Abstract

This article reports on a study of 64 female substance abusers in residential treatment for chemical dependency. This study was conducted with the purpose of describing the associations between: (a) demographic characteristics, (b) presence and severity of addiction, (c) depression, and (d) self-esteem. All participants were drawn from inpatient females, and were administered questionnaires that included the following instruments: (a) Screening/Intake Assessment, (b) the Michigan Alcohol Screening Test, (c) the Addiction Presence and Severity Index, (d) the Provision of Social Relations Scale, (e) the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale, and (f) the Costello-Comrey Depression Scale. Multivariate analyses revealed that levels of self-esteem were related to detoxification status and social support. Depression levels were associated with social support, and severity of addiction was more pronounced for White clients than Black clients in this study. Implications for program development are discussed.

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Perceived social support acts as a shield against recurrence and relapse by increasing psychological health.

    “Perceived social support acts as a shield against the recurrence and relapse by increasing the psychological health (19).”

    From The Role of Family Expressed Emotion and Perceived Social Support in Predicting Addiction Relapse (2015) · cites this paper as [19]

    The Results report that women who perceived more social support had higher self-esteem and less depression. The Discussion says an intervention would need to be tested to determine whether increasing support reduces addiction severity or depression. The paper does not establish that support prevents recurrence or relapse, or that improved psychological health is the mechanism. (LLM, conf=0.88)

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.
