Triggers for cocaine and alcohol use in the presence and absence of posttraumatic stress disorder

Abstract

The present study compared high-risk triggers and substance use situations among 72 (34 men, 38 women) individuals with alcohol (AD) or cocaine dependence (CD), with or without comorbid PTSD. Consistent with the self-medication hypothesis, individuals with PTSD reported significantly greater use of substances in response to negative situations, such as unpleasant emotions and physical discomfort, as compared to individuals without PTSD. CD individuals were significantly more likely than AD individuals to report using in temptation situations, regardless of PTSD status. Also, CD individuals with PTSD reported greater use of cocaine during pleasant times with others, as compared to those without PTSD. The findings highlight the importance of addressing individual-specific high-risk situations in relapse prevention.

  • The finding of less substance use is in line with a previous local study of coping responses of emergency room staff but contrary to previous studies that noted increased substance use in individuals facing stress.

    “The less use of substance in our study is in line with a previous local study of coping responses of staff within an emergency room setting [32] but is contrary to the findings of some previous studies [44], [45], which had noted increased substance use in individuals facing stress.”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
