Develop a Question What is the appropriate evidence-based intervention for treating depression and anxiety with a history of alcohol use? Find the Evidence “Mechanisms of change in female- specific and gender neutral cognitive behavioral therapy for women with alcohol use disorder.” Abstract Objective: In a randomized trial for women with alcohol use disorders (AUD), the efficacy of Female-Specific Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (FS-CBT) was compared with Gender-Neutral CBT (GN-CBT; Epstein et al., 2018). The current study examined whether putative mechanisms of change differed between treatment conditions, using a novel statistical approach. Both treatments were hypothesized to work by increasing use of alcohol-related coping skills (coping) and confidence to abstain from drinking (confidence), but FS-CBT additionally targeted female-salient mechanisms: anxiety, depression, sociography (i.e., overinvestment in others’ opinion of oneself), autonomy, and social networks supportive of abstinence. Method: Ninety-nine women with AUD (55 in GN-CBT, 44 in FS-CBT) completed self- report assessments at baseline and 0-, 6-, and 12-months posttreatment. Multilevel vector autoregression estimation was used to analyze associations between putative mechanisms of change, and network models of those associations were generated using network analysis. Results: Across conditions, higher confidence and coping were directly associated with less drinking; autonomy was directly and indirectly associated with drinking. Additionally, network analysis indicated that although variation in depression was associated with change in other
3 variables specifically for GN-CBT, sociotropy was associated with change specifically in FS- CBT. Conclusions: Women receiving CBT-AUD changed their drinking through increased confidence to abstain and greater use of coping skills. Autonomy played a central role in behavior change across treatment conditions. Participants receiving treatment tailored to women also changed through decreases in sociotropy and increases in social support for abstinence. For women who received standard CBT, changes in depression were important to clinical improvement.

Despite the documented prevalence of this particular “dual diagnosis,” relatively little is known about effective treatment for SUD-PTSD patients. This article reviews empirical research on the course and treatment of SUD-PTSD comorbidity and highlights clinically relevant findings. Based on this review, the following is noted: PTSD is highly prevalent in SUD patients, consistently associated with poorer SUD treatment outcomes, and related to distinct barriers to treatment. Specific treatment practices are recommended for substance abuse treatment providers: (a) All patients should be carefully screened and evaluated for trauma and PTSD; (b) referrals should be provided for concurrent treatment of SUD-PTSD, if available, or for psychological counseling with the recommendation that trauma/PTSD be addressed; and (c) increased intensity of SUD treatment should be offered in conjunction with referrals for family treatment and self- help group participation (Ouimette et al., 1998).
