Internal consistency analyses indicated acceptable internal reliability (Self-Reflection a = 0.73, Self-Certainty a = 0.72, composite a = 0.75). Self-Certainty scores were significantly higher for participants with a self-reported psychotic disorder (M = 14.95 vs. M = 13.04, P = 0.007). Self-Reflection scores were higher for people experiencing psychological distress (M = 17.57 vs. M = 15.95, P = 0.001). Discussion and Conclusions: We found that a 12-item version of the BCIS had good psychometric properties in this substance-using population. Further research is needed to explore whether insight can predict treatment outcomes for substance use.]]> Tue 03 Aug 2021 18:14:35 AEST ]]> Cognitive insight, medication adherence and methamphetamine cessation in people enrolled in a pharmacotherapy trial for methamphetamine use https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:38081 Tue 03 Aug 2021 18:14:34 AEST ]]> With a little help from my friends: cognitive-behavioral skill utilization, social networks, and psychological distress in SMART Recovery group attendees https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:38071 Tue 03 Aug 2021 13:27:46 AEST ]]> SMART recovery for youth: a small, exploratory qualitative study examining the potential of a mutual-aid, peer support addictive behaviour change program for young people https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:52752 Thu 26 Oct 2023 09:18:46 AEDT ]]> 'The lesser of two evils': a qualitative study of staff and client experiences and beliefs about addressing tobacco in addiction treatment settings https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:23998 Thu 24 Mar 2022 11:29:33 AEDT ]]> 'Quitlink': Outcomes of a randomised controlled trial of peer researcher facilitated referral to a tailored quitline tobacco treatment for people receiving mental health services https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:54905 Thu 21 Mar 2024 11:56:02 AEDT ]]> Telephone-delivered psychosocial interventions targeting key health priorities in adults with a psychotic disorder: systematic review https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:35335 Thu 17 Mar 2022 14:34:32 AEDT ]]> The Client Satisfaction Questionnaire-8: psychometric properties in a cross-sectional survey of people attending residential substance abuse treatment https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:36063 Thu 17 Mar 2022 14:34:15 AEDT ]]> Polysubstance use in treatment seekers who inject amphetamine: drug use profiles, injecting practices and quality of life https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:32783 Low-polydrug (n = 491), (2) Opiates-polydrug (n = 123), and (3) Alcohol-polydrug (n = 213). There was a trend for the Low-polydrug class to demonstrate better functioning and safer injecting practices than the Opiates-polydrug and Alcohol-polydrug classes. Conclusion: The results suggest that the majority of people accessing treatment who inject amphetamine as their primary drug of choice have a low probability of heroin or other opiate use. It is important that future research consider whether traditional harm minimisation strategies are appropriate for people who primarily inject amphetamine.]]> Thu 17 Feb 2022 09:25:00 AEDT ]]> The use of Australian SMART Recovery groups by people who use methamphetamine: Analysis of routinely-collected nationwide data https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:48877 Thu 13 Apr 2023 09:59:59 AEST ]]> Predictors of consent and engagement to participate in telephone delivered continuing care following specialist residential alcohol and other drug treatment https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:49312 Thu 11 May 2023 14:39:06 AEST ]]> Exploration of sedentary behavior in residential substance abuse populations: results from an intervention study https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:24924 Thu 09 Dec 2021 11:01:55 AEDT ]]> Feasibility of a mobile health app for routine outcome monitoring and feedback in SMART recovery mutual support groups: Stage 1 mixed methods pilot study https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:52248 Thu 05 Oct 2023 14:00:13 AEDT ]]> An exploration of smoking among people attending residential substance abuse treatment: prevalence and outcomes at three months post-discharge https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:30971 Thu 04 Nov 2021 10:38:59 AEDT ]]> Predicting Intention to Use Nicotine Replacement Therapy in People Attending Residential Treatment for Substance Dependence https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:41239 Sat 30 Jul 2022 12:19:24 AEST ]]> 'Do more, smoke less!' harm reduction in action for smokers with mental health/substance use problems who cannot or will not quit https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:14139 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:24:52 AEDT ]]> Prevalence of smoking and other health risk factors in people attending residential substance abuse treatment https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:13819 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:22:46 AEDT ]]> The dual diagnosis capability of residential addiction treatment centres: priorities and confidence to improve capability following a review process https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:12736 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:16:52 AEDT ]]> Caring for someone with depression: attitudes and clinical practices of Australian mental health workers https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:19504 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:02:21 AEDT ]]> Online SMART Recovery mutual support groups: Characteristics and experience of adults seeking treatment for methamphetamine compared to those seeking treatment for other addictive behaviours https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:50642 Mon 31 Jul 2023 17:09:46 AEST ]]> Better health choices: feasability and preliminary effectiveness of a peer delivered healthy lifestyle intervention in a community mental health setting https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:38937 SD = 2.6; out of 8-sessions). Seventeen participants (77%) completed at least half of the sessions, and nine participants (40%) completed all eight sessions. Participant satisfaction was high, with all participants followed up rating the quality of the service they received as 'good' or 'excellent'. When compared to the Control Condition, people in the Treatment Condition demonstrated greater treatment effects on smoking and leisure screen time. There was only a negligible effect on servings of fruit and vegetable. Conclusions: Results were promising regarding the feasibility of peer-workers delivering BHC. Good retention rates and high consumer satisfaction ratings in the Treatment Condition demonstrated that peer-workers were capable of delivering the intervention to the extent that consumers found it beneficial. The current results suggest that a sufficiently powered, peer delivered randomised controlled trial of BHC is warranted.]]> Mon 29 Jan 2024 18:03:28 AEDT ]]> A potential role for N-acetylcysteine in the management of methamphetamine dependence (commentary) https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:27031 Mon 23 Sep 2019 12:39:49 AEST ]]> From both sides: participant and facilitator perceptions of SMART Recovery groups https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:32785 Mon 23 Jul 2018 15:51:16 AEST ]]> Clinical and demographic characteristics of people who smoke versus inject crystalline methamphetamine in Australia: Findings from a pharmacotherapy trial https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:49563 0.05).

Discussion and Conclusions: Smoking crystalline methamphetamine is associated with a younger less marginalised demographic profile than injecting methamphetamine, but a similarly severe clinical profile.]]> Mon 22 May 2023 09:20:09 AEST ]]> Healthy recovery: a pilot study of a smoking and other health behavior change intervention for people attending residential alcohol and other substance dependence treatment https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:48494 n = 50) and participants in the control group completed an online depression program (n = 27). The study examined the health outcomes of participants (i.e., smoking, physical activity, fruit and vegetable intake, and symptom distress) and the feasibility of running the group sessions within the residential facilities. Results: Within-treatment effects demonstrated medium to large positive effects for reductions in smoking and increases in physical activity, servings of fruit, and servings of vegetables for people completing Healthy Recovery. When compared to the control condition, there were medium effects in favor of the Healthy Recovery condition for reductions in smoking and increases in physical activity. There was a small effect for servings of fruit and no effect for servings of vegetables. Conclusions: Results from this study demonstrated that people attending residential substance dependence treatment are willing and capable of engaging in multiple health behavior change interventions.]]> Mon 20 Mar 2023 12:29:21 AEDT ]]> Healthy recovery: a stepped wedge cluster randomised controlled trial of a healthy lifestyle intervention for people attending residential alcohol and other drug treatment https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:46239 Mon 14 Nov 2022 13:07:50 AEDT ]]> Evaluating an Aboriginal community controlled residential alcohol and other drug services: Use of benchmarking to examine within treatment changes in wellbeing https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:47974 Mon 13 Feb 2023 16:19:53 AEDT ]]> Feasibility and preliminary results of a call centre delivered continuing care intervention following residential alcohol and other drug treatment https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:51587 Mon 11 Sep 2023 15:18:01 AEST ]]> The relationship between patient-centered care and outcomes in specialist drug and alcohol treatment: a systematic literature review https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:44164 Mon 10 Oct 2022 09:59:33 AEDT ]]> Quality of life of individuals seeking treatment at specialist non-government alcohol and other drug treatment services: A latent class analysis https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:41261 Mon 01 Aug 2022 09:21:36 AEST ]]> Reducing loneliness among people with substance use disorders: Feasibility of 'Groups for Belonging' https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:46548 Fri 25 Nov 2022 11:26:25 AEDT ]]> The benefits and challenges of virtual SMART recovery mutual-help groups: Participant and facilitator perspectives. https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:51937 Fri 22 Sep 2023 13:12:50 AEST ]]> Loneliness among people with substance use problems: a narrative systematic review https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:40044 Fri 22 Jul 2022 13:20:33 AEST ]]> Health literacy and healthcare service utilisation in the 12-months prior to entry into residential alcohol and other drug treatment https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:47446 Fri 20 Jan 2023 14:15:24 AEDT ]]> Insight in substance use disorder: A systematic review of the literature https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:41579 Fri 05 Aug 2022 14:44:41 AEST ]]>
